P. dissimilis has been taken by Captain Lang in June at Sub- 

 bathoo (N.W. Himalayas), at an altitude of 4000 feet, frequenting 

 a grassy undulating down (see Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865). 



There are one specimen of P. Clytia and two of P. dissimilis in 

 the Banksian Collection in the British Museum.

Ceylon. (From the Rev. J. Wenham) B.M. 



According to Capt. Lang (in Zool. Proc. 1865) this species occurs 

 in mountains and plains, and is constant to the Aurantiacece. Mr. 

 Swinhoe speaks of it as a very common species (Proc. Zool. Soc. 

 1866). 



Donovan remarks that " Papilio Epius and Papilio Demoleus are 

 so similar in their marks and colours that most authors have con- 

 founded one species with the other. Papilio Epius is chiefly dis- 

 tinguished by the red spot in the interior margin of the lower wings 

 having no blue eye-shaped mark above it." We have a specimen 

 of P. Erithonius in the collection which agrees well, in the form 

 of the hind-wiug band, with Donovan's P. Demoleus.
