﻿POMPEOPTERA HALTPHRON, var. PISTOR. 



Troides Haliphron, sub-species pistor, W. R. Rothschild, " Novitates Zoologicae," vol. iii., page 91, 1896. 



This form, which I did not sufficiently mention on page 

 25 of this volume, is described by Mr. Rothschild as " S 

 very similar to T. Haliphron pollens of Oberthur, but 

 differs in the abdomen being less edged with yellow be- 

 neath, and in the first discal yellow mark on the hind wing 

 being usually smaller." 



_" 2 . Most specimens as pale as pattern, some darker; 

 differs chiefly in the abdomen being less edged with yellow 

 underneath, in the discal area of the hind wing being 

 below more yellow, often as yellow as above, in the yellow 



spot in the cell being less extended, reaching only as far 

 as the origin of the subcostal nervure, in the first discal 

 yellow mark being larger, and in the whitish mark behind 

 the cell being less extended down towards the base." 



" Habitat : Kalao Island and Djampea Island, between 

 Celebes and Flores." 



These islands are in the sea of Flores, about 121 east 

 longitude, and o.o°5o' south latitude.
