Type, Papilio japetus, Cramer. 



This genus can be divided into two w'ell-formed groups by the pattern of the 

 wings : — The Japetus Group, in which the upper side of the wings is in various shades 

 of brown, the forewing with three or more semi-hyaline sub-apical dots, the females 

 with similar, but larger discal spots ; and the Menaka Group), in which the wings are 

 generally black, the outer half of the forewings covered with small, semi-hyaline, white 

 spots, and the lower half or third of the hindwing white or orange-ochreous.
