is uniformly smaller, and the blue areas upon the wings are 

 less tinged with green. I think that in calling this local form 

 J. 8winhoei I am separating as good and constant a type as 

 that of Java, named J. ocyale by Hiibner, that of Malacca, 

 to which Mr. Distant has given the name of J. Wallacet, or 

 that of Turkey and Arabia, recently named by Mr. Lang ; 

 those who maintain that all these forms should still be com- 

 mingled under the name of J. orithyia are perfectly at liberty 

 to hold that opinion — the fact of the existence of local diffe- 

 rences still remains.

The genus to which the following species belongs has hitherto 

 been placed in this part of the Nymphalinge ; I have, however, 

 not the least doubt (in spite of its short thickened antennae) that 

 its proper place is in the Satyrinse between Z^e^Aera and Orinoma'^ 

 the neuration of the wings is almost identical with that of the 

 latter genus. M. Oberthiir's notion that Calinaga should be 

 placed among the Papilionidae shows that he has not examined 

 its structure ; no Papilio has aborted front legs.

Nearly allied to C. huddha^ but both sexes suffused with 

 greyish, especially in the discoidal cell of primaries, so that 

 the bands across and at the end of the cell are blurred and 

 indistinct; the elbowed discal series of spots more or less 

 suffused and reduced in size, as are also the spots beyond the 

 cell of secondaries ; the extremity of the cell in these wings 

 is partly filled in with grey ; the thorax is of a more orange 

 tint than in G. huddha. Expanse of wings, J 91 millim.,
