"This species belon^-s to the il/e;H;(o« group, in which, however, there is nothing which

Described from two male specimens, almost identical in colom- and markings. It is, perhaps, 

 most nearly allied to Papilio Lampsacus, Boisd. The red spot at the base of the hind wings is 

 not completely divided by the curved black stripe which runs up along the precostal nervure.
