A NATUBALItiT'S WANDERINQS 



the sub-apical creamy-white band on the fore-wing (the five gpots of 

 which it is foniied being considerably longer), in having nn adoitiomU 

 spot of the Borne colour at the apes of tljc cell, and two moaU, pale 

 ochreouB Bpots on the hind margin. The liind wings have the discal 

 creamy-white ])atch straight on its inner edge, and continned to the 

 abdominal marg^in by two additional pale ocbreoua Bpot^; the marginal 

 Bpotfi of lx)th wings are aleo more strongly markecl. The under side 

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

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

 Borneo. In cot. Brit, Mnsenra. 



In comparing an example of PapSio satumm taken in Sumatra with 

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

 nnnamed in the collection, which the anthoritios have kindly permitted 

 me to describe here. 



FapiUo itam-puti, Butler, sp. nov,— Allied to P. alciht<tfle$, hut the 

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

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

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

 than in P. aJcibiadesX its inner edge sub-sigmoidal ; this liorder temmiates 

 just below the first median branches, not at the external angle as in i?, 

 alcihiadeg ; the Secondaries have slightly longer tails, and the extemo- 

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

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

 addition to the differences noted alcove, the outer half of the diBcoidal cell 

 of the primaries is ochre-yellow, and the external half of tJie secondariefl 

 is uniformly instead of partially ochreous. Expanse of wings, 77 milliin. 

 Lainix)ngs. In col. Brit, Musuem.

Near to M. Saundersii, Pascoe (Trans. Ent. Soc. 3rd eer. iii. p. 272, 1866 ) ; 

 but, judging from the ligure (pi. xii. fig, 1), it is a more robust si>ecie8. 

 ft differs chiefly in having the base of the elytra and all the humeral 

 r^on thickly studded with shining ^Tanule& The scutellum is yellow. 

 Each elytron has three patches of white pubescence (which wore doulit- 

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

 JH. b'auTidersii^ but very irregular in form ; the third verj' elongate, and as 

 if formed of the two apical spots of N. Saundersit. 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 ia part 

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

 alive.
