beyond it are four green lunules ; the outer part, including the tails, 

 black. Beloiv, the basal half of the wings deep brown, sparsely sprinkl- 

 ed with whitish scales ; forewing with a pale transverse band (much 

 more remote from the base than in P. pericles), broad subapically, deeply 

 indented outwardly, below the two lower subcostal branches, abruptly 

 narrowed below the lower radial vein. Hindwing with the disc some- 

 what whitish subabdominally, a row of seven narrow ocelli, outwardly 

 silvery blue, inwardly dull reddish. The ocelli are much further from 

 the outer margin than in the allied species. 



This splendid species has no near allies. Apart from the sex-mark, 

 it is nearest Papilio hravia, Guerin, from Borneo, Sumatra, and the 

 Malay Peninsula. 



Sumba, rare near the coast, commoner in the remote interior. 



Papilio (Haeimala) peranthus, var, 

 Sambawa, mountains, scarce. It seems to be intermediate between 

 the Javanese P, peranthus and the Timorese P. pericles. I have UU" 

 luckily neither specimens nor description. 



112. Papilio (Zetides) saepedon, Linn. 



Sumba, Sambawa. In Sumba the red markings of the underside 

 are sometimes replaced by ochreous-yellow. 



113. Papilio (Zetides) eubypylus, Linn. 

 Interior of Sumba and Sambawa, scarce. 



114. Papilio (Zetides) Agamemnon, Linn. 

 Sumba, Sambawa, 



Papilio (Pathysa) antiphates, Linn. 

 Sambawa. 



115. Papilio (Laertias) polites, Linn. 



Sumba, Sambawa. In Sambawa one female imitates P. aristolocJdce, 

 while another is similar, but with the white discal area replaced by 

 orange. I have unluckily not recorded any female from Sumba. 



116. Oenithopteea naias, n. sp. 



Male, above black, all the veins except at the extreme base and the 

 internal vein, bordered with paler brown, a longitudinal pale streak 

 generally in the middle of the cell. Hindwing with a small translucent 

 golden patch occupying less than half of the cell longitudinally (its 

 lower and basal part black) ; four discal spaces from the costal to the 

 upper median vein occupied by quadrate golden areas, which are not 

 incised outvyardly as in 0. plafa ; that between the costal and subcostal
