costa and extending within the transverse band to nearly the apical 

 angle of secondaries and gradually becoming narrower.

This species is much like the last, but differs in having the outer 

 half of both wings black, curtailing to a much greater extent the 

 reddish-fulvous of the basal portion of the wings. The blue spots 

 on the primaries, instead of forming a distinct band across the wing, 

 form the lower end of the apical series of white spots which in 

 J), dascon are only indicated near the costal margin. 



The female is not unlike that of D. comriei, but is smaller, has a 

 more restricted white patch on the primaries, and the base of the 

 wings is of a richer fulvous tint. 



PiERis ORNYTiON, sp. nov. (Plate LVI. fig. 5.) 



c? . Exp. 2-5 in. 



Upper surface white, apex of primaries, extending nearly to the 

 anal angle, and cilia of secondaries, black : beneath, apical third of 

 primaries black, tipped with yellow, the rest white; secondaries black, 

 with a strong crimson dash extending from the base some distance 

 along the costal region, and a fine submarginal line of the same 

 colour (in some specimens almost obsolete) conmiencing shortly 

 heyond this and running to the anal angle. 



5 like S , but costa and apical half of primaries black, secondaries 

 greyish, with broad black outer margin ; beneath, the black is 

 broader than in the male, and the submarginal red line of the 

 secondaries is but faintly indicated.

Papilio goldiei, sp nov. (Plate LVI. fig. 6.) 



2 . Exp. 3-5 in. 



Wings dusky black, primaries beneath the median nervure (and 

 also above, occupying nearly half the cell) creamy-white, divided 

 into four long stripes by the median branches, which are edged witli 

 black ; a row of submarginal whitish spots commencing near the end 

 of the cell extends to the anal angle ; within this are four subapical 

 irregular-shaped spots of the same colour ; secondaries have a broad 

 creamy patch, extending from the basal half of the inner margin to 

 beyond the cell, divided by the nervules, which are strongly marked, 

 and a submarginal row of six white s})Ots ; beneath as above, but 

 with four small white spots (one on the primaries, three ou the 

 secondaries) at the base of the wings.

Mr. Goldie has sent four examples of this insect, all of which 

 are females : three of these are precisely similar, and correspond to 

 the description given above ; in the fourth (fig. 6) the black extends 

 over the greater portion of the wings, the whitish markings being 

 reduced to a very narrow compass. In the absence of more speci- 

 mens, we are inclined to regard this as micrely a dark variety. In 

 form the species resembles Paj/ilio leucothoe of Westwood, from
