108. Papilio (Iliaues) merapu, n. sp. 



Male, above like P. memnon, the pale rays gray, and not very 

 distinct on the forewing. Below the basal crimson areas are larger, the 

 longitudinal streaks in the cell of the forewing obsolescent. Hindwing 

 with the outer pale area partly gray, partly orange-ochreous, narrow, 

 the outer line of spots many times larger than in memnon, the inner 

 lying outside of the band, only touched outwardly with ochreous ; a 

 separate oblique orange stripe on the abdominal border. The species is 

 the largest of the group, much larger than m,emno?i, its expanse being 

 six and a half inches. 



Koloki, Pada Dalung, Sumba, 2 — 3000 feet. 



This fine butterfly is called by the Sumbanese after their god 

 Merapu, and I was told that it was after a fashion held sacred, though 

 they raised no objection to my catching specimens. As an instance of 

 the sober tastes of this people, I may remark that they, consider this 

 butterfly far handsomer than O^-nithoptera naias or Papilio m^aremha. 



A form of Papilio memnon occurs in Sambawa, but I have no 

 specimens.
