tribution of colours, though the colours themselves are very 

 different ; and unlike Chants^ the species are restricted to the 

 Indo-Malayan Region, being particularly numerous in India 

 and Java. The commonest and most anciently known species 

 is A. parts (Linn.), v/hich is found in India and China, and 

 measures. about four inches across the wings, which are shaped 

 nearly as in Harimala, but the fore-wings are longer, with the 

 costa more strongly arched, the tips more produced, and the 

 hind-margin more oblique ; the hind-wings are more narrowed 

 behind than in Harimala^ but strongly dentated, and furnished 

 with a long spatulate tail. The wings are black, dusted with 

 golden-green, coalescing to form traces of a sub-marginal band 

 towards the inner-margin of the fore- wings ; the hind-wings have 

 a large bluish-green patch on the costa, extending over the 

 upper half of the wing, but not reaching to the hind-margin, 

 opposite to which they exhibit several concavities; on its lower 

 and inner edge it is connected with the inner-margin by a 

 golden-green stripe, below which is a round black eye-spot in a 

 red ring, surmounted by a blue crescent. The under side is black, 

 with a broad whitish suffused sub-marginal band, intersected by 

 the black nervures on the fore-wings. On the hind-wings, there 

 is a sub-marginal row of red lunules, bordered with blue ones; 

 the incisions are white. In the Javanese A. arjjina (Horsf.), 

 the patch on the hind-wings is of a more greenish-blue, and 

 extends in a point towards the anal angle. The larva of A. 

 arjuiia is green, with slender oblique and transverse white lines, 

 and the thoracic segment but slightly raised ; the pupa is yel- 

 lowish-green. The larva feeds on a species of Citrus.

 which forms part of the same sub-section as the last in Felder's 

 arrangement, and which most authors would not consider 

 generically distinct, is S. polydor (Boisduval), a well-known 

 North Indian species, measuring 3)^ inches across the wings,
