PAPILIONIN.^. 247 



0/ $. Fore-wing : disco-cellular streak and all the spots (except the 

 largest discal one) pure white, larger than on upper side, their edges 

 being diffused ; costa narrowly edged with ochreous-brown. ITind- 

 xving : inner edge of pale oclireous-yellow-band ill-defined, the basal 

 dark-brown or ochreous-brown being diffused, — outer edge rather 

 nearer middle, so that the band is narrower than on upper side ; three 

 streaks in cell as in $ ; inter-nervular streaks usually rather faintly 

 marked ; greyish mark between second subcostal and radial nervules 

 (which in ^ answers to ordinary wider break in band of upper side) 

 almost always present (and in the white-spotted examples often con- 

 spicuous), but very faint in two specimens, and wanting in two others ; 

 submarginal spots rather larger than on upper side, all white, and 

 besides the full number of six pairs (which seems not to vary) there is 

 a smaller seventh pair close to anal angle. 



Coloration and markings of head and body like those of ^, except 

 that the thorax beneath, instead of being uniformly clothed with 

 ochreous-yellow, is black, varied with eight large whitish spots on each 

 side, interspersed with a few orange-oclireous markings ; and that the 

 abdomen is on the sides of a deeper and duller ochreous-yellow. 



$ Second Form (near Eippocoon, Fah.)} Sooty-black, 'with all the 

 marJcmgs 2ncre-ivhite, and the chief ones in both wings greatly enlarged. 

 Fore-wing : disco-cellular oblique streak and subapical spot as in 

 ordinary %, — the spot sometimes wanting ; instead of the small widely- 

 separated second and third spots of discal row, a broad oblique con- 

 tinuous subapical bar, with which superiorly the first spot of discal 

 row is sometimes incorporated ; instead of the isolated fourth spot a 

 broad patch occupying nearly all inner margin, not entering discoidal 

 cell, but rounded superiorly and rising as far as second median nervule. 

 Hind-wing : band so much widened as to constitute a very large central 

 patch occupying all the area except some very narrow basal black and 

 a broad hind-marginal black border; externally the white patch is 

 deeply pierced by black nervules and also (less conspicuously) by 

 inter-nervular blackish rays ; the remainder of the inter-nervular rays 

 so marked on the under side indistinctly visible. Under side. — Bor- 

 ders of wings sometimes of the same ochreous-brown as in ordinary $, 

 hut usually jJcder, and always narroiuer owing to the broad white mark- 

 ings. Hind-wing : basal brown always very much narrower, and often 

 almost obsolete, — the white extending almost to base itself; exter- 

 nally the M'hite does not extend quite so far as on upper side, except 

 between second subcostal and radial nervules, where it is prolonged 

 into the scarcely distinguishable very pale-greyish mark ; neuration 

 beyond middle black or blackish ; inter-nervular rays and streaks vary- 

 in2 from ochreous-brown to black. 



Coloration and markings of head and body as in ordinary $, except 

 that the abdomen has the sides much paler and is almost white beneath.
