96 PAPILIONID/E. 



continued in unbroken spiracular lines to the tail. This ridge or 

 hood is furnished with two short, blunt, black subdorsal spines. 

 The 4th and 5th segments are furnished each with two subdorsal 

 vermilion tubercles armed with a short black spine. Last segment 



bifurcate, the points yellow, tipped with black Legs, 



claspers and abdomen of a whitish green." {Mrs. S. Itobson.) 



Pupa. " One inch long ; brighter green than the larva, marked 

 longitudinally with four ochreous-yellow curved bars." (Mrs. S. 

 Robson.} 



Race sikhimica (PI. XIV, fig. 93, rf ), Heron. A very slightly- 

 differentiated race. Can be distinguished by its generally larger 

 size and more heavily defined black markings. On the upperside 

 of the fore wing the fourth transverse black band from base crosses 

 the cell and extends beyond the median vein, as in P. f/tycerion. 

 In all specimens of Tcaslimirensis that I have seen the above band 

 stops short at the median vein ; again, the postdiscal transverse 

 black band extends in sikhimica to vein 1. The markings on the 

 hind wings on both upper and under sides, except that they are 

 broader, are as in P. kashmirensis. 



Exp. rf $ 62-7G mm. (2-46-2-95"). 



Bab. Sikhim ; Assam. 



According to Elwes this form in Sikhim inhabits a lower zone, 

 2000 to 4000 feet, than does P. gJycerion, which extends up to 

 7000 feet. 



ANTIPHATES GROUP. 



c? $ . Characters similar to those of the Glycerwn group, but 

 in the fore wing the upper discocellular is only a little longer than 

 the middle ; the apex of the wing is on the whole more produced ; 

 the termen more oblique and slightly concave in the middle. 

 " The light bands in the apical region with hair-like scales " 

 (Rothschild). 



As in the Glycerion group the males have a narrow abdominal 

 fold on the hind wings, but are devoid of any scent-organ within it. 



Key to the forms of the Antiphates Group. 



a. Fore wing upperside : postdiscal and terminal 



black bands that coalesce below vein 3 and 

 extend to tornus. 



'. Hind wing upperside : bnsal three-fourths 

 uniform white ; black markings of under- 

 side show through by transparency P. antiphates, p. 97.

 black streak and some upper discal black ( r> , , .
