The full-grown larva figured (Plate I, fig. 6) was taken in 

 September, 1900, at Yoshino, Yamato Province, on tabu-no-ki 

 (Machilus thunbergii S. and Z.), a species of the Lauracese. It 

 pupated on September 11, 1900, and a female specimen emerged 

 on May 1, 1901. A male specimen was bred from a similar 

 larva on May 3, 1901. These two specimens are probably refer- 

 able to P. sarpedonides Fruhst., but as they are not before me 

 I am unable to say whether they should be assigned to the 

 spring form, P. sarpedonides, or the summer form, P. nipponus. 

 Moore describes the larva and pupa of P. sarpedon as follows. 10 



Larva. — "Smooth, thickened from the second to the 5th segment, and 

 thence decreasing to the end; with two short subdorsal fleshy spines on the 

 4th segment, between which i» a transverse pale yellow line, two shorter 

 spines also on the second and third, and two on the anal segment; color, 

 green, with a longitudinal posterior lateral and lower pale yellowish line." 



Pupa. — "Conical, truncated in front; thorax produced into a lengthened 

 obtusely pointed frontal process." 



The spines on segments 2 and 3 are not well represented in 

 my figure of the adult larva (Plate I, fig. 6). 



Kershaw states that both larva and pupa are very much like 

 those of P. eurypilus Linn, and that, in Hongkong, the larva 

 feeds on citrus plants and on Laurus camphora.
