DESCRIPTIONS OF SIXTEEN NEW BUTTERFLIES FROM KINA BALU. 
By H. GROSE SMITH. 
[From the ‘Annals and Magazine of Natural History.’] 
1. PAPILIO ACHERON. 
Male. — Upperside. Both wings bluish black, slightly suffused with purple ; margins between the 
nervures narrowly white ; the posterior wings slightly irrorated with grey in the anal area. 
Underside. Both wings with markings as in my P. forbesi, except that the grey rays between the 
nervules on the anterior wings are less marked, the ochraceous band on the posterior wings does not 
extend beyond the upper median nervule, and the three blue spots near the exterior margin between the 
costal nervure and the discoidal nervule are less distinct; the white spots on the margins between the 
nervules are much narrower. 
Expanse of wings 4 inches. 
Nearest to P. forbesi. 
2. Papilio stratiotes. 
Male .— Upperside. White, tinged at the base with pale greenish yellow. Anterior wings with the 
costal margin and cell crossed by four black fasciae ; the basal fascia narrow, the second, third, and fourth 
wedge-shaped, the fourth extending beyond the discocellular nervules; beyond the fourth fascia is a 
semitransparent space divided by the discoidal nervules, which are black; apex broadly black, centred 
with another transparent space, divided by the black nervules. Posterior wings with exterior margins 
narrowly black and three black lunate spots near the anal angle ; anal area grey, a long bright, quadran¬ 
gular, carmine spot at the anal angle, bordered on the upperside with black and on the inside on the 
inner margin with a white linear spot. Tails narrow and black, with white margins. 
Underside. Anterior wings as above, tinged at the base with yellowish brown. Posterior wings 
ochraceous, crossed at the middle and near the base by two black bands, slightly convergent towards the 
anal angle and extending as far as the greyish-black space above the anal carmine spot ; the exterior 
margin and anal area broadly black, irrorated towards the anal angle with grey, the carmine spot as 
above, the discocellular and median nervules black ; two small black spots below the former. 
Expanse of wings 3f inches. 
This insect appears to be intermediate between P. antiphates, Cramer, and P. agetes, Westwood ; in 
shape and markings of the upperside it approaches P. agetes , on the underside it bears a superficial 
resemblance to P. antiphates. 
3. Papilio procles. 
Near to P. bathycles, Zink., but differs from it in the following respects :—Anterior wings : upper- 
side, four spots only in the cell, the second and third being almost obsolete ; the three lowest spots of the 
discal row of spots confluent and broader than in P. bathycles. On the posterior wings the three discal 
spots are larger and confluent, instead of being distinct, and the wings are more deeply emarginate. On 
the underside of posterior wings the large silvery patch is not traversed near the centre by a concave 
brown fascia, as in P. bathycles, but in lieu of it there is a short, narrow, brown fascia from the costa 
nearly as far as the subcostal nervure, almost divided on the costal nervure by a small orange-red spot, 
and there is a small triangular silvery spot next the cell between the upper and second discocellular 
nervules. The dark brown area in which the series of orange-red spots towards the anal angle is situated 
is broader than in P. bathycles, and the submarginal row of spots is further from the margin. 
Expanse of wings 2J inches. 
4. Papilio macaristus. 
Near to P. macareus, Godart, but differs from it in the following respects Anterior wings : upper- 
side, in place of the double row of three spots and three short bars in the space between the end of the
