1897.] L. de Niceville — List of the Butterflies of Ball, Sfc. 717 



309. *Papilio neumoegeni, Honrath. 



Sumba (Doherty). This species was described by Doherty ns 

 P. maremba, but Honratlrs name lias priority. The latter writer 

 erroneously gave the habitat as Sambawa ; it is found only in Sumba. 

 M. Oberthiir lias figured the male type example and described the femnle 

 in " fitudes d'Entomologie," vol. xix, p. 2, pi. iii, fig. 12, male (1894), 

 under Doherty's name. Dr. Pagenstecher hns written a note on it in 

 Ent. Nach., vol. xxii, pp. 151-153 (1896). Mr. Rothschild gives it full 

 specific rank. 



310. Papilio peranthus, Fabricius. 



Bali (Doherty), Lombok (Doherty and Fruhstorfer), var., Sambawa 

 (Doherly). Mr. Rothschild separates off the Lombok and Sambawa forms 

 as a local race as P. peranthus fulg ens, Rober, in which Mr. Fruhstorfer 

 follows him as far as the Lombok race goes. We are unable, however, 

 to trace any differences in either sex between typical P. peranthus from 

 Java, and P. fulgens from Bali, Lombok and Sambawa. In writing to 

 de Niceville Mr. Fruhstorfer says that the Lombok and Sambawa form 

 will be described as P. transiens, Fruhstorfer, and the Alor form as 

 P. peranthus phoeb us. The Tanah-Djampea form is P. peranthus interme- 

 dins, Snellen. None of these local races can in our opinion be separated 

 from the parent form. 



311. Papilio alcibiades, Fabricius. 



Bali (Doherty), Lombok {Fruhstorfer), Sambawa (Doherty). One 

 specimen from Bali in de Niceville's collection agrees very closely with 

 Bimer's figure and description of his P. antiphates javanicus from Java, 

 and both the Java and Bali forms are markedly different from the con- 

 tinental form in having the marginal markings on the upperside of 

 the hindwing entirely densely black, instead of block mixed with grey 

 powdering; other specimens from Bali are normal. Mr. Rothschild 

 treats this species as a local race of P. antiphates, Cramer. 



312. *Papilio hermocrates, Felder. 



Sumba (Pagenstecher) . Mr. Rothschild considers this species to be 

 a local race of P. aristeus, Cramer. 



313. Papilio sallastius, Staudinger. 



Sambawa (Doherty). Treated by Mr. Rothschild as a local race 

 of P. eurypylus, Linnaeus. Dr. Pagenstecher has figured it in Jahr. 

 des Nass. Ver. fur Natur., vol. xlix, p. 112, n. 12, pi. i, fig. i, male (1896), 

 J. ii. 91
