336 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



narrow, about two-thirds the length of the costa, upper discocellular very minute, 

 middle and lower discocellulars inwardly oblique, the lower very short, vein 5 

 consequently arising close to 4, 3 from close to lower end of cell, its base almost 

 touchine the end, 2 from well before the middle in the male, its base somewhat 

 farther from the base of the cell in the female ; costa somewhat recurved, apex 

 somewhat acute, wing comparatively long, outer margin convex to vein 2, then 

 emarginate ; hinder angle well pronounced, hinder margin straight ; male with a 

 discal stigma of raised scales, on the forewing from the base of vein 3, entirely 

 filling the angle at the bifurcation of vein 2 and extending to the sub-median vein, 

 one-third from the base. Ilindwing, vein 7 emitted one-third before upper end of cell, 

 discocellulars outwardly oblique, faint, vein 5 absent, 3 from close to lower end of 

 cell, 2 from about one-fifth before the end. Costa slightly convex, apex rounded, 

 outer margin even, slightly excised between veins 3 and lb. Antennse short, less 

 than half the length of costa of forewing, club robust, rather short, with a very 

 minute terminal crook ; palpi with the second joint densely scaled, third joint minute, 

 sub-erect, bluntly conical ; hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. 

 Type, Papilio comma, Linnaeus.

Imago. — Male. Upperside orange-ochreous, veins finely brown. Foreio'mg with 

 the base narrowly sufi"used with blackish-brown, the interspaces here and there slightly 

 suffused with pale brown, the outer margin fuliginous-brown, rather broadly at 

 the apex, narrowing hindwards, containing three conjugated, pale ochreous sub- 

 apical S23ots, divided by the veins, and two sub-marginal, similar spots in inter- 

 spaces 4 and 5, the discal stigma black, with a silvery-white line down its middle. 

 Hindwing with brownish suftusion at the base, and some paler suff'usion in the 

 interspaces, especially towards the abdominal margin, the costa and outer margin 

 narrowly brown. Cilia brown, with white tips towards the hinder angle of forewing 

 and on the entire cilia of the hindwing. Underside. Foreiving paler orange-ochreous, 

 the discal stigma showing narrowly through the wing, the lower half of the wing
