mer large as in one of the males. Undeeside, hotli tvings as in the 

 male. BAndwing with the ground-colour black throughout. 



Expanse ; ^ , ? , 3-9 inches. 



Nearest allied to P. minereus, Gray (Lep. Ins, Nepal, p. 5, pi. i), 

 which inhabits Nepal and Sikkim, and with which it agrees in the male 

 in the structure of the abdominal fold of the hind wing and in the anal 

 valves, differing from it in its smaller size and in the tail not being 

 spotted with red ; the hind wing is also proportionally broader and much 

 shorter. We may remark here that the red cross on the upperside 

 of the thorax shewn in Gray's figure of P. tninereus (the specimen 

 figured being apparently a female) is not present in any specimen of that 

 species known to us, whilst the colouration of the thorax of P. pliiloxenus 

 on the following plate of the same work is also equally imaginative. 



P. minereoides presents an extraordinary superficial resemblance to 

 P. aristolocliicB, Fabricius, which occurs with it in Burma and Siam. 

 The male, however, may at once be distinguished from that species by 

 the form of the abdominal fold of the hindwing and of the anal valves, 

 and in both sexes by the longer and narrower discoidal cell of the 

 hindwing (which is never encroached upon by the transverse discal 

 patch), and by the underside of the same wing having only five spots 

 (of which the two anterior are invariably white) on the margin between 

 the veins, instead of the series of six red spots constantly present in 

 P. aristolocMce. 



One male from Sinbyoodine and a pair from Ponsekai were obtained. 

 There is also a single male in Major Marshall's collection taken in March 

 in the Thoungyeen forests, Upper Tenasserim.

 P. zaleucus, Hewitson, Ex, Batt., vol. iii, Faioilio, pi. viii, figs. 2'4, male; 25 

 female (1865). 



P. zeleiicus, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soo. Lond., 1878, p. 841. 



Two pairs of this fine species from Ponsekai agree with Hewitson's 

 tyj)es. There is a Papilio close to, but probably separable from, P. 

 (Pangeranoiosis) elephe7ior, Doubleday, in the collection of Messrs. God- 

 man and Salvin from Bankasoon in South Tenasserim, where it was 

 collected by Mr. William Davison. 



*]35. Papilio (Gharus) helenus. 

 P. helenus, LinnaBus, Syst. Nat., ed. x, p. 459, n, 4 (1758), 

 Several males from Ponsekai, and a few from the hills. 



136. Papilio (Gharus) chaon. 

 P. chaon, Westwood, Arc, Ent., vol, ii, p. 97, pi, Ixxii, figs. 1, 1* (1845). 

 Two males from Ponsekai.
