1885.] DR. HAAST ON MEGALAPTERYX HECTORI. 541 



Allied to Papilio bromius, but the transverse band is of a deeper 

 blue, both wings are less elongated, the secondaries are more acutely- 

 produced at the anal angle. Beneath, the light-coloured submarginal 

 band is straighter on the secondaries and less broken up, moreover 

 it is extended on the primaries as far as the median nervure beyond 

 the cell ; the apex of primaries and the secondaries are browner, and 

 though the latter have three radiating streaks in the cell as in P. 

 bromius, there are no intervenal streaks beyond it. 



A single male specimen is the only one Mr. Johnston obtained.
