13. DiADEMA MISIPPUS. 



Papilio misippus, Linnaeus, Mus. Lud. Ulr. p. 26-1 (176-J). 

 Not uncommon. 



.\n interesting male variety, approaching the female in coloration, 

 occurs in the collection. 



14. DiADEMA KEZIA, n. Sp. 



Allied to D. philippensis, but with the spots of the postmedian 

 fascia of primaries well separated, smaller, and in an angular series, 

 tlie primaries less brilliantly shot with blue, the submarginal spots of 

 secondaries less sharply defined ; wings below with all the white 

 spots smaller, the large spot on the costa of secondaries being no 

 larger than the other spots of the discal series ; this series on both 

 surfaces of all the wings continuous, not interrupted by the post- 

 median fascia of primaries : expanse, 6 3 inches, j 3 inches 3 lines. 



Common. 



This is probably the Diademn atige of Wallace's list ; we have five 

 examples in the collection of the British Museum ; there are others 

 in Mr. Hobson's series ; and I have seen several in private collections. 



15. DiADEMA PRISCILLA, n. Sp. 



$. Allied to D. avia {jacintha, Drury), but the primaries less 

 falcated, all the wings darker, deep chocolate-brown ; the primaries 

 with a lustrous trifid blue patch beyond the cell (instead of the four 

 blue spots of D. avid), a large bifid white subapical spot commencing 

 the discal series ; submarginal spots small and indistinct, otherwise 

 as in D. avia ; secondaries with all the spots white, the submarginal 

 series, of small semicircular or conical spots, followed near the margin 

 by a series of diverging linear white markings : wings below also 

 darker, with similar differences to those on the upper surface (of 

 course with no blue spots or patches) ; external angle of primaries 

 blackish, disk of all the wings with scarcely perceptibly paler baud : 

 expanse 4 inches 3 lines. 



One female. 



This species is still nearer to the Bornean form, which, however, 

 has not yet been described, so that I am compelled to compare it 

 with the Indian one. 



16. NePTIS ETJRYNOME. 



Limenitis eurynome, Westwood, Donov. Ins. China, pi. 37. fig. 3 



(1812). 



Several specimens. 



17. JuNONIA ALMANA. 



Papilio almana, Linnaeus, Mus. Lud. Ulr. p. 272 (1764). 

 Common. 



18. JuNONIA ASTERIE. 



Papilio asterie, Linnseus, Syst. Nat. i. 2, p. 769 (1766). 

 One specimen.
