captured by Wallace, is of small size, but does not differ from certain 

 Bornean and Sumatran individuals. Subsequently, however, he elected 

 to give the Lombok form subspecific rank. Mr. Elwes notes that 

 " P. antiphus is quite as good a species as many more, unless you can 

 show a complete series of intergrades between typical P. aristolochise, 

 Fabricius, and P. antiphus, Fabricius." [Mr. Rothschild in treating 

 P. antiphus as a local race or subspecies of P. aristolochise does not say 

 he has seen all intergrades between the typical forms of both, but he 

 notes that the latter has "two, three, four, or five discal spots to the 

 hindwing," which is very close indeed to the former which has no white 

 spots]. " I can distinguish my Lombok from Borneo, Sumatra and Nias 

 P. antiphus by the shape of the anal spot on the underside of the 

 hindwing, and if it is a var., it is a var. of P. antiphus, and not of 

 P. aristolochise."

Bali (Doherty). This species is allied to P. nox, Swainson, from 

 Java. Females only have been obtained. 



299. Papilio sumbanus, Fruhstorfer. 



Sarabawa, Sumba (Doherty), Sumba (Fruhstorfer). Mr. Doherty 

 records this species as P. erichthonius, Cramer, which is the correct 

 classical spelling of erithonius, a synonym of P. demoleus, Linnasns. 

 Mr. Fruhstorfer treats this species as a local race of P. demoleus. 

 Mr. Rothschild records it from Sambawa and Sumba as P. demoleus 

 sthenelinns, Rothschild. We have seen no Sambawa specimens, they 

 may be distinct from the Sumba form, in which case Rothschild's name 

 can be used for that local race, the type of which is from Alor 

 Island. The description of P. sumbanus has not been published up to 

 the date of passing final proofs of this paper. In some of his letters 

 to de Niceville, Fruhstorfer says he has named it P. pictus. 



300. Papilio demolion, Cramer. 



Bali (Doherty), Lombok (Fruhstorfer). Given full specific rank by 

 Mr. Rothschild. 



301. Papilio palawanicus, Staudinger. 



Bali (Doherty), Lombok (Fruhstorfer). Mr. Rothschild treats this' 

 species as a local race of P. helentls, Linna3Us. From typical P, helenus
