The variety with the white liinder angles of the forewings is very remarkable, as it 

 bears a striking resemblance to P. memnon afjenor ?-ab. hutleriamis ni.

 in a genus by itself in future.

Tliis curious Papilio is distinguished from all the other species by the tail being 

 traversed by the upper and middle median veins. The second discocellular veinlet 

 of the forewings is bent inwards in a similar way as in P. evan Doubl. The male 

 varies in the disc of the hindwings being greyish like the forewings, or more white ; 

 two of my three taales have some feeble spots compo.sed of bluish grey scales between 

 the median nervules of the hindwings. The tails of tlie female are rather more 

 rounded than in the male.

Two geograi)hical races of this Paiiilio are known to me : — 



("): P. bootes Westw., forma typ. [<?, ¥J. 



The hindwings of the male have above usually two white discal patches; some 

 examples have a third, smaller spot behind the second median nervule, mostly shaded 

 with red. Besides the anal double mark there are from one to three submarginal 

 hmules on the upperside of the hindwings. 



'Y\\e female is paler than the male, larger ; tlie hindwings liave four discal spots, 

 of which the first and fourth are the smallest. 



The double spot in the dilated apical part of the tail is often much sluaded witli 

 black.
