50 PAPILIONID,E. 



discal band pale blue, composed of broad outwardly more or less 

 emarginate streaks in interspaces 1 to 7 ; cilia : fore wing black, 

 hind wing black alternated with white in the interspaces. Under- 

 side opaque blue-black. Fore wing with a dark red streak at base 

 and the subterminal internervular streaks as on the the upperside 

 but grey and more prominent. Hind wing with 4 or 5 small 

 patches of dark red at base, a complete dark red ocellus in inter- 

 spaces 1 and 2, and indistinct subterminal very variable markings 

 of red in the other interspaces, sometimes formed into half ocelli 

 in interspaces 3 and 4 ; within this line of markings there is an 

 incomplete discal lunular series of mixed red and blue scaling. 

 Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen black. closely resembles 

 the tailed form of the $ of P. memnon, race agenor, but on the 

 disc of the fore wing the internervular broad pale streaks are 

 nearly white, and on the hind wing the white streaks in the 

 interspaces beyond and outside the cell shorter and strongly 

 tinged with red along their edges, while the dark red is more 

 extended, especially in the tornal area where it covers the terminal 

 three-fourths of interspaces 1 and 2, interrupted in 1 by a 

 comparatively round oval black spot and in 2 by a broad elongate 

 black patch ; apical half of tail vermilion-red, whitish at apex.

J . Upperside rich velvety black. Fore wing with a postdiscal 

 band composed of internervular broad blue streaks gradually 

 shortened and obsolescent anteriorly, not extended beyond inter- 

 space 6. Hind wing : the terminal three-fourths beyond a line 

 crossing the apical third of the cell pale blue, or greyish blue, 

 with superposed powtdiscal, subtermiual and terminal series of 

 black spots the postdiscal spots elongate, inwardly conical ; the 

 subterminal oval, placed in the interspaces, the terminal irregular, 

 placed along the apices of the veins and anteriorly coalescing 

 more or less with the subterminal spots. Underside opaque black. 

 Fore wing with an elongate spot of dark red at base of cell ; the 

 postdiscal transverse series of streaks as on the upperside but 

 grey tinged with ochraceous and extended right up to the costa; 

 in some specimens similar but narrow streaks also in the cell. 

 Hind wing with five irregular small patches of red at base, the
