109. Papilio (Menelaides) oreon, n. sp. 



A local form of P. Uris, Grodart, from Timor andj Australia, 

 differing from de Haan's figure of tliat species in the following parti- 

 culars. Female, forewing with the dark border narrower than in Uris, 

 the pale area not tinged with yellow, extending nearly to the base and 

 apparently more marked with black scales. On the hindwing below, 

 the whitish area is less yellow, extends nearer to the base, (occupying 

 two-thirds of the cell), and somewhat further discally, its outer margin 

 scalloped. The white area between the costal and subcostal veins is 

 nearer the base of that space, and is much narrower, being not so long 

 as broad, deeply concave outwardly. There is a submarginal row of 

 seven crimson spots (five in Uris), that in the interno-median space 

 joining the white area so as to enclose an oval black spot. On the 

 upperside, the hindwing is obscurely marked with red as in Uris. 

 Expanse four inches and three quai-ters. 



Of the male I have only one very bad specimen, not perceptibly 

 different from the female. 



Sumba, confined to the mountain-forests from which I have named 

 it. 



Papilio aristolochi^, Linn. 

 Sambawa, normal. 



110. Papilio (Charus) helenits, Linn. 



Sumba, Sambawa, confined to the mountains, scarce. 



111. Papilio (Harimala) maremba, n. sp. 



Male, above black, the markings metallic golden-green, greenish- 

 blue in some lights. Forewing with the base, all the cell and two-thirds 

 of the hind-margin uniformly powdered with green scales ; just beyond 

 the cell and forming a crescent round it, is a rather narrow band of 

 rich green from the upper median vein to well above the subcostal, the 

 veins black ; beyond this a bx'oad black band, but slightly irrorated 

 with green ; after which there is a broad sabapical and submarginal 

 area of diffused green, with separate green spots between the median 

 veins ; the outer and costal margins dark ; the hind-margin rich green 

 near the lower angle as far as the middle of the interno-median space. 

 A large unbroken dark discal patch covered with a cottony mass of odo- 

 riferous hairs, extending from the internal to the upper median vein, 

 reaching inwardly almost to the cell, and outwardly along the veins 

 almost to the outer margin. Hindwing with the base powdered with 

 green, a broad green discal area, scarcely entering the cell, extending 

 from the upper subcostal vein to the hind margin, broadest discally ;
