  This 
  green-spotted 
  swallowtail 
  is 
  frequent 
  in 
  forest 
  areas, 
  

   normally 
  flying 
  high 
  among 
  the 
  trees. 
  The 
  flight 
  is 
  very 
  swift 
  and 
  

   follows 
  an 
  irregular 
  course 
  along 
  the 
  tree 
  tops, 
  dropping 
  quickly 
  down 
  

   along 
  woodland 
  roads 
  to 
  follow 
  the 
  tops 
  of 
  shrubs, 
  but 
  soon 
  returning 
  

   again 
  to 
  a 
  great 
  height.

  Notes. 
  — 
  Kothschild 
  described 
  this 
  species 
  on 
  the 
  basis 
  of 
  two 
  males 
  

   from 
  Manus. 
  The 
  female 
  has 
  yet 
  to 
  be 
  discovered. 
  On 
  the 
  male 
  

   taken 
  on 
  Los 
  Negros, 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  characters 
  given 
  in 
  Lord 
  

   Rothschild's 
  description, 
  there 
  are 
  four 
  large 
  but 
  obscure 
  dark 
  spots, 
  

   one 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  vein 
  4, 
  the 
  outer 
  just 
  above 
  the 
  outer 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  

   white 
  border, 
  the 
  next 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  side 
  of 
  vein 
  4 
  near 
  the 
  border, 
  

   the 
  two 
  others 
  in 
  the 
  interspace 
  above. 
  On 
  the 
  fore 
  wing 
  there 
  are 
  

   two 
  large 
  obscure 
  dark 
  spots 
  between 
  veins 
  1 
  and 
  2 
  and 
  2 
  and 
  3, 
  just 
  

   beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  wing. 
  

  

  This 
  black-and-white 
  skipper 
  is 
  occasional 
  in. 
  brushy 
  woods 
  along 
  

   the 
  coast. 
  It 
  is 
  fond 
  of 
  perching 
  on 
  sunny 
  leaves 
  about 
  12 
  feet 
  up 
  in 
  

   forest 
  clearings, 
  darting 
  out 
  after 
  blue 
  swallowtails 
  if 
  they 
  pass 
  by. 
  

   The 
  flight 
  of 
  this 
  skipper 
  is 
  very 
  fast, 
  but 
  the 
  white 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  hind 
  

   wings 
  makes 
  it 
  easy 
  to 
  follow 
  with 
  the 
  eye.

   Notes. 
  — 
  We 
  found 
  this 
  skipper 
  most 
  common 
  in 
  coastal 
  swamps 
  at 
  

   the 
  edge 
  of 
  a 
  salt 
  marsh. 
  It 
  is 
  local 
  and 
  generally 
  rare 
  except 
  in 
  a
