that authors would probably never have thought of 

 associating them, had they not been reared from 

 the same description of caterpillar. The male is 

 entirely without the basal red spot, and the dark 

 ground colour has a greenish reflection ; the upper 

 wings have a red or ochreous spot at the base on 

 the under side, and there are likewise four small red 

 marks on the same part of the inferior wings : the 

 latter are deep black anteriorly and cinereous behind ; 

 the cinereous portions containing two rows of deep 

 black rounded spots, that next the anal angle 

 encircled with yellow. P. Androgeos of Cramer 

 (pi. 91, A. B.) is a variety of this sex, while the 

 P. Anceus, and P. Laomedon, of the same icono- 

 graphist are varieties of the female. 



The caterpillar, which feeds on the different kinds 

 of Citrus, is described by Dr. Horsfield as of a green 

 colour, with an ocelliform lateral mark on the third 

 segment, and a transverse white band ; a band of 

 pale green between the fourth and fifth segments, 

 and an oblique white stripe on the eighth and ninth ; 

 the anal segment likewise of that colour. The ante- 

 rior part of the body is considerably attenuated, 

 similar to what is observed in the caterpillars of 

 many of the Hawkmoths. Chrysalis green, reddish- 

 yellow on the back. 



This insect is found in China, and the islands of 

 the Indian Ocean, and is rather a common species.
