1897.] L. de Niceville— List of the Butterflies of Bali, Sfc. 713 



Subfamily Papilionin^:. 



In this subfamily we have followed the order given by the Hon. 

 Walter Rothschild in "Novitates Zoologicoe," vol. ii, p. 167 (J895), 

 in his paper entitled "A Revision of the Papilios of the Eastern 

 Hemisphere, exclusive of Africa." As Elwes is not prepared to accept 

 Rothschild's trinomial nomenclature for local races, de Niceville has 

 raised all such to full specific rank while indicating in all cases what 

 Mr. Rothschild considers to be the parent species. 



290. Troidks naias, Doherty. 



Sarabawa, Sumba (Doherty). Treated by Rothschild as a sub- 

 species of T. haliphron, Boisduval, the typical form of which is from 

 Celebes and the adjacent small islands. Mr. Rothschild does not 

 consider that " Omithoptera " naias, var. sambavana, Doherty, from 

 Sambawa, can be separated from typical 0. nais from Sumba. Roths- 

 child spells the name " sambawanus." Dr. Staudinger has described 

 and figured this species as Omithoptera socrates from Sambawa and 

 Wetter. Mr. de Niceville has males only from Sambawa and Sumba, 

 which cannot be distinguished one from the other. 



291. Troides Helena, Linnaeus. 



Bali (Doherty). The Bali form appears to agree with the typical 

 one from S.-E. Sumatra and Java. Given full specific rank by Mr. 

 Rothschild. 



292. *Troides propinquos, Rothschild. 



Sambawa {Rothschild). Described by Rothschild as a subspecies 

 of T. helena, Linnaeus. 



293. Troides sagittatus, Frnhstorfer. 



Omithoptera helena sagittatus, Fruhstorfer, Soc. Enfc., vol. xi, n. 15, p. 123 

 (1896) ; idem, id., Berl. Ent. Zeitsch., vol. xli, p. 377, pi, ix, fig. 1, female (1897) ; 

 idem, id., Berl. Ent. Zeitsch., vol. xlii, p. 11 (1897). 



Lombok (Fruhstorfer). We have seen males only of this sub- 

 species of T. helena, Linnasus. They have no white internervular 

 streaks on the forewing on the upperside whntever. On the hindwing 

 the costal black band extends as far as the middle of the subcostal inter- 

 space, that is to say, there is a large golden-yellow streak anterior to 

 the first subcostal nervule ; there is usually only one submarginal black 

 spot in the first median interspace, which is joined to the marginal 

 black lunule, but in one specimen there is a small round isolated spot in
