Papilio hicolor. 



Exp. al. circa 4^ in. 



Black ; eyes partly surrounded with white ; incisions white : 

 fore wings with a white band at three fourths of their length, 

 extending from the costa to two fifths of the width of the 

 wing, and composed of a series of linear or subbifid stripes : 

 hind wings tailed, with a broad white band of a slightly 

 creamy or greenish shade, commencing on the outer half of 

 the costa, which it nearly covers in the male, though narrower 

 at this point in the female ; it is then indented within in the 

 male, and curved outwards towards the cell in the female ; 

 basally it covers the extremity of the cell, and then curves 

 towards the anal angle, before reaching which it ceases ; on 

 tiie outer side this pale band is greatly indented, especially on 

 its upper portion. On the under surface of the fore wings the 

 series of subapical stripes extending from the costa are larger 

 and more numerous, but, except the basal part of the upper 

 ones, consist only of grey dusting : the pale band on the hind 

 wings is reduced to live white spots running from the costa, 

 corresponding to the outer part of the band ; the first and last 

 are simply lunules, and the three middle ones are deeply 

 indented on the outside, and are followed by blue dusting ; 

 towards the anal angle are two yellow spots, that nearest the 

 base rounded, and that beyond the white spot in the anal 

 incision linear ; in the female there is also a submarginal row 

 of linear yellow spots on the under surface of the hind wings.

White ; fore wings dusted with ashy at the base and along 

 the costal third, beyond which the costa, which is narrowly 

 black from the base, becomes more distinctly so ; the hind 

 margin is moderately broadly brown, most broadly on the 

 costa ; opposite the middle of the hind margin is a long shallow 

 excavation into the white, and the brown border is again slightly 

 continued along the inner margin at the anal angle : hind 

 wings with a narrower ashy border, not indented externally 

 and hardly extending either to the tip or anal angle. Under- 

 side white, immaculate : hind wings a little yellowish. Club 

 of the antennae tipped with yellow.
