Family PAPILIONID^. 



Genus Papilio, Liun. 



1, Papilio Euphranor, (PI. V. fig. I, 2). 



Exp. 4 in. — 4 in. 3 lin. 



Hind-wings tailed. Brownish-hlack, with pah sulphur- 

 yellmv hand, and marginal spots. 



^ . Fore-tmng : costa finely irrorated with yellow as far 

 as extremity of discoidal cell, where the irrorations are so 

 dense as to form a more or less distinct longitudinal 

 streak ; this streak with a more conspicuous one imme- 

 diately below it, being the origin of a transverse band of 

 eight well-defined elongate spots, gradually enlargin'g to 

 a little beyond middle of inner margin ; this band is 

 rather abruptly angulated on first discoidal nervure, where 

 the second spot is connected with the last of a short row 

 of three smaller spots (in line with the six other spots of 

 transverse band) from costa near apex ; in cell, at lower 

 edge of its extremity, a small rounded yellow spot (some- 

 times wanting) . Hind-iving : macular band of fore-wing 

 continued by a belt of the same colour (nearly straight on 

 its inner edge, but outwardly sharply denticulated with 

 black on the crossing nervures) which terminates narrowly 

 on inner margin beyond middle; adjoining belt, but 

 separated from it by a black bar on disco- cellular nervules, 

 a curved row of three spots, of which the uppermost is 

 largest ; immediately beyond inner-marginal extremity of 

 belt, but sometimes touching it, a small sub-lunular orange 

 spot; a sub-marginal row of 11-12 spots arranged in 

 pairs between nervules, the spots of the fourth and fifth 

 pairs usually confluent ; tail black, not spotted, rather 

 broad, slightly spatulate. In hoth ivings, the indentations 

 of hind-marginal edge between nervules are marked with 

 yellow lunules. 



Undbeside.^ — -General pattern similar to that of upper- 

 side ; hind-wing and apical region of fore-wing ivaron cho- 

 colate-hroum, clouded ivWi. paler grayish-ochreous-brown 

 (which has, in many parts, a faint violaceous lustre). 

 Fore-wing : upper spots of transverse band, and those of 

 row from near apex, represented by ill-defined yellowish- 

 white marks ; cellular spot larger and more distinct, and 

 succeeded by an additional spot just beyond cell ; other 

 spots of band as above, but each emitting a small, acute,
