30 LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS. 



141. Papilio Parmatus. 



Papilio Pamiatus, G. R. Gr. 



PI. III. f. 2. — The primary wings yellowisli white, vrith the base shghtly black, and five black bands across 

 from the anterior margin towards the mner margin ; the first reaches to the inner margin, tlie second nearly 

 so, but the third, fourth and fifth extend only to the median neriTire, and these are broader than the former 

 ones ; a broad black border along the outer margin which is divided into two bands by a narrow line of yellowish 

 white, and this again is apparently separated by the nervules. The secondary wings yellowish white, with the 

 base black, and then a band, which is a continuation of the first band of the primary wing, reaches only to the 

 median nervure ; a black spot at the base between the first and second median nei-vules ; and in the middle of 

 the space between the second and third median nervules is a black spot, having below it a white and a black line 

 and then a white line ; along the outer margin is a broad black border, which is divided by a series of six white 

 Imiules ; the four next the anal angle are powdered above vrith grey, and with a black spot, small and somewhat 

 rounded at the anal angle. 



The under surface of the primary wings is marked similarly to the upper side ; but it is white tinged with 

 yellow at the base, and the hands are brown. The under surface of the secondary wings is white, having a brown 

 band near and along the inner margin, which ends in a black line, a crimson hue, and then a black hne ; the anal 

 angle white with a black spot ; a second irregular band crosses the wing near its middle, formed inwardly of 

 black, then crimson, and outwardly of black ; this band is connected with the inner one by a black spot, having 

 a crimson line outwardly ; the markmgs on the outer margin are similar to those of the upper side, but a portion 

 of the band is brown at the anterior angle. 



This species is much allied to P. Anticrates, hut the band on the under surface dovra the middle of the 

 wing differs in several particulars, as is best exempUfied ia the figure.

Plate III. f. 1. — "Above, anterior wings whitish, slightly tinged at the base with greenish, the outer margin 

 broadly fuscous black, divided by a whitish line extending from the second median ner^Tile nearly to the anal 

 angle ; near the base are two transverse fuscous bands, continued across the posterior wings beyond the middle ; 

 a third band crosses the middle of the cell, extenduig beyond the median nervure ; a fourth covers the end of 

 the cell, nearly touching the black border. Posterior wings tailed, with a broad fuscous black margin marked 

 with a series of whitish Imiules between the nervules, less defined towards the anal angle, where they are margined 

 with bluish, the abdominal margin black ; the terminations of the two transverse bands marked by four yellowish 

 lunules, bordered vrith black, of which two are placed outside the second band, two between these and the ab- 

 dommal margin ; tails black, bordered with whitish. 



" Below, all the wings with the markings nearly as above, but there is an indication of a second pale line in the 

 dark margin of the anterior wings, and on the posterior wings two additional red lunules outside the second band 

 near the costa. 



" Head brovrai, white anteriorly ; antennse black. 



" Thorax brown above, with two white lines anteriorly, below greyish white. Abdomen fuscous above, greyish 

 white below. 



" This species represents in Australia P. Nomius and P. Podalirius, and their allies." — Ann. Nat. Hist.

PI. XIII. f. 6. — The primary wings yellowish white, with six bands across the wing black ; the first and 

 second bands extend to the mner margin, the third to the fifth are short and reach only to the median nervure ;
