Papilio chrysippus. Linnaeus. Mus. Ulr. p. 263, (1764). 

 [This very widely distributed insect is common in N. 

 Borneo but of extreme variety in the more southern 

 parts of the island ; it is interesting to note that the 

 females of //ypolimnas uiisippus which mimic it very 

 closely are hardly ever met with except in N. Borneo 

 though the males are somewhat less rare in the southern 

 part of the island ; in other words, the local distribution 

 of the mimics closely follows that of the model].
