romulus, the name under 

 which the hector like females 

 were described, while polytes 

 was used for the aristolochiae 

 like females. I propose here 

 to employ stichius for the 

 latter form of- female though 

 up to the present it has only 

 been used for the females of 

 this form that have no spot in 

 the cell of the hiudwing. The 

 female resembling the male 

 stands as cyrus. 

 I propose the name stiehioides for 

 the aristolochiae like females 

 from the Andamans and Nico- 

 bars, where the romulus foi'm 

 does not occur. 



Moore places janaka and bootes 

 in Byasa with latreillei, etc : I 

 propose Mimbi/ana as the sub- 

 genus for these two species.

Seitz records P. demetrius

 India, but this seems to be 

 error.
