So far no representative of this species has been found beyond Australia. By the very short 
antennae and straight tail, it is allied to but by the pupa and the free vein 11 of forewino*. 
it is allied to the species of Section A and Section B. The two specimens from Cape York (one of 
(hem bred from the pupa) have both been taken quite reeentty: the single exami-jle captured in 
Sydney "was probabh^ a wanderer from farther north. 
SECTION C. PoreAving Avith A^ein 11 anastomosed Avith A^ein 12. IlindAving AA’itli a tail (one 
species spatidato and one species straight) to A^ein 4: subcostal betAA^een base of A’ein 6 and A’ein 7, lon^ 
and bent inAvards. Males Avith secondary sexual characters upon the hindAving, consisting of a eottonv 
patch of scales and a fringe of long AAdiitish hairs hidden Avilhin the abdominal fold. Pupa Avith a horn 
extending ouhvard from the head. 
232. Papilio aristeus Cramer. (Amboina). 
This species ranges from India and Cejdon to the Bismarck Archipelago (paron).

narroAving to tonius, A\lth a A*ery narroAV subterminal hand, AA’hite. IlindAving Avhite: a narrow baud

The antennae, like those of leosilienes, are remarkably short. We have an interesting aberration 
in AA’liieh llie dark bands of forewing are much reduced in lengtli and the ])asal band only is present 
on Ihndwing: this gh^es the specimen a A'ery AAdiite appearance, as compared Avith normal examples.

o’. Above. Porewing black: a basal area, reaching <lorsain and almost reaching costa, pale green: 
a spot in end of cell, a large subcostal spot at three fourths, and a small spot in base of area 4, green: 
a senes of small .subterminal spots, pale green. IlindAA’ing black: a l)asal area reacdiiiig costa and 
dorsum, pale green: traces of a series of small faint subterminal spots, pale green. 
Beneath. PoreAving as above: apex and termen brown: subterminal spots larger and obscurely 
edged silvery Avhite. Hindwing rich broAvn: basal area green outAvurdly edged silvery Avliite: termen 
dusted sih'ery Avith subterminal spots obscure.

This species^has a Avider range in Australia tlinn any oilier of Ihe family, and is llie only one taken 
as fai south as lasmania. It is not found beyond Australia, and its only near allA^ is the handsome 
jmiplisli 7. wehlcei from tlie highlands ot Ncav Guinea. Northern examjAles are slightly jiaier in 
eoloiu and usually rather larger than (hose taken iii the soutli, but otherwise Ave can find no points of 
dmsion into geographical races. The larvae feed upon Geijera so//c//o//o (Sassafras) and Camphora 
otjicinahs (Camphor laurel), and bred specimens, as Avitli others of this family, are a much paler green.
