bordering the median to its base below the cell, some grey scales also are scattered

 anal cone and also a small spot in the next median interspace. Head and thorax,

Laeya. — " Cylindrical, tapering a httle at each end; furnished with two dorsal

 additional long pair between the dorsal and lateral rows. Head smooth and black, 

 the body of a uniform, dark, madder-brown, prettily lighted by a tinge of pink at

 baud of the same colour " (Davidson and Aitken, I.e.). 



Pupa. — " Suspended by the tail, and a girdle which encircles it much nearer the 

 head than is usual in Papilio pupce. In form it is stout, flattened and dilated in the 

 middle, the head and thorax thrown back ; head somewhat angular and tuberculated, 

 and two of the abdominal segments bear each a prominent dorsal pair of pointed 

 tubercles. Colour usually light brown, with a contrasting saddle of old gold, or
