Description

Similar to Papilio iswara , but the 2. segment of the palpus black, the white area of the hindwing smaller, in two of the three sataspes-forms very much reduced above and entirely or almost entirely absent beneath; the submarginal spots of the hindwing yellow, the 5. rarely indicated, commonly also the 3. and 4. suppressed.Celebes, Bangkai and Sulla Islands, not rare in the hills. — sataspes Fldr. (22 a) is distributed over the whole of Celebes. The white area of the hindwing above and beneath consists of 3 large patches, to which in the female is added a 4. spot, which is especially distinct beneath. — artaphernes Honr. The very much reduced white area of the hindwing only extends above to the 2. radial and is almost suppressed beneath. Bangkai; not known to me in nature. — ahasverus Stgr. (22 a), which is perhaps identical with the preceding, flies on the Sulla Islands, where the male is not rare; the area of the hindwing even smaller than in artaphernes, never reaching the 2. radial, beneath only the 2. spot indicated by a very thin line. In the female the area of the hindwing above is still narrower than in the and beneath there are 2 thin lunules in its place. Only known to me from Sulla-Mangoli.Karl Jordan in Seitz. [2]
