284 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



extends nearly to the base. The hind-wings have a double 

 row of yellow crescents, and towards the anal angle is an 

 orange lunule. The female is bluish-black, with or without 

 an oblique yellow transverse band on the fore-wings, and 

 with a double row of greenish sub-marginal lunules on the 

 hind-wings. The middle tail is hardly longer than the others. 

 The larva is brown, with pinkish-white markings, and feeds on 

 a species of Malva. The pupa is brown and grey. 



[XLV.] Priainides, Hiibner. This is another South American 

 genus, much resembling Parides in appearance, but much 

 larger and more robust ; the type is P. pompeius (Fabricius). 

 The wings expand from three to five and a half inches ; the 

 fore-wings are produced at the tip, with the hind-margin more 

 or less concave, and the hind- wings are strongly dentated, but 

 not tailed. The wings are black, the fore-wings often with one 

 or two large whitish spots toward the inner-margins ; the hind- 

 wings with a rather broad sub-marginal band, more or less 

 divided into spots, at least towards the anal angle. Sometimes 

 the outer part of the fore-wings is paler. The larva is brown, 

 with white longitudinal dashes, and short fleshy spines ; head 

 and legs yellow. The pupa is brown, with a bifid head. The 

 larva feeds on the lime tree ( Citrus). 



[XLVI.] This genus has not yet received a name. It includes 

 Papilio zagreus, Doubleday, and one or two other rare South 

 American species, measuring about four inches in expanse. 

 They have broad rounded wings, the hind-wings being very 

 slightly scalloped, and are black, with tawny markings ar- 

 ranged in the same way as in the genus Lycorea, Doubleday, 

 in the Danaina (see vol. i. p. 29). 



[XLIX.] Euphceades, Hiibner. The type of this genus is the 

 fine North American species, E. gfauais (Linn.), a yellow 

 Swallow-tail, three or four inches in expanse, with black bjixbrs
