P. Glaucippe is an elegant insect : very common in China, and it is said, in some 

 adjacent parts of Asia, also Bengal, Java, &c. The Papilio Cullirrhoe of Linnaeus is 

 considered as the female of this species : few authors deem it more than a variety ()3). 

 Dr. Horsfield has described and figured the caterpillar and chrysalis of this species in his 

 work upon the Lepidoptera of Java above referred.
