PAPILIO. By Dr. K. Jordan. 
of the cell is prolonged to the costal margin in the form of a narrow, curved band, inside this band before the 
costal mostly a yellow spot, in addition a row of yellow spots on the disc from the apex of the cell to the anal 
angle. No yellowish wool in the scent-fold of the g. The $ similar to the <$. The earlier stages not known. In 
wooded districts of the lowlands and hills, the often in large numbers at wayside puddles and on sandy river- 
banks. In the northern part of its range the summer specimens are larger and have smaller patches than the 
clanis. spring specimens. — clanis subsp. nov. The cell-spots of the forewing and the submarginal spots of both wings 
above and beneath fully as large as in the North Indian spring form; the discal spots of the forewing narrow and 
long and the black vein-stripes separating them as broad as in the North Indian summer form, the cell-patch of 
the hindwing longer and narrower than in the latter. No light streak at the abdominal side of the hindwing above 
chiron. and only a very narrow one beneath. Fokien, one taken in April. — chiron Wall. The hindwing bears at least 
ligyra. beneath always a white stripe behind the cell. In the spring form, f. vein, ligyra form, nov., the discal spots and 
beneath also the submarginal ones are large, the median veins of the forewing narrowly black, the hindwing 
with a small discal spot before the 1 st median. The summer form, f. aest. chiron Wall. (= chironides Hour.), 
is larger and the light patches are smaller. Distributed from Nepal to Tonkin, Annam and the Shan 
bathycloides. States.— bathycloides Hour. (44 c). Wings narrower than in the preceding forms; hindwing always without 
stripe at the abdominal side of the cell, above without discal dot before the 1 st median and on the 
bathycles. under surface without yellow costal spot. Malay Peninsula, Penang, Sumatra, Borneo, Palawan. — bathycles 
Zink. (44 c). Hindwing without stripe at the abdominal side of the cell, above with discal dot before the 1 st 
median and beneath with yellow costal spot; the veins between the posterior discal patches of the forewing 
and the patches of the basal half of the hindwing above and beneath more narrowly black than in the 
other forms, java. 
leechi. P. leechi Bothsch. Distinguished from P. bathycles chiefly by the strongly developed woolly 
scent-organ in the fold of the hindwing. •— C'hang-Yang, Central China, is sure to occur also further south; 
only 1 $ known. 
P. macfarlanei. Similar to P. eurypylus and agamemnon. Patches on the upper surface scaleless, 
except the white-scaled costal patches of the hindwing, pale grey-green, in the basal area vellow-green. 
Forewing with grey basal and subbasal band, the latter .nearly always united posteriorly with the discal 
band, in addition three pairs of spots in the cell and a single spot at its apex, on the disc a 
band composed of spots, which is strongly widened posteriorly, between this row of spots and the apex 
of the cell two single spots, further a submarginal row of small spots; on the hindwing an anteriorly 
broad, posteriorly pointed band before the middle, the band is forked anteriorly and has between cell 
and subcostal a spur-like projection, which is often isolated and sometimes entirely absent, a curved row of 
4 discal spots, which are sometimes reduced to 3 or 2, and a row of 5 or 6 submarginal spots, the marginal 
tooth at the lower radial only projects a little more than the other marginal teeth. The patches of the 
underside as above, but scaled with the exception of the spots in the basal part of the cell of the forewing; 
hindwing in the fork of the light band with a red double spot extending from the costal margin to the 
cell, another red spot between subcostal and cell and often also one before the anal angle. The $ very 
similar to the but the light markings of the hindwing often reduced. Larva larger than that of P. agamemnon, 
the thoracic spines smaller, between these spines a longitudinal stripe consisting of dark granules. Pupa with 
truncate head, the angles of which project distinctly; the thoracic horn laterally compressed (as in P. agamemnon), 
brown, this colour continued as an irregular band from the upper margin of the wing-cases to the apical margin 
of the 4 th abdominal segment, at the sides of the mesothorax a brown spot, which is larger than in P. agamemnon. 
Dr. Hacibn found the larva abundantly in New Guinea on the imported Anona muricata. The butterfly is very 
common in some parts of its range. On the Moluccas, New Guinea with the small neighbournig islands and on 
cestius. the Bismarck Islands. — cestius Fruhst. (= aegistus Cr. nec aegisthus L .) (45 c $, as macfarlanei $). The cell- 
spots of the forewing large, commonly united together in pairs, especially often the two discal posterior 
cell-spots are confluent; the proximal costal part of the hand of the hindwing narrow, sometimes 
separated from the band, the part of the band placed in and behind the cell narrow, especially in the $, 
beneath the band does not extend beyond the cell, which in the $ is often the case above also; the discal 
and submarginal spots of the hindwing above small, sometimes only 2 or 3 small discal spots are present, 
moreover the streak- or hook-spot placed between cell and subcostal is always separated from the band at least by 
the narrowly black veins. Southern Moluccas: Amboina, Ceram, Buru. Originally described from a specimen 
macfarlanei. without locality which had become yellowish through discoloration (probably after death).— macfarlanei Btlr. 
(45 c). The cell-spots of the forewing mealier than in cestius, the band of the hindwing broader and longer, 
beneath extending beyond the cell, the narrow part of the band placed behind the cell above in the $ 
separated from the large cell-patch at most by a very narrow black vein-streak. Northern Moluccas, 
seminigra. Waigeu, Salawatti, Misol, Aru, Jobi, New Guinea (in the Dutch, German and British parts). — seminigra
