198 SOUTH- AFEIC AX BUTTERFLIES. 



very slightly) produced inferiorly ; never tailed. Black, with greenish 

 or wliite discal and siibinarginal series of spots, and basal patch in 

 hind-wings, and often in fore-wings also. 



(Four species : P. Zeonidas, Fab., F. Brasidas, Feld., P. Corinncus, 

 BertoL, P. Morania, Angas.) 



Group 3. — P. Dcmohus, Linn., representative. Sexes alike. Head 

 smaller, not tufted frontally ; antennte longer, with a gradually-formed, 

 usually slender club. Fore-wings intermediate in form between that 

 of Group I and that of Group 2, rather rounded apically, but not (or 

 slightly) concave hind-marginally. Hind-wings a good deal prolonged 

 inferiorly, bearing on third median nervule either a more prominent 

 dentation or a broad (in P. oplbidiccphcdas also long) yellow-marked 

 spatulate tail. Black with a common discal stripe (macular in fore- 

 wings), and submarginal series of spots pale-yellow ; hind-wings usually 

 with a blue, black, and red ocellus at apex and anal angle ; fore- wings 

 beneath with several longitudinal very pale yellow streaks diverging 

 from base. 



(Three species : P. DcmoUus, Linn., P. op]Lidicc])lialns, Oberthiir, P. 

 Constantinus, Ward.) 



Group 4. — P. Lyccus, Doubl., representative. Sexes alike. Struc- 

 turally close to Group 3, but fore-wings more pointed, and hind-wings 

 with a broad blunt production inferiorly, bearing on tliird median 

 nervule either a very prominent dentation or a short spatulate tail. 

 Black with a common discal band and submarginal spots of submetallic 

 greenish-blue or bluish-green. 



(One species : P. Lyccus, Doubl.) 



Group 5. — P. Cenca, Stoll, representative. Sexes extremely dif- 

 ferent. Structurally very near Group 3 ; hind-wings without inferior 

 blunt prolongation inferiorly of Group 4.; in ^ bearing on third median 

 nervule a long, somewhat spatulate broad tail ; in $ tailless. $ very 

 pale sulphur-yellow, with a black border in fore-wings and a black 

 discal band (usually more or less broken) in hind-wings ; $ black, 

 with ochre-yellow, ochre-red, or white discal and basal spots or 

 patches, and small white submarginal spots, mimicking three species 

 of Danaince. 



(One species : P. Cc-nca, Stoll.) 



Group 6. — P. Ewphranor, Trim., representative. Sexes alike, or 

 not much unlike. Structurally near Group 4, but in colouring and 

 in outline of hind-wings more like Group 3. Fore- wings bluntly sub- 

 falcate ; hind-wings not produced as in Group 4, but bearing at end of 

 third median nervule a rather short, more or less broadly-spatulate tail. 

 Black, with a common discal stripe (macular in fure-wings) and a 

 series of submarginal spots, sulphur-yellow (in Eupkranor $ this series
