which is continued round by anal angle, forming a submarginal 
stripe, to apex, whence it forms a curve as far as discoidal 
nervure; a silver A-shaped mark between second median and 
discoidal nervule, the bases nearly resting on submarginal stripe; a 
subcrescent-shaped silver stripe near anal angle divided by first 
inedian nervule ; four small square black confluent spots just above 
submarginal stripe, between discoidal and second subcostal nervules ; 
above these, two ochreous lunules bordered above, as far as outer 
edge of silvery curved band, by a large black irregularly-shaped 
blotch ; space between arms of A-shaped mark, and inner edge of 
submarginal stripe between second median nervule and submedian 
nervure, deep chestnut ; a large black lunular spot between first 
and secend median nervules, its inner edge touching the subcrescent- 
shaped silver stripe. Thorax reddish brown; some bluish-green 
hairs on collar and between eyes; eyes dark reddish brown, bright 
red when the insect is alive.

PAPILIO XENOPHILUS, N. sp. 
Male.—Upperside dark brown : primaries—a_ straw-coloured 
transverse marginal band slightly curved inwards towards the apex, 
Straight on the outer edge and nearly parallel with hind margin, 
rather clouded on inner edge; nervures crossing band dark brown 
and clouded at their edges: secondaries tailed, scolloped ; a straw- 
coloured transverse and somewhat outwardly dentated band from 
costa, near apex, to inner margin just above anal spot; anal spot 
indistinct, composed above of blue and below of pinkish-yellow atoms ; 
indentations whitish. (nderside: primaries, same as above but 
band paler: secondaries, no band, but instead-a series of seven 
whitish-yellow spots, the three near anal angle and one at apex near 
costa small and indistinct, the other three large and oblong-oval ; 
beyond these spots patches of bluish atoms; a marginal row of 
indistinct orange-yellow spots, above each of which is a cloudy 
pyriform blotch; an orange-yellow spot at anal angle, bordered 
above by a few blue atoms. 
Exp. 110 millim.

This species comes near P. capaneus, Westw., but differs in 
having the bands right across the wings, and in the markings of the 
underside. 
PAPILIO ERSKINEI, n. sp. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 1.) 
Male.—Upperside greenish black : primaries with a marginal band 
of eight large creamy-yellow spots curved inwards at the apex, 
extending from subcostal to submedian nervure, and with indications 
of another spot between submedian nervure and inner margin, and a 
short dash of the same colour between the subcostal nervure and 
costa, and just above the subcostal spot ; base of cell dusted with a
