larva to P. Ejnus, but considering how nearly the two species are 

 allied, it is not surprising that the larva should be very similar, 

 and the description of the larva of the one species may therefore 

 very nearly suit the other also. P. Demoleus, however, is not 

 confined to Africa, as Boisduval's remarks would lead one to sup- 

 pose, but is found in China according to Donovan, and in India 

 according to Fabricius ; the latter statement I can corroborate, for 

 the species is far from uncommon here. It is figured by Donovan, 

 and also by Cramer, (plate 231, A B,) who states that it is from 

 the Cape of Good Hope.* 



Sp. 5. P. Protenor. 

 Donovan figures the female, and Cramer gives both sexes 

 (plate 49, A B) as found in China. It is by no means an un- 

 common species in the warm glens of these hills during the 

 summer months, and it is common in the Dhoon. Its flight is 

 somewhat heavy and unsteady. 



Sp. G. P. Dissimilis, 



Occurs in warm glens as well as in the Dhoon, but it does not 

 appear to be very numerous. It is figured by Cramer (plate 82, 

 C D), and said to be from China, where it is supposed to be 

 common, as almost every collection from that country is said to 

 contain them. 



Sp. 7. P. Panope. 



Is found rather sparingly in the hills during summer, but is 

 more abundant in the Dhoon. It is figured by Cramer (plate 295, 

 E F) as coming from China. 



Sp. 8. P. Pohjtes. 

 Cramer gives plate 265, C, as the female of P. Pohjtes, A B ; 

 in this he is wrong, as I have taken males and females of both. 

 P. Polytes, A B, is not uncommon here during the rainy season, 

 and at Rajpore, at the foot of the hills, it is frequently met witli. 

 Cramer's figure C is a distinct species, which is also found here, 

 but its name is unknown to me. Cramer gives the habitat China, 

 Java, and coast of Coromandel, to which may be added the Hima- 

 layan vallies, the Deyrah Dhoon, Neemuch, and Saugor. 



Sp. 9. P. Pammon. 

 This is the most common species of the genus, being sometimes

 which Captain Huttonhas evidently regarded as two species.— J. O. W.]
