with narrow tail are ab. acuta Druce and specimens with quite short tail ah. periphus Oberth. (= brevicauda Stgr.); 
both forms occur singly among normal antiphus on the Natuna Islands and on Borneo, but are not known from 
Sumatra; on the other hand on Palawan no specimens with spatulate tail seem to occur. — antiphulus Fruh.st., 
from the Sulu Islands, is a large race, which recalls kotzebuea. The forewing is rather pale, the posterior black 
stripes of the under surface are narrow, there are no red spots between the 7. red spot of the hindwing and the 
apex of the cell beneath. — kotzebuea Eschsch. (= polybius Godt.) (16 a) inhabits the western Philippines: 
Mindoro, Luzon, Polillo, Bohol and Cebu. Almost all specimens have on the hindwing a red band, sometimes 
white in parts, extending from the apex of the cell to the abdominal margin. The specimens of the rainy season 
are dark, those of the dry season lighter. — The south-eastern Philippines are inhabited by philippus Semp. A 
broad-tailed form with 3—5 white discal spots on the hindwing. — adamas Zink. (= thoas Swains.; mamilius 
Fruhst.). Flies on Java, Bawean and Engano. The long hairs of the Irons are black; the median white spots 
of the hindwing are placed close to the cell, there are always (?) 5 spots present including the one placed behind 
the 2. median; the cell apparently never has a spot. Single specimens of antiphus also occur on Java. — balinus 
Fruhst., from Bali. The median white spots of the hindwing a very little shorter than in adamas, otherwise not 
different from adamas. — antissa subsp. nov. Forewing beneath somewhat more broadly black at the distal margin 
than in adamas. The submarginal spots of the hindwing large, the posterior ones reniform; the white band 
consists of 4 spots including the double spot placed behind the 2. median, which is red in the red-white in 
the $. A pair from Kangean, collected by Prillwitz in xkugust—September. — On Lombok occurs again a dark 
form, in which only now and again small white spots are present, which at least on the upper surface are shaded 
with black: this is lombockensis Rothsch. lombokensis Fruhst.). The forewing above is not so light as in 
antiphus and beneath is more broadly black at the distal and hindmargins. — Sumbawa on the contrary is in¬ 
habited by a white-spotted form, which is very constant: austrosundanus Rothsch. In this there are always 
only 3 discal spots on the hindwing in addition to the red spot placed before the hindmargin; the 1. and 3. spots 
are small, the 2. is twice or three times as long as broad and at most 3 |-> as long as its distance from the corre¬ 
sponding submarginal spot. — The most easterly locality for a form of P. aristolochiae is Flores. Here is found 
floresianus Rothsch. In the Tring Museum there are 3 specimens taken in the dry season, resembling large speci¬ 
mens from Java. The white area of the hindwing consists of 5 spots, of which the 1. is small and streak-shaped, 
whilst the others are large; the third of these spots is almost as long as its distance from the corresponding sub- 
marginal spot, the 1. to 4. spots are pure white, the 5., which is placed before the hindmargin, is red or reddish 
and not incised behind the 2. median; the submarginal spots are paler red above and beneath than in austrosundanus. 
P. annae. Head, sides of the thorax and the greater part of the abdomen grey-yellow or red. Forewing 
from the base to the 2. median and at all the margins black, otherwise semitransparent; with black stripes at 
the veins and folds; hindwing with spatulate tail, the white area intersected by black veins, more than half the 
cell white; the submarginal spots grey-yellow or the posterior ones red, above shaded with black. Mindanao 
and Mindoro. — annae Fldr. (15 c), from Mindoro, is the larger form, in which the white area of the hindwing 
has a yellowish tone. Red-bodied specimens may be distinguished as ab. erythrus ab. nov. — phlegon Fldr., from 
Mindanao and Guiamaras, is smaller than annae, the white area of the hindwing has a bluish (milk-white) tint, 
and the spots are smaller. The abdomen appears always to be reddish. Both subspecies are very rare in collections. 
P. mariae. Frons black, sides of the breast and tip of the abdomen red, the latter especially at the sides. 
Forewing similar to that of P. annae, the dark margin less sharp and the black basal area posteriorly much broader. 
The white cell-spot of the hindwing does not quite reach the point of origin of the 2. median; 4 or 5 white spots 
round the cell, of which the 3 middle ones are larger than the cell-spot; tail strongly spatulate; some of the sub¬ 
marginal spots on the under surface edged with white. Philippines; rare. — mariae Semp. (15 c) has 5 white 
spots on the hindwing besides the cell-spot. Bohol, Cebu and Mindanao. —- In almae Semp. there are only 4 spots 
at the cell of the hindwing, as the last spot, which in mariae is placed behind the 2. median, is wanting. Polillo; 
2 specimens in Semper’s collection in the Frankfort Museum Senckenberg, taken in October and November. 
P. phegeus Hopff. (15 c). Head, sides of the breast and the greater part of the sides of the abdomen 
red. Forewing as in mariae, but the distal 2 ,s darker. Hindwing without cell-spot, 3 white spots at the cell and 
further a white dot behind the 2. median; above 3 or 4 red submarginal spots besides the very small red spot 
placed behind the white area, the posterior spot very large; beneath 5 or 6 submarginal spots. — Described from 
,,Luzon“, but only found by Semper on Samar, Panaon and Mindanao. 
P. schadenbergi. Body similar to that of the preceding species. Forewing lighter; hindwing only with 
submarginal spots. In North Luzon and on the Babuyanes. — In schadenbergi Semp. (15 c), from North-West 
Luzon and the Babuyanes, the anterior submarginal spots are white and the posterior ones red; the forewdng
