wings , on the under side of the wings are some red spots. 

 This genus is represented by Fapilio pylades, Fabricius, and its 

 allies. 



[xxxi. A.] Includes another African Butterfly, Fapilio 

 leonidas^ Fabricius, with less strongly dentated hind-wings. 

 The wings are black, with large green spots on the fore-wings, 

 and the middle of the hind-wings green, followed by one or 

 two rows of sub-marginal spots. It has some resemblance to 

 the genus Tiriunala among the Danaincc. 



[xxxi. b. and XXXII. ] These include Papilio ridkyanus^ 

 White, and Dnirya antiniachus (Drury), of which we have 

 already spoken {antea^ p. 250). 



[xxxiii.] Includes Papilio idceoidcs, Gray, a rare Philippine 

 Butterfly, measuring nearly six inches in expanse. It has 

 greyish-white rounded wings, with black marginal and sub- 

 marginal spots, and larger spots towards the base. It is very 

 similar to Hestia idea (Linn.) among the DanaiiicE. 



[xxxvi.] Paranticopsis, Wood-Mason and De Niceville. The 

 type of this genus is P. 7tiaca?'eus, Godart, a Butterfly about 

 three inches in expanse, with black wings, slightly dentated, 

 but not tailed, and with longitudinal greenish-white stripes. It 

 is found in North India, Java, and Borneo, and much re- 

 sembles some of the green Danaince^ which inhabit the same 

 countries. 



[xxxvii.] Chilasa^ Moore. The type ot this genus is 

 C.panope (Linn?eus), an Indian Butterfly, measuring nearly four 

 inches across the wings, which are brown, with sub-marginal rows 

 of white spots, which are rather long towards the tip of the 

 fore wings. The hind-margin of the hind-wings is dull yellowish 

 beneath. Nearly all the Equitince which mimic Danaincc have 

 more or less dentated hind-wings; but much easier and more 

 certain tests to distinguish them are the apparently four- 

 branched median nervure on all the wings, and the fully
