Gray's figure of P. alcMon is too highly coloured. The differences claimed 
for mariesi are of a very unimportant character ; there are indications of the 
submarginal black band in the type of this form, which was taken at the same 
time and place as a series labelled alehion from Kiukiang in the National 
Collection. 
The submarginal area is in some specimens of P. alehion suffused with 
blackish. 
Mr. Pratt failed to meet with this species at Kiukiang, and I have not 
received it from any of the other places in China visited by my collectors. 
This and the three preceding species are referable to the genus Pazala, 
Moore *, the type of which is P. ylycerion. Gray. 
Papilio Cloanthus. (Plate XXXII. fig. 2 var.)

" The wings above are almost black, the centre marked with a very broad fascia, common to each, 
of a whitish-green tint, but almost transparent. The extremity of this bar is broken in the 
apical half of the fore wings into four patches of unequal size, the first divided transversely, 
and the second longitudinally by the veins. The hind wings are moreover ornamented with 
four unequal-sized patches of similar colour, and the incisions between the tail and anal angle 
are edged with white. 
" The underside is paler brown, with similar silvery-green semitransparent spots. In addition to 
which the base of all the wings is also slightly green, and the fore wings have a pale line 
near to the outer margin ; near the base of the hind wings are also three small and slender 
red lunules edged with black. At the extremity of the discoidal cell arc also several black 
spots edged with dull pinkish red, a similar spot is at the anal angle, and another at the side 
of the first green patch. The body beneath is pale greyish green. The abdomen whitish 
with a black bar on each side." ( Westwood, I. c.) 
As the Chinese specimens do not quite correspond with Indian exam])les 
of P. cloanthus I describe them as a local race of that species under the name 
Var. clymenus, var. nov. (Plate XXXII. fig. 2.) Larger than the type, expanding over 100 
millim. in both sexes. The green markings are more restricted and distinctly interrupted by 
the neuration ; the median nervure is black instead of whitish as in the type.
