40 PAPILIONID^!. 



there are one or more cream-yellow spots, and the hlack ground- 

 colour is irrorated with yellowish scales ; finally at the tornal angle 

 there is an oval ochraceous-red spot emarginate on its inner side in 

 the $ and in both sexes surmounted by a blue lunule ; while in 

 interspace 7 between the medial band and the postdiscal spot there 

 is a large ocellus-like spot of the black ground-colour more or less 

 irrorated with blue scales. Underside : ground-colour similar, the 

 cream-coloured markings paler and conspicuously larger. The 

 'atter differ from those on the upperside as follows : Fore wing : 

 basal half of cell and base of wing below it with cream-coloured 

 streaks that coalesce at base ; irregular ochraceous spots in inter- 

 spaces 5 to 8 and the discal series of spots complete not interrupted 

 in interspace 5. Hind wing : the black at base of wing and along 

 the dorsal margin centred largely with pale cream-colour ; the 

 ocellus in interspace 7, the apex of the cell and the black ground- 

 colour between the medial band and postdiscal markings in inter- 

 spaces 2-6 centred with ochraceous, margined with blue. Antennae 

 dark reddish brown, touched with ochraceous on the innerside 

 towards the club; head, thorax and abdomen dusky black, the 

 head and thorax anteriorly streaked with cream-yellow ; beneath : 

 the palpi, thorax and abdomen cream-yellow with lateral longi- 

 tudinal black lines on the last. 



Exp. c? $ 80-100 mm. (3-18-3-95"). 



Hob. Kashmir to Ceylon ; Assam to Upper Burma, up to a 

 moderate elevation ; extending to Persia and eastwards to China 

 and Formosa. 



Larva. After 1st moult tuberculate, brown with a milk-white 

 V-shaped mark on the 6th-9th segments, and white lateral streaks 

 anterior and posterior to the V-shaped markings. These make the 

 larva look for all the world like the droppings of some bird, and it 

 is evidently to some extent protected thereby, for while young the 

 larva feeds and rests openly on the upperside of the leaf. Full- 

 grown the larva is brilliant rich green, velvety and without 

 tubercles, the sides and some of the segments dorsally marked 

 with black, yellowish white, and rich brown ; head, legs and prolegs 

 reddish brown. The food-plant varies, the "bael" (JZgle), " her" 

 (Zizyphu8\ lime, orange and pumelo are the chief. 



Pupa. Green or yellowish-brown according to surroundings. 



Race malayanus, "Wallace. A slightly differentiated and not 

 very constant race ; distinguishable by the width (measured in the 

 cell) of the median cream-coloured band on the hind wing. In 

 typical demoleus the apical third of the cell is black on the upper- 

 side ; in the present race the cream-coloured median band is 

 broader, and leaves less than a fourth of the cell at apex black. 



Exp. 3 $ as in the typical form. 



Hab. Lower Burma ; Tenasserim ; Malay Peninsula. Many 

 specimens from Assam to Lower Burma are intermediate as 

 regards the width of the median transverse band on the hind 

 wing.
