112 PAPILIONIDJE. 



head, thorax and abdomen brown, the head and thorax suffused 

 with greenish grey ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen 

 touched with dingy white, the abdomen with two whitish lateral 

 lines. c? . Abdominal fold within grey, furnished with a tuft of 

 long, somewhat stiff white hairs. 



Exp. rf $ 81-95 mm. (3-20-3-76"). 



Hab. The Himalayas at comparatively low elevations ; South- 

 western India ; Assam ; Burma ; Tenusserim ; extending to the 

 Malayan Sub region, China and Japan. 



Larva. " Smooth, thickened from the second to the 5th segment 

 and thence decreasing to the end; with two short subdorsal 

 fleshy spines on the 4th segment, between which is a transverse 

 pale yellow line, two shorter spines also on the 2nd and 3rd and 

 two on the anal segment; colour green, with a longitudinal 

 posterior lateral and lower pale yellowish line." (Moore.) 



Papa. " Conical, truncated in front ; thorax produced into a 

 lengthened obtusely-pointed frontal process." (Moore.) 



Eace teredon, Felder. A slightly differentiated x-ace, distin- 

 guishable in both sexes by the narrower medial band that crosses 

 both fore and hind wing. Colour brighter, the contrast between 

 the green of the upper and the blue of the lower portion of the 

 medial band more vivid. Hind wing more produced posteriorly 

 at apex of vein 3, where it forms an elongate tooth or short tail. 



Exp. rf $ 74-90 mm. (2-92-3-56"). 



Hab. Southern India ; Ceylon. 



Larva. " Very like that of ayamemnon but prettier, being of a 

 soft dark green, inclining to emerald and passing into a pale bluish 

 on the last segment and the underparts." (Davidson $ Aitken.) 



Papa. " Easily distinguished from that of agamemnon by one 

 mark, viz. the horn is not straight but curves slightly backwards." 

 {Davidson fy Aliken.) 



MACAREUS GROUP. 



$ 5 . The forms of this group bear a sufficiently close resem- 

 blance to the bluish-white striped Danaids, that are protected by 

 a disagreeable odour and taste, to be themselves to a certain extent 

 protected from the attacks of insectivorous birds. The neuration of 

 the fore wing is more or less like that in the Glycerion. Antipliates 

 and other groups. Vein 31 anastomosed with vein 12, but the 

 hind wing is not tailed in any member of this group, though the 

 abdominal fold in the hind wing of the male is always present. 



Key to the forms of the Macareus Group. 



a. Hind wing underside : ground-colour along a 

 broad terminal baud much darker than and 

 contrasting with ground-colour on basal and 

 discal areas of wing. 



a'. Upperside bluish grey ; stripes very broad, 

 tilling cell and interspaces; tornal yellow 

 spot on hind wing very large P. .renodes, p. 113.
