On the phenomena of variation and geographical distribution as illustrated by the Papilionidæ of the Malayan region

by Alfred Russel Wallace

Hab. Sumatra, Borneo, Lombock, Java (Wall.), Philippine Islands.

Remarks.—The Philippine form (P. Kotzebuea, Eschsch.) is rather larger and of a more uniform glossy black than those from other localities. P. Theseus, Cram., has been erroneously supposed to be the female of this species, whereas it is the female of one of the Pammon group, belonging to a different section of the genus. De Haan figures P. Theseus as P. Antiphus ♀, in Verh. Nat. Gesch. t. 8. f. 2. As has been already pointed out, P. Theseus mimics this species.

28. Papilio Polyphontes, Boisduval.

P. Polyphontes, Bd. Sp. Gén. Lép. p. 268. P. Hegemon, G. R. G., List of Papilionidæ in B. Mus.

Hab. Celebes, Batchian, Morty Isl. (♂, ♀) (Wall.).

Remarks.—The markings vary from pure white to a smoky tint; but otherwise all the specimens from the above localities agree. De Haan gives (Verh. Nat. Gesch. t. 8. f. 4) a female of one of the Pammon group as P. Polyphontes ♀.

29. Papilio Annæ, Felder.
