Male. PI. VI. f. 2. — " Wings above black, traversed by a broad bright green fascia divided by the ner- 

 vures, commencing in the discoidal cell of the anterior wing, and terminating on the inner margin of the pos- 

 terior wings, of which it occupies fully two-thirds. This band is nearly straight on its inner side, but externally 

 it is suddenly vridened below the radial nervure of the anterior wings, and much dentated on the posterior wings. 

 It is preceded on the costa by a large subquadrate spot of the same colour di\'ided into four by the nervures. 

 At the apex of the anterior wings are two elongate green spots, followed on the outer margin by a series of ge- 

 minate spots, and a simple round one at the anal angle of the same colour. On the posterior wings, towards 

 the outer margin, are three rounded green spots, each followed by a small dot of the same colour (sometimes 

 very indistinct) . These are succeeded by three geminate spots ; the first romided, the second elongate, the 

 third rounded, near the anal angle and almost touching the transverse band. Below fuscous, the anterior wings 

 darker at the base ; towards the anal angle a marginal series of five or seven small white spots placed in pairs 

 between the nervules, between which and the margin are two or three very minute white dots. Posterior wings 

 with three black striae in the cell, a macular band of a pale gold colour near the outer margin, and two points of 

 the same colour near the anal angle. 



" Head and thorax black, spotted with white. Abdomen fuscous, above with the edges of the segments paler, 

 below with five series of white spots ; anal valves rounded. 



" This species is closely alUed to Papilio Nireus, but has the band much wider and somewhat different in its 

 direction, and the anal valves are much rounder." — Ann. Nat. Hist.
