The chief object in preparing the present Catalogue has been to give at one view a complete list of all the species of the Lepidopterous Insects of the family Papi- lionidse now in the British Museum Collection, and a reference to those species known to exist in other collections, but which are at present desiderata in the Museum Collection, to enable travellers, collectors and others to assist in completing the national collection. An indication of the separate locality of each species is given, and in most cases the sex is also noticed. Great care has been taken to adapt the generic and specific names first used to the genera or species, and a reference has been made to the works in which the species have been described and figured. In those cases where the two sexes of the same species, or any particular individual state or variety belonging to it, have been differently named, the name or figure ex- clusively appertaining to the state or individual is placed after the indication of the specimen to which it applies. Mr. George Robert Gray has taken great care in the determination of the species, the verification of the synonyms, in arranging them in accordance with the present state of the science, and in describing the species and varieties which appear not to have been previously recorded. Pigures of the new species and varieties contained in the Museum Collection have been appended, from drawings on stone by Miss Elizabeth and Mr. William Wing, and coloured by Mr. Standish.

Priamus, both in colour and markings, except that the irregular rich green band, which commences at the base and runs along the inner margin and then the outer margin towards the anterior angle, extends to a little beyond the first median nervule ; while in all the other species it reaches the fifth subcostal nervule. Secondary wings are also similar ; but the round black spots are four and sometimes five in number, com- mencing in the space between the costal nervure and the first subcostal nervule, but the first and second are without the small golden spot which is found in P. Priamus. The under surface of the primary wings is like that of P. Priamus in the form of the markings, but it exhibits a bluish tinge, and the spots between the nervules are more distinctly separated into two parts in each space by a broader band of black, that runs from the fifth subcostal to the first discoidal nervules. The under surface of the secondary wings is also like that of P. Priamus in general appearance ; but the greater part of the surface is of a bluish green ; the base and around the nervure inwardly of the discoidal cell, black ; the spot between the costal nervure and the first subcostal nervule is of an irregular form and of a king- yellow : this colour extends around the outer margin between the black spots and the margin ; the space between the third median nervule and the submedian nervure is mostly bluish green, but posteriorly yellow, with the base and a spot near the outer margin black ; the inner margin brown. Female. PI. II. f. 2. — Primary wings similar in markings to those of the female of P. Priamus , but they are less in size and are covered by numerous minute black scales, which give them an obscure appearance. Secondary wings are also similar, except that the large spots, which are of the same tear-shaped form, between the nervules along the outer margin touch the nervule on each side ; and the four between the second subcostal and the third median nervules are similar to one another in having a black sublunate spot in the middle of each, which is sometimes connected to the outer margin ; the two spaces between the costal nervure and the second subcostal nervule are marked with two irregular spots each, the one nearest the margin being ochraceous ; the anal angle has a subquadrate spot of ochre colour. The under surface of all the wings is similar in markings to the upper side, but the white colour is not so obscured by minute black specks ; each large tear-shaped spot on the secondary wings has the outer portion yellow ; the spot between the first and second subcostal nervules and the one at the anal angle partake more of the tear-shape than those of the upper side, and it contains a brown spot, somewhat like the others in form.

Priamus, but is rather smaller, and the primary wings (beside the prominent bands of rich green) have the outer side of the median nervure and more or less of the base of the median nervules ornamented with the same rich green. Secondary wings have the outer margin much narrower than in P. Priamus, but with three rounded black spots, one on each space between the costal nervure and the discoidal nervule ; the spot that is situated between the second subcostal and discoidal nervules is sometimes very small ; beneath each of these spots is, in some specimens, a small golden spot. The under surface of the primary wings is marked very similarly to that of P. Priamus, but the golden green partakes of a bluish tinge throughout its surface. The under surface of the secondary wings is also similarly marked, but the general surface is bluish, with the marginal portion golden green ; the golden spot above the black spot between the costal nervure and the first subcostal nervule is of a more lengthened form, though it is sometimes very small ; the golden spot below the second, third and fourth black spot is not so 09 PAPILIONIDiE. 3 prominently marked as in P. Priamus ; the outer hlack margin is very narrow, and the anal angle is huffy yellow with a black heart-shaped spot, while in P. Priamus this space is black with a small huffy yellow mark. Female. PI. I. f. 2. — This sex agrees better with the figure given in the ‘ Voyage de 1’ Astrolabe,’ t. 4, than with any figure that represents the female of P. Priamus ; but it differs from it by the marking in the discoidal cell of the primary wings being more diffused towards the disco-cellular nervules ; the other white markings are similar in position and form, but in some cases they are rather larger. The secondary wings are also like the above-mentioned figure ; the four large huffy white spots between the nervules retain somewhat of the tear- shaped form, especially the two that occupy the two spaces between the second subcostal and the first median nervules ; but none of the spots advance to the disco-cellular nervules, nor to the median nervure, nor is there any white spot within the discoidal cell as is represented in that figure, though they possess the black spot in the middle of each ; the anal angle is buffy white, showing the black spot that exists on the under surface ; and at the anterior angle there are two buffy white spots. The under surface of the primary wings is like the upper ; but the mark in the discoidal cell is not so diffused. The under surface of the secondary wings is also like the upper side ; but the two spots at the anterior angle and the outer portion of the space between the nervules are of a rich yellow ; and the space at the anal angle is equally as prominent as the others. In Collection (Brit. Mus.) from Cape York, Northern Australia. Males and Female. The female given by Mr. Westwood as that of P. Poseidon must be considered the same as the one above- described ; but it differs from the specimen contained in the collection that was brought with the males in several particulars, viz. the marking in the discoidal cell of the primary wings is not diffused towards the disco- cellular nervules ; and there is only a single spot between the second discoidal and the first median nervules ; the two spots between the third median nervule and the submedian nervure are much less in size. The secondary wings have the white spots between the nervules more of a tear-shape, and the black spot in the middle of each is rather larger and of a more decided black ; there is not any ochraceous spot represented between the costal and the first subcostal nervule ; the black spot at the anal angle is placed at the inner part of the white. It should also be observed that this figure is eight inches across from tip to tip of the primary wings, and therefore three-quarters of an inch larger than the specimen represented on PL I. f. 2. 4.

This species agrees in many particulars with the female of P. Pronomus, but the white of the secondary wings reaches to the disco-cellular nervules and a portion of the median nervure, and it also occupies a small space within the discoidal cell, while the black spots between the nervules are of a larger size. Examples of the male from Celebes are at present unknown, which is much to be regretted, as an examina- tion of that sex would greatly assist in defining whether it ought to be considered a distinct species or not. It is however placed as distinct, on account of the characters pointed out in the above short notice. 5. Papilio Poseidon. Ornithoptera Poseidon, E. Boubl. Ann. Nat. Hist. xvi. p. 173. Id. Gen. of B. Lep. p. 4. 3. Ornithopterus Poseidon, Westw. Cab. Or. Ent. pi. 1 1 $ . This species differs from P. Pronomus by the rich green colour narrowly extending along both sides of the median nervure, and partly or entirely along the course of the nervules of the primary wings towards the outer margin ; and there is not any black spot in the buffy yellow space at the anal angle beneath the secondary wings. The markings beneath the primary wings, and almost the entire surface beneath the secondary wings, are of a b 2 4 LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS. yellowish green, with some golden yellow between the row of black spots and the outer margin ; the latter is bordered very narrowly with black. It is to be regretted that the female of this species has not yet been recorded from Darnley Island ; there cannot be much doubt that it would exhibit some marked differences from that sex of the other species, as is the case with the male. In Collection (Brit. Mus.) from Darnley Island, North of Australia. Male. Mr. Westwood has, in his ‘ Cabinet of Oriental Entomology,’ drawn attention to a description of P. Priamus, which, as he observes, seems to approach P. Poseidon ; it is given by Dr. De Haan, in his fine work on the Insects of the Dutch Settlements, as from New Guinea. “ Smaller (thanP. Priamus). Expansion of wings six inches. Anterior wings : brown spot under the median vein longer, beginning at the fourth branch ; median vein bordered writh green. The posterior wings have no black spots on the green patch. Underneath the anterior wings have the discoidal cell marked with a green spot, extending half its length ; and the green spots between the veins are separated from each other by a broader black band ; the anal angle of the posterior wings is yellow', with a small black spot ; the patch in the middle is yellowish green ; the golden yellow marginal spots between the first veins are wanting ; the six black spots are smaller.” 6. Papilio Euphorion. Ornithoptera Priamus ?, E. Doubl. List of Lepid. Ins. Brit. Mus. i. p. 1. Papilio (Ornithoptera) Euphorion, G. II. Gr. Female. PI. II. f. 3. — In size and general appearance it approaches very near the female of P. Priamus ; but the band in the discoidal cell of the primary wings contains a small spot, which is also the case with the white streak between the fourth and fifth subcostal nervules ; and the one between the fifth subcostal and discoidal nervules is divided into two unequal parts ; the spots near the median nervure, between the first, second and third median nervules, are smaller. The tear-sliaped spots on the secondary wings are of a less size and more distinctly formed, while the dark fuscous spot in the middle of each is much larger than those of any other species known ; the spot in each space between the costal nervure and the second subcostal nervule is ochra- ceous ; as is also the space at the anal angle. The white spots of the upper surface are all speckled with minute black specks, and so is the ochraceous spot between the first and second subcostal nervule. The markings on the under surface of all the wings are similar to those on the upper side, both in shape and colour. Several specimens of this butterfly were brought from the interior of the northern portions of Australia by the late Allan Cunningham, and they were all of the same sex. In Collection (Brit.

Note. — Mr. Hewitson possesses a specimen of a male insect which is supposed to be a variety of this species, having the oblique band of the four wings distinctly marked, hut of the same black colour as the other parts of the wings ; otherwise they are similar in their markings and general colour. It is marked as from Minas Geraes. 205. Papilio Mezentius. Papilio Mezentius, E. Doubl. Ann. of Nat. Hist. xiv. (1844) p. 417. Id. Gen. of D. Lep. Pap. p. 17. no. 181. PI.

Posterior wings black, sprinkled beyond the middle with a few bluish scales, deeply dentate ; the third tooth from the anal angle prolonged into a long spatulate tail, marked, in addition to the white fascia, with three somewhat rose-coloured spots placed transversely between the abdominal margin and the termination of the macular band, which is here slightly tinted with rose-colour. Beyond these are three lunules of the same colour, one above the anal angle, the others close to the margin, between the first, second and third branches of the median nervure, succeeded by two sigmoid red spots, and near the anal angle by a whitish one. Anal angle itself red. Cilia white, except at the extremity of the dentations. “ Below paler than above, and in addition to the markings of the upper surface there is a narrow white line near the outer margin of the anterior wings, extending from the fourth branch of the median nervure to the anal PAPILIONIDAL 41 angle, and on the posterior wings an indistinct macular flexuous white band preceding the marginal series of lunules and spots. “ Head black ; palpi yellow ; thorax black, spotted below with yellowish ; abdomen fuscous, with a yellowish lateral line. “ From the west coast of America (probably of New Granada or the Ecuador). Closely allied to P. Hec- torides, but may be easily known from it, as the macular white band begins nearer the apex of the anterior wings, crosses the wing at some distance beyond the discoidal cell, and is continued nearly in a direct line to the disc of the posterior wings, only a slight portion being within the discoidal cell.” — Ann.

VIII. f. 1. — The primary wings deep bluish black, having narrow white lunes on the outer margin between the nervules, with a somewhat zigzag line of huffy white at the fore part of the discoidal cell, which is more or less bordered in the inner side with greenish grey scales ; a small buffy white somewhat oval spot at the base between the second discoidal and the first median nervules ; while between the base of the first and second median nervules is a subquadrate spot of greenish grey, having a small buffy white spot at the outer angle, and there is a narrow line of greenish grey scales below the second median nervule. The secondary wings bluish black, having the margins between the dentations white ; a transverse curved hand of deep opalescent scarlet crosses the middle of the wing, divided into six spots by the nervules, and it touches the discoidal nervure at the base of the first median nervule ; the first spot near the anal angle is very small and linear, the next three are nearly equal and the largest ; the fifth is small and subquadrate, and the sixth is distinct from the others, and is much smaller and subrounded. The inner margin is very large and folded, enclosing a quantity of silvery white down. The under surface of the primary wings brownish black, with a macular band across at the fore part of the discoidal cell, composed of four unequal spots ; the first is a long triangle of bluish white ; the second is placed within the discoidal cell, partly of bluish white and buffy white ; the third is at the base of the discoidal and PAPILI0NID7E. 45 first median nervules, partly bluish white and huffy white ; while the fourth is below the first median nervule, and is very small and of a buflfy white. The under surface of the secondary wings brownish black, with a trans- verse curved band, which is divided into six spots by the nervules, of a pinkish white bordered with darker on the margins ; the first spot at the anal angle is large and subtriangular ; the other spots are similar to those on the upper side, but they are not so broad, and thereby do not reach to the nervure of the discoidal cell.

It is by comparison with Jones’s figure (?) that this species has been named P. Ipliidamas. Though it is necessary to say, that the figure differs in some respects from the specimens, yet it is so slight that it is thought best to adopt the Fabrician name rather than give a new one ; as the specimens themselves do not exactly agree in the size of the white space on the primary wings, which is rather larger in Jones’s figure than in any of the specimens in the Museum. 226. Papilio Panares. Papilio Panares, G. R. Gr. Female. PI. X. f. 4. — The primary wings bronzy black, having seven very minute huffy white limes on the outer margin, with a band of buffy white, divided into four unequal spots ; the first is placed at the base of the first aud second subcostal nervules ; the second is large and occupies the fore part of the discoidal cell, but not touching the disco-cellular nervules ; the two next are divided by the base of the first median nervule. The secondary wings bronzy black, with margins between the dentations bully white ; a transverse curved band of car- mine extends from the anal angle towards the first subcostal nervule, and is divided by the nervules into six un- equal spots ; the first at the anal angle large and subquadrate ; the second, third and fourth are the largest and are of an oblong form ; the fifth is much smaller, and the sixth is very small and rounded ; these last three are more distinctly separated by the black nervules from one another than is the case with the others. The under surface of the primary wings is very similar to the upper side, but the band is more decidedly white. The under surface of the secondary wings is brownish black, having the same formed band as on the upper side ; but the spots are more distinctly separated, and of a pinkish white margined with some carmine scales, while the spot at the anal angle is smaller and less quadrate.

Areas in general appearance, but the spot in the discoidal cell of the primary wings does not occupy so large a space, and is of a somewhat triangular form ; the outer margin has nine minute limes of white scales between the nervules. The transverse band of the secondary wings extends less towards the base of the wings, and thereby it is not quite so wide as in P. Areas, and it appears to be of a lighter colour, being pale scarlet with the anterior part and inner margin yellow, which colour is also prominent on the disco-cellular, the base of the discoidal, and the three median nervules. In these differences it agrees best with P. Arriphus, Boisd., but this last-mentioned species has the band rather narrower, though the discoidal cell is occupied by a larger quantity of the yellowish scarlet colour ; and it is easily distinguished both from P. Areas and the female above noticed, by the dentations of the secondary wings being more obtuse, and the margin between the dentations being bordered with crimson, and also by the outer margin of the primary wings being ornamented with four very minute spots of crimson scales.
