37. Papilio Antimachus. 



Papilio (E.T.) An timachus, Drury, "alls dentatis, elongatis, nigris ; 

 anticis maculis, posticis disco radiato rufo nigro punctato : habitat in 

 Africa." Ill iii. pi. 1 (1782). 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 11. n. 31 (1793). 



The only known specimens of this remarkable Papilio are in the 

 collections of Mr. M'Leay, of Sydney, and of Mr. "Ward, of Halifax. 



This gigantic butterfly and its nearest ally, the P. Ridleyanus of 

 White, present a close imitative resemblance to the members of the 

 subfamily Acrceince. No Acrcea has yet been discovered at all com- 

 parable to P. Antimachus in size ; it is not, however, impossible that 

 its coloration has reference to the group of West- African Acrceince 

 rather than to any particular species ; the under surface of P. Zalmovis 

 shows a resemblance to the same type of colouring, the upper sur- 

 face, however, being of a somewhat metallic green colour.
