Mr. E. Doubleday on some new Diurnal Lepidoptera. 235 
lowish and a black iris. Anal angle with a geminate spot com- 
posed of black and white atoms. 
Head, thorax and abdomen fuscous. 
In the collection of the British Museum, &c. 
This species seems to be the representative of Th. Odana in 
Northern India, and does not seem to be rare. The blue is of a 
peculiar brilhancy. 
Fam. PAPILIONID/. 
Genus Papriio. 
P. Evan, P. alis anticis elongatis falcatis acuminatis, posticis elon- 
gatis, dentatis, caudatis, omnibus luteo-rufis, margine externo 
late fusco-brunneo, maculis lunulisque luteo-rufis, Exp. alar. 
5 une. | lin, vel 130 millim. 
Anterior wings elongate, faleate, acuminate, of bright light 
fulvous, the base and anterior portion of the costa more ob- 
scure, the costa from the middle to the apex and the exterior 
margin deep brown, with fulyous spots at the apex and anal 
angle ; a sigmoid spot in the cell and a larger spot on the disco- 
cellular nervure of the same colour as the margin. Posterior 
wings elongate, dentate, caudate, light fulvous at the base, deep 
fuscous brown beyond ; a series of five lunulate light fulvous spots 
near the outer margin, preceded by three spots and a striga of a 
deeper fulvous near the anal angle, the tail fulvous brown, paler 
towards the apex; cilia marked with pale fulvyous near the outer 
angle. Below, the wings a bright yellow-ochre colour, the ante- 
rior with seyeral irregular spots in the cell, a larger one on the 
discoidal, three on the costa near the apex, a fourth below the 
last of these, followed by a zigzag line, and the outer margin 
bright brown : the margin is marked with lighter-coloured clouds, 
and preceded by some indistinct spots on the nervures more or 
less confounded with it. The posterior wings have four brown 
spots at the base, a broad band beyond the middle of deep rich 
brown, extending along the abdominal margin to the tails, which 
are brown. This band is marked anteriorly between the nervules 
with silvery atoms, those nearest the inner margin forming a sil- 
very lunule. Beyond the band the wings are of the same colour 
as at the base, with four sigmoid spots, a narrow line on the 
margin itself, and the cilia at the ends of the neryules rich 
brown. 
Head and antenne brown. 
Thorax bright shining black, covered at the sides with brown 
hair and scales, apparently naturally almost bare on the dise. 
Abdomen yery pointed, luteo-fulyous. 
This beautiful species, figured on the second plate of my Ge- 
nera of Diurnal Lepidoptera, is closely allied to P. Payeni of Van
