Family Papilionidae 



The pupae of this family are usually long and slender, tapering 

 gradually to the pointed caudal end, which is called the cremaster 

 although it seldom resembles a true cremaster, and extends very little 

 beyond the anal opening. The body always has two prominent cephalic 

 projections, one at each cephalo-lateral angle of the head, a less promi- 

 nent lateral projection on each side the metathorax at the base of each 

 wing, and a low median carinate ridge which extends along the pro- 

 thorax on to the mesothorax for about half its length, where it forms 

 a more or less prominent projection. From this prominence the ridge 

 divides, the remainder of its course being on the metathorax, the 

 divisions sometimes extending to the abdomen to form the dorso- 

 lateral abdominal ridges. There is also usually present a lateral ridge 

 on each side. These four ridges are continued to the end of the body, 

 and are often present on the tenth segment or on the cremaster when 

 absent from the remainder of the abdomen. On the ventral surface 

 there is usually a ridge on each side of the face-parts, beginning at the 

 cephalic projections and extending to the proximo-lateral angles of 

 the maxillae. 



The labruni is in its normal position and the lobes which indicate 

 the presence of pilifers seldom meet on the meson, but are separated 

 by a small portion of the labial palpi. The epicranial suture is never 

 present, and the proximal ends of the antennae approach each other 

 very closely on the dorsal surface of the head. The antennae never 

 extend as far caudad as the wings. The wings are usually somewhat 

 pointed on the ventral surface near the meson and the metathoracic 

 wing is always visible here, extending for a considerable distance 

 caudad of the mesothoracic wings. The maxillae always extend to the 

 caudal margin of the wings. The legs are of the length usual in lep- 

 idopterous pupae with the exception of the genus Iphiclides, in which 

 the prothoracic legs only are about the usual length, the mesothoracic 

 legs ending before the former — a very rare occurrence in this order. 

 The genital openings are located in the usual positions, those of the
