A New Papilio from Burnt 361 



wider and more strongly toothed than in aeacus, in cellule 2 reaching 

 a third of the cellule, and in the submedian area leaving a short yellow 

 stripe, not quite the length of the lower edge of cell from base to 

 vein 2, placed with its greater length along vein 2. Marginal black 

 dusting on the yellow area from vein 2 to before vein 4, as in aeacus, 

 and next it in 3 a round black spot which is absent in the allied species ; 

 some slight black dusting in 5 and 6 on the lower edge of the tooth. 

 Fringe black. The whole yellow area strongly opalescent. 



Underside of fore wing with the stripes broader and whiter, and 

 some greenish-yellow scaling at the base of cellule 2. Hind wing 

 with a broader and longer stripe below the cell, its outer edge diffuse. 

 Black margin not extended in cellule 2. Some slight black dusting in 

 2 and 3 at the inner part of the dark markings which show through 

 from above. Strongly opalescent as above. 



? . Fore wing with vein stripes as in the 3 , but those on 2 not 

 reaching the cell, also a narrow stripe along distal part of submedian 

 fold, a heavy stripe on the upper distal half of the submedian, and 

 one below it more proximal. Hind wing with an amber-yellow discal 

 area comprising a large patch in the outer half of cell and smaller 

 patches in the bases of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 ; with a spot above vein 7, and 

 one below 2. These postcellular patches are slightly incurved, and 

 the spot below 2 is incurved on both edges and joined to a grey-white 

 spot which is separated by the submedian. Submarginal yellow 

 markings placed at a similar distance from the margin as in aeacus, 

 without any proximal vein extension and with much shortened distal 

 vein extensions. A curved mark in 7 ; two much larger marks in 

 6 and 5, shaped somewhat like a note of interrogation ; three spindle- 

 shaped patches in 4, 3 and 2, all dusted with black. 



Underside of fore wing with vein stripes broader and purer white. 

 Hind wing as above, but lower submarginal patches not dusted with 

 black, and lower part of submedian spot not grey-white. 



Length of fore wing : 3 , 85 mm., ? , 105 mm. 



West Bum, 2,000—5,000 feet, April, 1922, C, F., and J. Pratt. 



Described from one 3 three ? ? . 



This species is in part allied to rhadamanthus from the Philippines. 

 The 3 has similar well-defined stripes on the fore wing, and the 

 abdomen is deep-brown above without yellow edging to the segments. 

 In this species however, veins 2—4 of the hind wing are much closer 

 together, and in the ? the submarginal markings of the hind wing 

 are nearer the margin.
