JiSOPA LOCERA MALA VAN A, 



nevertheless having a different aspect ; it is somewhat larger, has all the markings blacker and 

 thicker on both surfaces, the triangular hand (Le. f the fourth true band) broader, and more 

 elongated so as almost to cross the cell/' &c. Now tins last character is very variable in 

 Mai ac can specimens, for in my own collection are examples in which this band completely 

 crosses the cell ; others in which it does not reach the median nervure, as in the specimen 

 figured (Tab. XXXI., fig, 5), and which is the form Pompiliw ; whilst in others the hand is 

 much abbreviated and barely crosses a third of the cell, thus approaching and sometimes 

 completely agreeing with the form l\ alcihiades, and these three different aspects of the species 

 are to be found in a single collection made in Perak at the same time, I have therefore 

 thought it best to treat l\ antiphutes and all its varieties synthetically, and its habitats thus 

 and here given must be understood to apply in this larger sense. 



It should be added that the form discriminated by Mr. Forbes under the name J\ iuimputi 

 is found in Sumatra* 



The larva and pupa as found in Java have been figured by Harsh* eld and Moore," and 

 the first is stated to feed " on a species of Ucaria bearing the native name of Kulak" \

This is a somewhat numerous group of species whose distribution is focu&scd in the 

 Malayan Archipelago, and its hahital area also comprises Continental India and adjacent 

 islands, the Malay Peninsula, China, Japan, and some parts of Australia* 



Mr. Wallace, who observed these Iieautiful butterflies in a state of nature, describes them 

 as flying "with the greatest rapidity of any Papilios; the eye can scarcely follow them* 

 in fact, they much resemble in habit the humming Sphinxes, and hover over flowers, or more 

 frequently over damp places on the ground, with a constant vibration of the wings." $ 



Seven species are known to the writer as inhabiting the Malay Peninsula.
