276 A NATURALIJST'S WANDERINGS 



the sub-apical el-ertmy-white band oh the fore-wing (the five spots of 

 which it is formed being considerably longer), in having an additional 

 spot of the same colour at the apex of the cell, and two small, pale 

 oohreoiis spots on the hind margin. The hind wings have the discal 

 creamy- white patch straight on its inner edge, and continued to Ihe 

 abdominal margin by two additional pale ochreous spots ; the marginal 

 spots of both wings are also more strongly marked. The under side 

 differs in having the white markings generally more extended, and the 

 additional spot in the cell of the fore-wings as on the upper side. Hab.

In comparing an exaniple of Papilio mturnus taken' in Sumatra with 

 the specimens in the British Museum, I found this nearly-related species 

 unnamed in the collection, which the authorities have kindly permitted 

 me to describe here. 



Papilio itam-puti, Butler, sp. nov. — Allied to P. alcibiades. but the 

 black markings on the primaries much broader, the fourth band forming 

 an acute triangle ; the external black border, occupying nearly a third 

 of the wing not completely divided by the green band (which is narrower 

 than in P. aloibiades), its inner edge sub-.sigmoidal ; this border terminates 

 just below the first median branches, not at the external angle as in P. 

 alcibiades ; the secondaries have slightly longer tails, and the externo- 

 anal area is greenish-gray, with black outer margin, and two black bars 

 near the extremity of the median interspaces ; on the under surface, in 

 addition to the differences noted above, the outer half of the discoidal cell 

 of the primaries is ochre-yellow, and the external half of the secondaries 

 is uniformly instead of partially ochreous. J- xpanse of wings, 77 millim.

From the Annals and Magazine of Natural History tor May, 1881, and 

 flgiu'ed in Janson's Aids to the Identification of Insects. 



Niger, nitidus, pube siiblilissima cinerea indutus ; thoracis disco macula oculata 

 ciocea ornato ; elvtris basi ct sub huraeros crebre gramilosis, plagis sex albis 

 ornatis. Long. 22 lin. 



Near to M. faundersii, Pa?coe (Trans. Ent. Soc. 3rd ser. iii. p. 272, 1866 ) ; 

 but, judging from the figure (pi. xii. fig. 1), it is a more robust species. 

 It differs chiefly in. having the base of the elytra and all the humeral 

 region thickly studded with shining granules. The scutellum is yellow. 

 Each elytron has three patches of white pubescence (which were doubt- 

 less yellow when the insect was alive) — the first and second placed as in 

 M. Haundersii, but very irregular in form ; the third very elongate, and as 

 if formed of the two apical spots of N. Saundersii. The underside is 

 clothed with yellowish-grey pile, with a broad stripe along the side from 

 behind the eye to the apical segment of the abdomen; this stripe is part 

 yellow and part white; it_ was probably yellow when the specimen was 

 alive.
