It may perhaps be not altogether foreign to the purpose of this list to
say that in the collection of the British Museum there are two specimens
of this species from the North-west coast of New Holland, where they were
collected by the late Mr. Allan Cunningham. The whole of his collection
was bought by Mr. Children, and many of the rare Lepidoptera in it were
named by Mr. G.R. Gray. Godart's description of the body agrees exactly
with the male in the national collection, les cotes et le bout de
l'abdomen d'un rouge-carmin tendre. Boisduval, in the standard work above
alluded to, says of this species, dessous et extremite de l'abdomen d'un
rouge carmin. FEMELLE SEMBLABLE AU MALE, sur quatre individus que nous
possedons, AUCUN NE VARIE. In one of the Museum specimens (a female) the
abdomen is nearly entirely black, and the brown in both specimens is of
the same rich deep shade that is found in the Papilio polydorus. The
abdomen may possibly be that of some other species, as the specimen is
not in very good condition. I regard the specimens from the north-west
coast of New Holland as a slight local variety. Godart's specimens came
from the East Indies and Boisduval's from Timor. I find that Monsieur W.
de Haan, in the splendid work published at Leyden on the Natural History
of the Dutch colonies in the East and West Indies, etc. has described and
figured "the female" of this species with the following note; his
specimens were from Timor-Kupang. On the lower side of both wings there
is a carmine anal spot placed at the end of the yellow band and gradually
running into it, this spot is larger and more deeply coloured in the male
than in the female; in the former it shows itself on the upper side,
along the inner edge, as a small streak which is not visible in the
latter (l.c. page 40). I may add that his figure of the abdomen is red,
and the specimens are larger than those in the Museum (Bijdragen tot de
Kennis der Papilionidea, in the Verhandel. over de Natuurl. Geschied etc.
