CirAEACTEES OF THE PaPILIOXID.T;. 



Imago. — Of large or moderate size. Discoidal cells always closed. Foreioing 

 snb-triangular or triangular; subcostal veiu either four or five branched; lower 

 radial so positioned as to appear like a fourth branch of the median vein ; median 

 vein three branched ; median and sub-median vein connected by a short cross veiulet 

 near their base in the Papilionince and Leptocircinse ; submedian with a lower basal 

 short branch or spur extending towards tiie posterior margin, Hindwing 

 subtriangular, or rounded exteriorly, sometimes posteriorly prolonged and the 

 exterior margin with a broad spatular tail, or slender lengthened tail, or tails, more 

 often scalloped or dentated ; abdominal margin excised, never forming a channel or 

 gutter for the reception of the abdomen ; in some males of the Pajniioninse and in 

 the male of Lejitocvrmas, the abdominal margin is plaited or folded over on the upper 

 surface and there enclosing an androcouial tuft of hairs ; precostal vein prominent ; 

 au interno-basal costal cell always present, though vailing in its general shape,* 

 being formed by the peculiar basal conformation of the costal, subcostal and median 

 vein, in conjunction with an interno-costal veinlet; submedian vein either rather 

 short or ending at the anal angle ; internal vein always absent. Bodt/ rather stout ;
