PAPIL10. By Dr. K. Jordan. 
the spots of the hindwing not confluent although sometimes touching one another. Borneo; Balabac. — 
trogon. trogon Voll. ($ = eleanor Walk.) (7 c). 3 not distinguishable with certainty. $ similar to the <$, less white 
than in the other forms, above almost without white, and beneath the anterior spots of the forewing also 
reduced. East and West Sumatra, all the year round in the plain and the foot-hills. 
trojana. P. trojana Styr. (5 b). : metallic spots of the forewing shorter than in brookiana; hindwing with 
a band placed outside the cell, beneath the submarginal spots, as also in the §, further removed from the 
margin than in brookiana. The blue-grey scaling on the upper surface of the hindwing of the $ only sparse 
in and behind the cell, on the other hand on the disc beyond the cell condensed into a band. — Palawan; still 
rare in collections. A sojourn on this island is very unpleasant and dangerous, especially on account of the 
many doubtful characters who have taken refuge there from the Philippines. So far no collector has suc¬ 
ceeded in reaching the mountains. 
P. hypolitus. Cell of the hindwing distally widened, especially in the 3; forewing with white vein- 
stripes. $: abdomen above dark yellow and black; hindwing above black, with a row of yellow submarginal 
spots which are also present beneath, the under surface between these spots and at the margin black, other¬ 
wise silky grey-white or yellowish white. $ on the hindwing between distal margin and cell with large spots, 
the anterior ones yellow, the posterior grey, all except the first enclosing black discal spots, cell entirely 
black or with a small apical spot; beneath as above, but the cell of the hindwing always with a large grey- 
white spot and the forewing more strongly streaked. Earlier stages not known. According to Ribbe the 
butterfly occurs on Ceram at the coast wherever there is underwood. The Moluccas and Celebes; several 
geographical forms. The insect is not yet known from Burn. — hypolitus Cr. (= panthous L. partim, pan- 
darus Houtt., remus F., antenor Well., hippolytus Esp., hippolythus Esp.) (8 a). $ grey-white on the under 
surface of the hindwing. hindwing beneath with a large cell-spot, the three posterior marginal cells white, 
only yellow between the black discal and submarginal spots. Ceram and Amboina. — antiope Rothsch. 
Only GS are known to us. On the whole smaller than hypolitus; the vein-stripes of the forewing above less 
distinct; on the underside of the hindwing the lower outer angle of the 2. yellow spot more produced, the 
interspace between the 2. and 3. spots consequently smaller, the black spot placed before the 3. radial larger, 
the white spot before the 2. radial always very small and the median nervure more narrowly black. Morty 
(= Morotai), a number of i n the Tring Museum, collected by Dumas. According to Wallace hypolitus 
also occurs on Halmahera, and Pagenstecher records the insect from Halmahera and Ternate. As in the other 
subspecies the $ of antiope is probably more strikingly different from hyp. hypolitus than the $. — sulaensis 
Stgr. Hindwing beneath in J and $ and in the $ also above more extended yellow than in hypolitus. The 
cell-spot of the hindwing of the $ beneath small. Sula Islands: Mangola and Besi. —• cellularis Rothsch. 
(= celebensis Stgr. nec Wall.). $ as in hyjtolitus; the semitransparent vein-stripes on the upper surface of 
the forewing only very sparsely scaled with white; the 2. yellow spot of the under surface of the forewing 
mostly broader than long. $ also above with cell-spot on the hindwing. South and North Celebes; Talaut. 
According to Piepers also on Saleyer (is this correct?). 
P. darsius Gray (9 b, c). In £ and $ the abdomen above brownish black; the golden area of the hind¬ 
wing cut off straight towards the base, the cell at least to the base of the 2. median black, the golden cell- 
spot sometimes dot-like; the last golden patch of the $ the largest, in the $ the black discal spots touching 
one another; the white stripes at the lower median of the forewing of the $ far removed from the cell. 
Sometimes the <$ with several black discal spots in the yellow patches: H-ab. cambyses Ehrm. — Ceylon, 
almost everywhere in hilly country, but also in the plains in open and wooded districts; the butterfly is fond 
of feeding at heliotrope. Larva dark purple-brown, with blackish streaks; lateral band pale red. Thwaites 
often observed how a pair danced up and down in the air, the $ always remaining about 2—3 ft. above the <$.

P. vandepolli. Breast without red; abdomen entirely or for the most part black. cell °f the hind¬ 
wing broad, the abdominal area and the base of the wing broadly black, the black distal margin likewise broad, 
the golden cell-spot obliquely truncate, its proximal margin nearly forming a prolongation of the 2. median vein. 
$: the posterior 2 or 3 pairs of white vein-stripes of the forewing placed at a distance from the cell; the golden 
area of the hindwing proximally straightly truncate or almost, not reaching to the middle of the cell. Egg pale 
honrathiana yellow. Sumatra and Java. — honrathiana Martin (8 b) occurs in the hilly country of North-East Sumatra. 
Body entirely black apart from the thin red collar, rough hairy. In the $ cell of the forewing at the apex with 
vandepolli. an M-shaped white mark, the vein-stripes thin, the last 3 pairs far removed from the cell. — vandepolli Snell. (8b).
