$. Above. Porewiiig white lightly dusted brown; base, eosta, leriuen, dorsum and veins, heavily 
dusted broAvn. liiiidwing broAvn-black: a large central area, reaching base and dorsum, white: lornal 
and subterminal spots ill-defined and orange-yellow: traces of an incomplete series of faint discal spots 
dusted blue. 
Beneath. PoreAving as aboA'e but paler: base and dorsum toAvards base, broA\'n-black. HimlAviiit» 
as aboA'e: tornal and subterminal spots more clearly defined.

This is the Avliite form of ormemis, corresponding Avith the Avhite form heatrix of aegeiiSj but at once 
separated by the absence of the Avhite bar of lundAving beneath. Like that form it is A^ery variable: do 
tAvo examples of either amanga or onesimus are exactly identical; tlie foreAving above varies from an 
almost uniform grey-broAvn to a dull Avliite. Many intergrades between amanga and onesimus occur: the 
abdomen aboA^e is yelloAvish in both forms. 
SECTIOISr B. PoreAving Avith vein 11 free: hindAving Avith a spatulate tail (except in leosthenes) to 
A^ein 4: subcostal betAveen base of vein 6 and vein 7 (excejot in leosthenes) straight. Males without 
secondary sexual characters (except in ulysses). Pupa Avitli a bifid Iiead (less marked in leosthenes). 
229. Papilio ulysses Linne. (S. ]\Ioluceas). 
This species ranges from tiie jMoluccas to the Solomon Islands, with a A'ery small subspecies (mont- 
rouzieri) cccurring in Ncav Caledonia and the Loyalty Is.

intensely black: a broad basal area, reaching eosta and dorsum and Avell beyond end of cell, brilliant 
metallic blue. PoreAving Avith a series of long lenticular silky black sexmarks, broadly on veins la to 
5, and narroAvly on vein 6. 
Beneath. PoreAving dark broAvn: outer area paler, and except along termen dusted white: a small 
area at end of cell, dusted Avhite. IlindAving dark broAvn : sublerminal area jialer: a transverse central 
section from costa to dorsum, dusted sil\*ery white: a tornal spot, orangc-hroAA’n : a series of six 
elongate subferminal rings, broadly black, narroAvly edged blue and toAvards base edged Avliitish. 
9. Aboa^u:. PoreAving as in male; outer margins of blue area less sharply defined, but reaching further 
along dorsum: sexmarks absent. IliiidAving as in male; usually a siibtenninal series of W<mlar 
spots, dusted blue. ^
