fore pupating-, larva becomes dorsally of a very pale brown, and then 

 gradually becomes paler, till segments 6 to 13 are dorsally pink. The 

 lateral coloring and spots remain unchanged. Feeds on Laurel. 



Pupa: length i}{ inches. Wing cases projecting slightly; on head 

 two small conical projections and a smaller one on thorax. Laterally 

 ridged; pupa very slightly rough, pale green or pink; lateral ridges, 

 conical projections and a sub-dorsal line purple. To either side of 

 sub-dorsal line at segment one a large purple spot, and on following 

 segments two rows of purple dots, the outer ones almost imperceptible; 

 on leg cases a few purplish markings also. Before emerging, the mark- 

 ings on wings of Imago become distinctly visible. Pupal state lasts 

 from four to si.x weeks, and although the larva is rare, the butterfly is 

 common during the entire year. 



Papilio Helleri, Feld. — General appearance and size the same as 

 Daiinus. Head pale gray, second segment the same, with a broad 

 pale-green transverse band. Segments 3, 4 and 5 dorsally grayish 

 green; anteriorly on fourth segment a broad, gray, transverse band 

 enclosing a few black spots, and outwardly two buff ones; posteriorly 

 green, edged by a white line, interrupted by four pale blue spots; be- 

 tween this line and anterior gray band the green is thickly dotted with 

 white; laterally and posterior portion of fifth segment dorsally, gray; 

 between fifth and sixth segments is a transverse black band as in 

 Daiinus. Segments 6 to 13 dorsally green, laterally gray. The green 

 is dorsally interrupted on segments 8 to 1 1 by two large triangular 

 gray spots, having their apices sub-dorsally between ninth and tenth 

 segments. These triangles enclose each a large green spot on seg- 

 ments 9 and 10; posteriorly on segment 13 is a white transverse ridge; 

 laterally on segment 13 and underneath gray; abdominal legs gray; 

 prolegs brownish. 



Pupa: Length i^ inches, very similar to Daiimis, but shorter and 

 stouter, and the projections on head are a little less conspicuous; en- 

 tirely dark brown and mossy green, mottled. 



Double brooded, but uncommon at all times. 



Smyrna Karwinskii, Hiibn. Larva. — Length when mature two 

 inches, body rather stout and flattened dorsally. Head round, black, 

 having two long, very rough, truncate horns. Body smooth, brown, 

 with four irregular black dorsal streaks; on each segment are six small 

 spines of a dirty yellow, forming four dorsal and a lateral row; these 

 lateral spines are wanting on segments 2, 3 and 4; just above abdomi- 

 nal feet are a few stiff hairs of same color as spines. 



Pupa. — Length one inch, rather stout, slight ridge on thorax, and 

 depression at first segment. This depression is colored deep brown, 

 and there are two velvety dark brown spots on either side of thorax. 

 Dorsallv on segments are four rows of short conical protuberances,
