" This beautiful genus, of whicb one species only is yet known, 

 may be distinguisbed at a glance from the others of this family, by 

 its long porrect palpi. There is little else in its structure to separate 

 it from Ornitlioptera or JPapilio, though some of its peculiarities in- 

 dicate an approach to Thais, a genus in which the palpi are more 

 developed than in any other of the Papilionidce, with the exception 

 of Teinopalpus. The posterior wings differ materially in the two 

 sexes ; in the male they are dentate, one-tailed ; in the female, three- 

 tailed. 



Nothing is known of its habits beyond the fact of its inhabiting 

 the highest ranges of the Himalayas, especially towards the frontiers 

 of Assam, and there it seems to be of very rare occurrence." —
