PAPILIO By Dr. K. Jordan. 
misimanus. 
also in specimens from other districts. Distributed over the whole of New Guinea; Waigeu, Salawatti (1 spe- 
eutropius. cimen in coll. Felder, is the locality correct?), Dampier.—eutropius Jans., from -Jobi. The cell-spot of the 
forewing in 3 and $ smaller than in New Guinea specimens, the 3 subapical spots enlarged, the 3. in the type (3) 
mago. united with a spot placed distally to the cell into a hatchet-shaped patch, in normal 36 (ab. mago Fruhst .) 
on the contrary these spots not united; in the $ the 2. subapical spot triangular and the 3. linear, both much 
enlarged on the under surface, the 4. discal spot of the $ smaller than in euclienor, above not as broad as the inter¬ 
space which separates it from the 3. spot, the latter not connected with the 2. The differences are probably not 
godarti. constant; only 1 3 (the type) and 1 $ are known to me in nature. — godarti Montr. (= intercastellanus Rothsch., 
euchenides Fruhst.). The subapical spots of the forewing above large, beneath touching one another, the sub¬ 
marginal spots following them also mostly larger than in euclienor. In the $ in addition the three anterior discal 
spots of the forewing separated, or the 1. and 2. touching for a short distance, the base of the 3. radial remaining 
rosselanus. black. D'Entrecasteaux Islands (Fergusson, Goodenough, Trobriand) and WoodMrk. — rosselanus Rothsch. 
J : the forewing above with 1 or 2 submarginal spots below the subapical row of 3 spots, the 3. subapical spot 
broadest posteriorly, hook-shaped, the 2. large discal spot about twice as long as its distance from the margin; 
on the upperside of the hindwing before the subcostal, distally to the pale yellow area, is placed an oblique pale 
yellow streak, which corresponds to the yellow submarginal patch on the underside; this latter mark very oblique, 
shaped almost like the figure 3, posteriorly at the subcostal united with the yellow area or at least very close 
sudestensis. to it. The $ not known. 6 36 from Bossel, Louisiade Islands, in the Tring Museum. — sudestensis Rothsch. 
Very similar to the preceding subspecies, the 1. subapical spot of the forewing broader, the oblique subcostal 
streak placed distally to the yellow area of the hindwing above only indicated, removed further from the yellow 
area, the corresponding spot on the under surface less oblique than in rosselanus, before the subcostal separated 
from the yellow area by a black interspace at least 2 mm broad. The 3. subapical spot of the forewing above 
broadest posteriorly, but mostly not hook-shaped; beneath it there is usually a small submarginal spot. The $ 
not known. Sudest, Louisiades; 4 36 i n the Tring Museum. — misimanus Rothsch. occurs on St. Aignan, 
Louisiades. 3 '■ the 1. subapical spot of the forewing above only a little longer than broad, the 3. as long as broad, 
sometimes somewhat broader than long or again somewhat longer than broad, at the innerside more or less ernar- 
ginate, beneath this spot a submarginal spot, the veins between the discal patches black, the 2. discal patch 
not quite reaching the cell before the 1. median, the last discal patch not produced further distally than the 4., 
on the hindwing usually a very small subcostal streak distally to the yellow area. On the forewing beneath 
the subapical spots usually touching one another and forming with the two large submarg’nal spots which 
follow them an almost uniformly curved macular band; the rounded black subcostal spot of the hindwing much 
broader at the subcostal than in the two preceding forms. The $ further distinguished by the strong reduction 
of the discal spots of the forewing, the 1. and 2. spot separated, the 3. small, far removed from the 2., some- 
t mes only indicated, the 4. absent or dot-like, the 5. narrow, not touching the submedian vein. All the preceding 
forms of P. euclienor possess in the 3 scent-scales on the veins of the forewing above, the genitalia are also very 
similar, although differences can be made out in the various subspecies. 1 ) The three following geographical 
races on the contrary have no scent-stripes and the genitalia, although of the same type as in the other forms, 
depilis. are strikingly different from those of these races. : — depilis Rothsch. The discal band of both wings in the 3 broader 
than in the preceding forms, the 4. and 5. discal spots extending nearer to the margin, the veins inside the band 
not black; the part of the yellow area of the hindwing placed behind the subcostal not constricted; on the under 
surface the margins of the cell-patch and of the discal patches of the forewing more or less diffuse, the black 
subcostal spot of the hindwing transverse. forewing with five discal spots, contiguous or only separated by 
narrow black veins, the yellow area o the hindw ng above not extending basad to the points of origin of the sub¬ 
costal and 2. median veins, the black subcostal patch of the hindwing beneath transverse as in the and the 
discal spots of the forewing beneath broadly contiguous with one another and with the cell-spot New Pomer¬ 
ania (= New Britain); New Lauenburg (= Duke of York). — novohibernicus Rothsch. Before the apex of the 
cell of the forewing above in 3 and $ there is a small yellow spot, the yellow area of the hindwing is more deeply 
incised at the veins than in depilis, on the under surface of the hindwing the black subcostal spot is rounded 
off proximally and distally, and the submarginal lunule placed behind the 2. radial is further removed from 
the yellow area than in depilis. In the $ all the discal spots of the forewing are broadly contiguous also above. 
New Mecklenburg (= New Ireland). — neohannoveranus Rothsch. The three subapical spots of the forewing 
in 3 and $ more rounded and the marginal spots of both wings larger above and beneath than in the two prece¬ 
ding forms, moreover the 2. section of the yellow area of the hindwing distally cut off straight or only feebly 
emarginate, the 3. section rather strongly constricted, the last section of the band of the forewing little if at all 
more produced distally than the one before it; the yellow area of the forewing still more strongly notched than 
in novohibernicus ; the b ack subcostal spot of the hindwing beneath somewhat less rounded than in that subspecies. 
In the $ all the discal spots of the forewing above separated by the brown-black veins, the 4. spot rounded.
