the hind-wings the bar beyond the dark portion is of a 

 more fleshy-brown colour, the apical margin darker, and 

 with a row of black, fulvous, and silvery lunules, of which 

 the interior forms a bilunate ocellus at the anal angle. 



Of the species with a green fascia across all the wings, 

 of which Papilio Grino may be considered as the type, 

 we find that species and P. Blumei distinguished by 

 having the tails of the hind- wings more or less irrorated 

 with metallic blue or green scales, the band in P. Crino 

 running across the wings entirely beyond the discoidal 

 cell, whilst in P. Blumei it is so much advanced towards 

 the base, that it does not at all, in the fore-wings, and 

 only slightly in the hind-wings, extend beyond the cell. 



As regards the nomenclature and specific identification 

 of the two Fabrician species with a green fascia across 

 all the wings, but having no spots on the tails, we fortu- 

 nately possess satisfactory materials in this country. 



Papilio Crino, Fabr. 



This was described by Fabricius from the collection of 

 Drury, with an erroneous locality, Africa, but with a 

 reference to Jones's 'Icones,' V. I. pi. 53. Donovan, 

 who figures the species in his 'insects of China,' states 

 that he does so on the authority of Drur3r's collection, 

 and Boisduval states that he received it from Cochin 

 China. Jones's drawings do not give any locality, but 

 the fascia not extending either in fore or hind-wings 

 into the discoidal cells, and the green spot close to the 

 tip of the tails of the hind-wings, at once separate this 

 species from all it allies. There are two males of P. 

 Crino in the British Museum, in which there is a very 

 small patch of green scales at the lower extremity of the 

 discoidal cell of the fore- wings. These are wanting in 

 the specimen in the Hopeian collection, and in others 

 which I have seen, especially in specimens in the collec- 

 tion of the Rev. E. Savory, from Ceylon, some of which, 

 males, have the first and second branches of the median 

 vein clothed with a narrow stripe of brown hairs (more 

 slender on the second branch) , whilst these branches are 

 quite naked in other male specimens. According to 

 l)r. Felder (Catal. Pap. pp. 34, 82), these naked indivi- 

 duals are from the mountainous part of Ceylon, and he 

 has accordingly applied to them the specific name of P. 

 montanus, adding that the mountain individuals have the 

 fascia in the hind-wings, especially of the females, broader 

 and more brightly coloured than the littoral specimens.
