on each segment ; tlie head and legs are black, with two short conical 

 yellow processes on the anterior edge of the second segment, the third, 

 fourth and fifth segments have each three pairs of similar processes, 

 the sixth, seventh, eighth, eleventh and twelfth segments have each two 

 pairs of similar processes ; on the fifth segment is a broad black band 

 ending on each side on the spiracnlar region ; on the ninth segment 

 arising from the spiracular region and extending backwards over the 

 tenth segment is a broad oblique lateral band, which terminates in 

 the subdorsal region in a black conical process ; on the eleventh segment 

 is a much shorter posteriorly oblique broad black band, not reaching 

 the two black conical processes one on each side of the subdorsal 

 region ; the thirteenth segment is white marked with large black 

 patches ; posterior to the spiracles the body and the prolegs are white, 

 more or less interrupted with black lines. 



102. *Papilio deiphobus, Linnaeus. 



Herr J. Rober in Tijd. voor Ent., vol. xxxiv, p. 275 (1891), described 

 P. deiphobus, ab. hypoxanthos from the Key Islands. Neither Mr. 

 Rothschild nor we have seen this species from thence. Mr. Rothschild 

 spells the name " hypoxanthus." 



103. Papilio etjchenor obsolescens, Rothschild. 



Rare in Little Ke, not so rare in Great Ke Island. Mr. Rothschild 

 suggests that P. ambrax epirus, Wallace, may occur in the Key islands, 

 but we have not obtained it there. It is found on the Aru islands. 



104. Papilio codrus toealensts, Rothschild. Plate I, Pigs. 9, 9a, 

 larva ; 9&, 9c, pupa. 



Described from Little Kei Island (Kei Toeal). It is not very rare 

 on Little K6, but is difficult to catch. Kiihn has bred it, but does not 

 know the name of its food-plant. The larva is smooth, rapidly in- 

 creasing in width to the fourth segment, thence decreasing in width to 

 the anal segment, the head, body and legs are yellowish-green ; on the 

 dorsal area of the fifth segment are eight short indigo-blue marks which 

 form two diamond-shaped figures ; on the twelfth and thirteenth seg- 

 ments are five similar marks, one in the middle with four around the 

 central mark forming an oblong figure ; the second, third and fourth 

 segments each bears at the side a short, bluntly-conical, pale red, fleshy 

 process ; the thirteenth segment with a pair of diverging similar pro- 

 cesses ; the spiracles are indigo-blue. The pupa is violaceous light 

 greenish-gray, sometimes yellowish-green ; the anterior portion is broad, 

 and produced into a rather high process dorsal ly ; from the apex of this
