PAPILIO. By Dr. K. Jordan. 88 
surface paler. From North, Central and South Celebes; common, especially in the hills. From the Sulla Islands 
no Gloss-Papilio is yet known. 
P. lorquinianus. Very nearly allied to P. peranthus. rf: the metallic area of the forewing much less 
straight distally than in P. peranthus, posteriorly broader, extending between the pilose stripes, forewing with 
blue or green submarginal band, hindwing from the subcostal with distinct submarginal spots of the same colour, 
the basal area of the hindwing always extends, beyond the apex of the cell. Under surface similar to that of 
P. peranthus. In the $ the metallic area of the forewing is more uniformly rounded than in the U, also the sub¬ 
marginal spots of the hindwing above are larger and the under surface is paler. Earlier stages unknown. In the 
genitalia P. lorquinianus agress almost entirely with P. peranthus. As in the other Gloss-Papilios the metallic 
area assumes a deeper blue tone when the light falls obliquely from the front or side. Moluccas and Dutch New 
Guinea. —■ lorquinianus Fldr. (= philippus Wall, partinr, ? apollodorus Fruhst.) (37 b). Greenish blue, the 
metallic area of the forewing does not quite reach the apex of the cell, but there are always a few metallic spots 
distally to the upper angle of the cell. Halmaheira, Ternate. — gelia subsp. nov. The black apical area of the gelia. 
cell of the forewing about twice as large as in the preceding form, the metallic area reaching at most to the 3. 
radial, also no metallic spots are placed at the distal side of the apex of the cell. Batjan. — philippus Wall. The philippus. 
metallic spots are more extended in both sexes than in lorquinianus and more greenish, the green submarginal 
macular band on the upperside of the forewing and the grey band on the underside are narrower. Ceram, very 
rare. From Obi, Burn and Amboina no form of lorquinianus is yet known. — albertisi Oberth. (37 a). Golden albertisi. 
green, appearing blue when looked at sideways or from the front; the metallic area even larger than in philippus ; 
the under surface very uniform dark brown, the light discal band of the forewing mostly only indicated. The 
pilose stripes are usually separated, except that the thin stripe of the submedian fold, if present, is always con¬ 
fluent with the lower median stripe. The $ not known. Dutch New Guinea: Andai and Ivapaur. 
P. pericles Wall. (= hekaton Fruhst., hermogenes Fruhst., olympiodorus Fruhst.) (37 b). The blue pericles. 
metallic area always reaches beyond the apex of the cell of the forewing and is distally cut off straight as in 
P. peranthus, only in the $ the lower angle of the cell sometimes remains black. Upper surface of the hindwing 
with 5 or 6 blue submarginal spots, on the other hand the submarginal band of the forewing is only indicated 
by a very few blue and yellowish scales, whilst the deep black discal band is distinct. The pale discal band of 
the forewing beneath is placed distally to the subcostal fork and is proximally somewhat yellowish and almost 
entirely straight; the yellow lunules of the hindwing are deeper yellow than in P. peranthus, also the costal lunule 
is almost entirely orange-yellow. The pilose stripes of the are very variable; they are sometimes all very narrow 
and in that case are isolated. The genitalia are strikingly different from those of the preceding species. — The 
earlier stages not known. Distributed from Timor and Wetter to the Tenimber Islands: Dutch and Portuguese 
Timor, Wetter, Moa, Letti, Roma, Dammer, Babber and Tenimber (Selaru and Sjerra), probably also on the 
other islands of this group. 
Ulysses-Group. 
The upper surface of the wings blue from the base to one-third or beyond, the forewing above distally 
pure black without metallic or pale scales; the submarginal spots on the underside of the hindwing yellow, 
proximally margined with blue or blue-grey and distally with black, the sequence of the colours consequently 
just the reverse of that in the peranthus- group. 
P. ulysses. Upper surface in the velvety black, the forewing from the base at least to the apex of the 
cell and the hindwing to the middle of the disc or beyond glossy blue, mostly with greenish tinge; the forewing 
without a trace of metallic scaling in the black distal area, with long pilose stripes on the veins, which vary indi¬ 
vidually and geographically. Under surface blackish brown from the base to beyond the cell of the forewing and 
to about the middle of the disc of the hindwing, the distal part more or less distinctly yellowish; forewing with 
grey discal band, which is very broad anteriorly and gradually narrower posteriorly; hindwing with a row of 
submarginal spots which are lighter or darker yellowish and margined distally with black and proximally with 
white (or white and blue). The $ less deep black than the <$, the blue area of both wings reduced, less densely 
scaled with blue, the hindwing above with blue submarginal spots. Under surface as in the but paler. The 
body of the larva divided by a straight whitish lateral line into a dark green dorsal and a greenish white ventral 
part; on the 4. segment a white transverse band which is laterally narrowed, being elongate-luniform, behind 
the band in the segment-incision a small black dorsal spot, from the 6. segment at each side a subdorsal white 
spot, of which the 3. is the largest; prothorax with 2 slight protuberances, penultimate segment with 2 long 
rough spines. On Citrus. Pupa beneath very strongly convex; head with two widely separated short smooth 
processes, thorax above feebly convex, without horn, but with slight central keel, which is continued almost 
to the tip of the abdomen, the abdomen also with lateral keel, the 3. abdominal segment the broadest, laterally 
not angular but rounded. The butterfly is found both in the woods and in open country and is especially fond 
of sunny river-beds, in which it flies high above the ground. The flight is undulating, the butterfly rising and
