258. Papilio Hierocles. 



Papilio Hierocles, G. R. Gr. 



Male. PI. X. f. 2. — The primary wings glossy bluish black, with the summits clearer, and the outer margin 

 with eight minute spots of white scales between the nervules ; a lengthened triangular space of greenish grey, 

 commencing from the inner margin nearest the base, and continuing beyond the second median nervule ; this 

 band has on the outer side near the apex a suboblong spot of white cut into two by the third median nervule. 

 The secondary wings bluish black, with the basal portion glossed with purple, and the outer margin between 

 the dentations white ; a transverse curved band opalescent crimson, which is divided into four spots by the ner- 

 vules ; the two next the anal angle are the largest, and nearly equal in size, the third is smaller and subqua- 

 drate, while the fourth is the smallest of all, so much so, that in some specimens it is hardly apparent. 



The under surface of the primary wings dull black, with the summits clearer, having only the two white spots 

 which are seen on the upper side. The under surface of the secondary wings is dull black, with a curved band of 

 six spots of pale scarlet, but the anterior portions of the second and third are of a pale pink. 



Female. PL IX. f. 9. — The primary wings brownish black, with the summits clearer and the outer margin 

 between the nervules narrowly bordered with white ; a space of white occupies the middle wing, which is divided 

 into three and sometimes only into two spots ; the first is placed between at the base of the first and second median 

 nervules ; the second, which is the largest, is placed between at the base of the second and third median ner- 

 vules ; and the third is small and linear, and is placed below the third median nervule. This latter spot is some- 

 times wanting, and these spots are less in size in some specimens, which is caused by the black colour spreading 

 itself between the median nervule and the spots. 



The under surface of the primary wings brownish black, with similar white spots to those seen on the upper 

 side. The under surface of the secondary wings brownish black, marked in the same manner as on the upper side, 

 but the spots are pinkish white bordered with scarlet.

260. Papilio Aglaope. 



Papilio Aglaope, G. R. Gr. 



Male. PI. X. f. 5.— The primary wings deep bluish black, with the summits clearer ; a greyish blue oblique band 

 commences about the middle of the inner margm and extends to the median nervure between the first and second 

 median nervules ; this band has on its outer side, between the second and third median nei-vules, a quadrate 

 white spot. The secondary wings are entirely bluish black, with the outer margin between the dentations nar- 

 rowly bordered with scarlet ; a transverse curved band of four longitudinal scarlet spots, with the anterior part 

 more obscure, runs across the wing ; the three first from the inner margin are of an equal size, but the fourth 

 is smaller and somewhat quadrate.
