PAPILIONID#—PAPILIO. 
PAPILIO PORTHAON. 21, 22. 
Uprrrsips. Male black. Both wings crossed obliquely, from the costal margin 
(beyond the middle) of the anterior wing to near the abdominal fold of the posterior 
wing, by a band of pale green spots; both with a submarginal band of white spots. 
Anterior wing with two bands near the base ; three curved linear bands and a white 
spot within the cell, and three minute white spots beyond the cell. Posterior wing 
with the abdominal fold and four small spots of white. 
UNDERSIDE as above, except that the posterior wing is rufous brown, with a 
linear crimson spot (bordered on both sides with black) from the costal margin ; 
crimson spots between the median nervules and at the end of the abdominal fold, 
and black spots between the nervures. 
Exp. 3345 m. Hab. Zambesi. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Near to P. Policenes: nearer still to P. Anthzus, from which, though much alike on the anterior 
wing, it is very different on the posterior wing. The P. Evombar, in the Collection of Dr. Boisduval, 
does not appear to me to be specifically distinct from P. Anthseus; the difference is very slight. For 
the species now figured I am indebted to the great kindness of Mrs. Dickinson, whose son took it on 
the Zambesi.
