segments wliatever. The butterfly appears from Jannar}^ to June, and again in 

 September, but in no other montlis. The males, if undisturbed, are, on the wing, 

 exactly like T. Linnxi, but as- soon as they scent dangei", they assume the typical 

 rapid flight of a Papilio. They are vei'y fond of wet swampy spots in the forest. 

 The females are very scarce." Of his species, Eiiploeopsis Penomimus, he also 

 writes : — " I bred this from larvee found in May. They feed on a low shrub in the 

 forest, called by the Malays ' Dahoen Laksali,' the larva3 are velvety-green and deep 

 indigo-blue, with round lateral red spots, and short fleshy tubercles. The pupa is 

 similar to that of E. Butleri, being suspended by a black girth to a stalk of the 

 food-plant, the three posterior abdominal segments greatly flattened on the side 

 touching the stick. As the stalk was still green, the pupa also was mostly green, 

 with brown and white markings ; the imago emerged in sixteen days. The butterfly 

 occurs from January to March, and again in June " (Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, 

 ]895, p. 520).
