PAPILIONID^. 61 



Variety a. Male. 



This differs by the shortness and narrowness of the band on the primary wings. The scarlet spots on the 

 secondaiy wings are much longer and one more in number than in the male previously described.

Male. ^The primary wings black, with the summits clearer ; a narrow oblique band of white, which com- 

 mences in the middle of the interior margin and extends to the second median nervule with some white scales 

 towards the first median nervule. The secondary wings acutely dentated and black, with the border between 

 the dentations white ; a transverse band of five and sometimes of six unequal spots of carmine ; the two at the 

 anal angle small and equal, the third and fourth larger and equal, while the fifth is much smaller. 



The under surface of the primary wings is similar to the upper side both in colour and marking ; the base is 

 spotted with carmine. The under surface of the secondary wings is like the upper side ; but the spots are six 

 in number, of a less size, and of a crimson colour, with the fore part of the two largest pinkish white ; the base 

 has two spots of carmine.

Male. PI. IX. f. 3. — The primary wings deep black, rather clearer at the summits ; an oblique band of 

 yellowish white scales, which commences from the middle of the inner margin, and extends to the middle of the 

 second median nervule ; and there are some scattered minute white scales in advance and on the sides of this 

 band. The secondary wings deep black, with the borders between the dentations narrowly fringed with white ; 

 a transverse band composed of five unequal spots of rich carmme ; the first at the anal angle is subquadrate, the 

 next two are nearly equal and oblong, the fourth is smaller and oblong, while the fifth is only indicated by some 

 rather scattered scales, but m some specimens this spot is not apparent ; the inner margin is partly scarlet and 

 partly black. 



The under surface of the primary wings is bronzy black, with the white band as prominent as on the upper 

 side ; the base has two spots of scarlet. The under surface of the secondary whigs is bronzy black, with the 

 same transverse band as is seen on the upper side, but it is composed of five distinct spots ; that at the anal 

 angle is oblique and entirely of pale scarlet ; the three next are rosy white, with the outer ends pale scarlet ; the 

 fifth spot is rather large and entirely pale scarlet ; while at the base of the wing there are two deep scarlet spots. 



Female. PI. IX. f. 4. — The primary wings brownish black, with a large space of buff- white, which is divided 

 into four spots by the median nervure and by the bases of the first and second median nervules. The secondary 

 wings brownish black, with the outer margin between the dentations slightly bordered with white ; a large space 

 in the middle of the whig of a pale carmine, which is towards the anal angle partly ochraceous ; it is composed 

 of six unequal spots, one of which occupies nearly the outer half of the discoidal cell, while the others are placed 

 below the cell, thus occupying the basal portion of the spaces between the nervules, except between the first and 

 second discoidal nervules, where it is partly marked with pale carmine ; and the space between the third median 

 nervule and the inner margin is also of the same colours. 



The under surface of the primary wings is bronzy black, with the same spot as is exhibited on the upper side 

 but the base of the wing has two scarlet spots. The under surface of the secondary wings is also bronzy black.
