Barkuda, i and y-ix-ig. 



Hab. — Bengal ; the southern half of Peninsular India and 

 Ceylon. 



Remarks. — A rather scarce species on the island though fairly 

 common on the mainland a few miles away. It flies higher than 

 P. polytes romulus and usually frequents more open country. A 

 single full-grown caterpillar was taken on Barkuda in companv 

 with one of P. aristolochiae on the vSword-Bean (Canavalia ensifor- 

 mis), on the i8th August, 1919. It was of a blackish colour with 

 rather paler processes along each side of the abdomen Along the 

 anterior half of the body there were a few pale yellow isolated 

 spots of small size. This larva pupated on the 20th of the same 

 month. 



The chrj'salis was fastened at the tip of the abdomen to the 

 side of the breeding cage, by a number of radiating, strong, black 

 silk threads and supported further by a couple of strings, each 

 double, of similar silk, one extending from the suture between the 

 first and second abdominal sutures to the support, the other from 

 the middle of the ventral surface of the thorax. It was 25 mm. 

 long and 15 mm. wide. The sculpture and colouration was elabor- 

 ate. The head was produced in front into a broad, flattened
