Msile. Very closely reseinbliDg the corresponding sex of E. nianiair\ 7 the upper surface befog 

 indistinguishable; the anterior wings beneath have a distinct subapicnl pale fuscous patch, and the two 

 narrow disca! fasciie are placed wider apart, the interior one i>i in^ almost obsolete and the outer one 

 waved ; both win^s Uaa-fith juv also sonu-wliat paler in hue. 



Female. Wings above pale fuli^iiiouw. Anterior wings with the cell crossed by the following dark 

 fuscous lines; — one near base, two near centre with their bases eount-eted, and two al teruiiiiation, the 

 inner of which is strongly curved and the outer deeply sinuate, both narrowly connected at base; 

 immediately beneath cell are a short line near outer base of third median nervule, a looped line forming 

 an irregular spot at inner base of the same nervule, and a short line near base of the submediau uervure ; 

 a Bobmarginal series of large greyish obcouical spots separated by the m ivules which occupy about 

 outer half of wing, crossed by a much-waved and deutate narrow brown fascia; the two uppermost of 

 these spots have their centres excavated and stnTused with the fuliginous ground colour, and they are 

 ail conical I v pointed inwardly, cxcejrtiug the lowermost, situate above the submediau tk-rvui'o, which is 

 concavely excavated. Posterior wings with the outer half (excluding margin) more or less irrorated with 

 pale greyish, its inner margin defined by a narrow waved brown fascia, and crossed by a regularly curved 

 but inwardly dentate narrow brown fascia, the cell crossed by some obscure dark lines. Wings beneath 

 pale ochraceous; anterior wings with the cellular lines as above, the largo obcouical spots extending 

 to margin and marked as above ; lower wings as above, hut much paler. Body and legs more or leas 

 eoncolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 3 52 millim. ; 9 68 to 74 millim. 



Has. — Malay Peninsula; Penaug (coll. Moore and Brit. Mus.); Malacca (Pinwill — Erit. Mus. and 

 Biggs — coll. Gosse) ; Singapore (colls. Moore and Dist.) 



The typical female specimen (Tab. XVIII., L 8) is from Penaog, and contained in the 

 collection of Mr. Moore, whilst the variety (Tab. XV., f, 3) is from Malacca, and in the 

 possession of Mr. Gosso, to both those gentlemen my thanks being due for the loan of 

 the same. 



The females are very variable, and I have seen all the intermediate forms between the 

 twu specimens here figured. The J. ladekimjii, Voll.,' may also be but. a variety of this species, 

 but in its typical form, as figured by Vollenhoven, certainly does not appear to be found in 

 the Malay Peninsula. 



Mr, Butler | identified the male of this species as the Papilio moiuhu, Fabr. ; I have not 

 followed him in this course for several reasons :■ — Firstly, the Fabiieian type is not contained 

 in the Banksian collection, and therefore the identification is nnverifiable ; secondly, the males 

 of a number of allied species are so similar that it seems impossible, from the description 

 of Fabricius alone, to decide upon one more than another ; and thirdly, as Mr. Moore has 

 figured his species (female specimen) it seems unnecessary to sink the same without more 

 conclusive reason,

V:- .t syimnym of this species Mr. Liutler (Cat. Fabr, Lop. p. Si) J lias placed tliu P. crtcy/u, Fabr., statiu» that it is 

 " figured by Jones in bis unpublished * Icones." " The well known American luuidunlerifit Mr. W. H. Eduurds hixs t however, 

 strongly argued (Cunad. En torn. voL siv. p. 54) on the "utterly worthiest* character of the Jones drawings for identification 

 of ttpecics/' Fabricius frequently denei-ibed train these drawings without any knowledge of the locality from whence the 

 urig inula come.
