Diifers from M. Lucas's figure referred to above by the small size of the spot in the discoidal cell of the 

 primary wings and by having a fourth narrow white mark below the third median nervule. The transverse band 

 on the secondary wings is rather narrower, which causes the third and fourth spots from the anal angle not to 

 touch the nervure that forms the discoidal cell, as is the case in the specimen figured in Lucas's work. This 

 band is of a rich carmine with the fore part much paler, though the small round spot between the first and second 

 subcostal nervules is entirely of a rich crimson. 



The under surface of the primary wings brownish black, with the same white spots as are seen on the upper side, 

 and with a faint streak of buffy white along the subcostal nervules. The under surface of the secondary wings is 

 similar to the upper side, but the spots differ, viz. the first from the anal angle and the small one at the anterior 

 angle are pinkish white, thickly covered with carmme scales ; the second, third and fourth from the anal angle 

 are pinkish white, with the posterior part of each covered thickly with carmine scales.

Papilio Zestos, G. R. Gr. 



Female. PI. X.* f. 5. — Like Papilio Tarquinius in general appearance, but the buffy white spot in the 

 discoidal cell is smaller and is placed at a little distance from the apical part of the median nervure ; the spot 

 between the first and second median nervules is subtriangular, and the one between the base of the second and 

 the middle of the third median nervules is nearly twice the width anteriorly that it is posteriorly, and there is 

 an indication of a very small spot below, about half-way between the base and apex of the third median nervule. 

 The secondary wings have the transverse curved band of deep scarlet, but it is broader, and it is placed at a httle 

 distance from the nervure that forms the discoidal cell ; the first spot at the anal angle is partly separated ante- 

 riorly ; this, and the second and third are the largest, the fourth is smaller, while the fifth and sixth are much 

 smaller, one of which is placed close to the posterior side of the costal nervure and the other to that of the first 

 subcostal nervule. 



The under surface of the primary wings is brownish black, with the buff spot of the same form as on the 

 upper side, and with a narrow streak of buff along the subcostal nervules. The under surface of the secondary 

 wings is brownish black, with the same formed band as on the upper side, but it is of a pinkish white, margmed 

 with crimson scales ; the spot at the anal angle is smaller than that on the upper side.
