the transverse belt half as wide again, extending well beyond the 

 end of the cell : the discal spots also larger ; a broad /^-shaped 

 orange-ochreous njarking above the anal angle and a paler ochreous 

 marginal lunule below it ; other marginal lunules between the 

 veins lemon-yellow ; sides of body argillaceous : under surface of 

 wings nearly as in P. horribilis, but the pale areas more copper- 

 coloured ; the creamy bar and belt of primaries nearly as above, 

 the tapering band across the secondaries slightly different in out- 

 line and more prominent, two well-d6fined triangular whitish spots 

 at base of second median and upper radial interspaces : pectus and 

 legs as in P. horribilis. Expanse of wings 110 millim. 



Papilio pelodurus. 



One male specimen only was obtained, but Mr. Aurivillius, 

 who^se wide experience in African Lepidoptera gives great weight 

 to his opinion, agrees wdth me that it is a representative of an 

 entirely new and very beautiful species. I should have liked to 

 dedicate this Papilio to its discoverer, but I am afraid that the 

 name has been already employed.
