109. Papilio danisepttj sp. n. 



Allied to P. caunus, and mimicking D. rhadamanthus ; it 

 differs from the Bornean P. caunus in its superior size, the 

 much longer costal margin of the primaries, the much 

 larger white patch at the end of the cell, the better defined 

 submarginal spots on the primaries, less numerous and smaller 

 submarginal spots on the secondaries, and in having the basal 

 half of the secondaries white crossed by black veins. Ex- 

 panse of wings 120 millim. 



One male. Near Assam. 



In the Museum collection we have a male scarcely differing 

 from the above, and evidently of the same species, from 

 Silhet. In the Hewitson collection is a male from Borneo 

 corresponding with our Bornean specimen ; there are also two 

 males from Sumatra differing from the latter much as Dani- 

 sepa diocletianus does from D. Lowii] they agree with P. 

 caunus in form of wing and are of about the same size, but 

 differ in having nearly twice as much white at the base of 

 the secondaries*. As there can be no reasonable doubt of 

 their being constant to locality, I propose to name the Suma- 

 tran race P. velutinus. I have no doubt that the P. caunus 

 of M. Oberthiir's list, from Java, is a fourth form in which 

 the basal white patch has almost disappeared, whilst that from 

 Nias should have no patch at all. 



* P. csgialus, Distant (Annals, vol. xii. p. 352), from Singapore, seems 

 to differ in having mucli less white at base.
