113. Papilio Bathycles, Zinken.
P. Bathycles, Zink. Beitr. Ins. Java, p. 157, tab. 14. f. 6, 7; Boisd. Sp. Gén. Lép. p. 232.
Hab. Java, Borneo, Malacca (Wall.).
Remark.—The Indian form generally confounded with this I consider to be a very distinct species, for which I propose the name of P. Chiron, and add a description below[[15]].
[15]. Papilio Chiron, n. s.
P. Bathycles (partly), Brit. Mus. List of Papilionidæ.
Very near P. Bathycles, Zinken. Fore wings rather broader at the tip; hind wings considerably less elongate posteriorly.
Above:—fore wings have the three larger green spots separated by broad black spaces, the first produced towards the base of the wing, the second notched above; the fourth spot in the cell much more linear. Hind wings have the green markings more elongate and narrower, and an additional narrow mark at the abdominal margin.
Beneath, the spots all separated by broad black lines; the abdominal stripe, which is quite wanting in P. Bathycles, larger than above; an ochre-yellow spot on the hind wings, near the base of the inner margin (absent in P. Bathycles); the submarginal pale spots larger, and the row of reddish-ochre spots less developed. Expanse of wings 3⅓ inches.
Hab. Assam, Sylhet.
