m. _Paradoxa_ group.
82. PAPILIO PARADOXA, Zinken.
_Zelima Paradoxa_, Zink. Beitr. Ins. Java, t. 15. f. 9, 10.
_P. Paradoxa_, Westw. Cab. Or. Ent. pl. 9. f. 1, 1*.
_Hab._ Java (_Wall._).
Local form _a_.—_P. Paradoxa_, var., Hew. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1859, p. 422,
pl. 67. f. 1 (♂), 2 (♀).
_Hab._ Borneo (_Wall._).
Local form _b_.—Smaller; intermediate in the markings between the Java
and Borneo forms; interior row of elongate marks on upper wings light
blue, not descending to the outer angle.
_Hab._ Sumatra (_Wall._).
Both sexes of this species closely resemble the corresponding sexes of
_Euplœa Midamus_, Cr., which is very common in all the above-mentioned
localities.
83. PAPILIO ÆNIGMA, n. s. Tab. VII. fig. 3 (♂).
Size, form, and markings nearly the same as in _P. Paradoxa_.
Above:—purplish black, without any gloss or silky reflexions; a
submarginal row of white spots on all the wings, more or less blue-edged
on the upper wings, sometimes partially obsolete on the lower ones; one
or two spots at the end of the cell, and a row of six or seven elongate
marks beyond it, bright blue.
Beneath, the submarginal row of white spots only.
_Female._—_P. Paradoxa_, var. A, Hewitson, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1859, p.
423, pl. 67. f. 3.
I put this as the female of the above with some hesitation, as it was
not captured in the same island. It agrees, however, in the entire
absence of gloss, and in the peculiar elongation of the outer angle of
the lower wings.
_Hab._ Malacca, Sumatra (♂); Borneo (♀) (_Wall._).
_Female variety?_—_P. Paradoxa_, var. B, Hewitson (Proc. Zool. Soc. pl.
66. f. 4), may be an extreme variation of this, but will more probably,
when the male is discovered, prove to be a distinct species.
84. PAPILIO CAUNUS, Westwood.
_P. Caunus_, Westw. Cab. Or. Ent. pl. 9. f. 2, 2*.
_Hab._ Sumatra, Borneo (♂, ♀) (_Wall._), Java (_Leyden Mus._).
_Remarks._—My specimens have less white on the lower wings than is
represented in Mr. Westwood’s figure. The female is of a brownish
colour, with the same white markings as the male, but without any blue
tinge. This species is very like _Euplœa Rhadamanthus_, one of the most
common butterflies in all the above-mentioned localities. It is
undistinguishable from that insect on the wing, though it flies very
slowly, like the species it mimics.
85. PAPILIO ASTINA, Westwood.
_P. Astina_, Westw. Cab. Or. Ent. pl. 9. f. 3.
_Hab._ Java (_Brit. Mus. ex Coll. Horsf._).
86. PAPILIO HEWITSONII, Westwood.
_P. Hewitsonii_, Westw. Proc. Ent. Soc. 1864, p. 10.
_P. Slateri_ ♀, Hew. Ex. Butt. Pap. pl. 4. f. 9; _P. Cammu_, B. M.
List of Papilionidæ (no description).
_Hab._ Borneo (♂) (_Wall._).
_Remarks._—The last two species should probably form a distinct group,
on account of the peculiar elongation of the cell of the lower wings.
They both resemble dark species of _Euplœa_. _P. Slateri_ is a quite
distinct species from North India, to which Mr. Hewitson referred the
present species as the female. All the specimens known of both species
are, however, males.
n. _Dissimilis_ group.
87. PAPILIO ECHIDNA, De Haan.
_P. Echidna_, De Haan, Verh. Nat. Gesch. p. 42, t. 8. f. 6; _Clytia
dissimilis_, Sw. Zool. Ill. 2nd ser. pl. 120; _P. dissimilis_, var.,
Brit. Mus. List of Papilionidæ.
_Hab._ Timor (♂, ♀) (_Wall._).
_Remarks._—This species has been confounded with _P. dissimilis_, from
which it is very distinct, by the absence of the yellow marginal band
beneath. It is also widely separated geographically from that species,
which inhabits the continent of India only. The sexes are alike, as they
are in _P. dissimilis_. _P. Panope_, L., which has been supposed to be
its female, is a very distinct species, of which also both sexes exist
in most collections.
88. PAPILIO PALEPHATES, Westwood.
_P. Palephates_, Westw. Arc. Ent. pl. 79. f. 1; _P. dissimilis_, var.
_b_, Brit. Mus. List of Papilionidæ.
_Hab._ Philippine Islands.
