MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE BUTTERFLIES OF MALACCA. 
Subfamily Papilionin^e, Bates. 
Genus Ornithoptera, Boisduval. 
1. Ornithoptera ruficollis, n. sp. d . Allied to O. flavicollis : wings smaller, com- 
paratively narrower ; outer margin of primaries more distinctly inarched ; collar carmine. 
Expanse of wings 5 inches 4 lines to 6 inches 1 line. d Malacca. 
Unfortunately no female examples have come ; the male seems to be not uncommon. 
Mr. Distant has an example of the female from Province Wellesley. The primaries are 
of a rather more rounded form and duller black colour than those of the male ; the streaks 
are more grey in colouring ; the secondaries have a broad deeply indented marginal 
border, six large discal spots, the veins and the base black. It was taken on the 21st of 
February 1869, on the lower part of “ Batu Kawan.”
