access to the volume in which the illustration occurs I have been 

 unable to examine their figures. 

 Seitz remarks 12 that — 



the larva is green, with two pointed tubercles anteriorly and at the anus, 

 bearing also two small points on each side of the third and fifth segments, 

 on Aurantiaceae. Dorsal thoracical projection of the pupa strongly 

 acuminate. 



Jordan states 13 that — 



the young larva is black or dark green, with numerous spines, of which 

 those on the metathorax are long and bristly; when full grown green, 

 beneath lighter, with a pair of short spines on each of the three thoracic 

 segments and on the last segment; on the metathorax a yellow transverse 

 band and from the metathorax to the anal segment a yellowish stripe above 

 the legs; on Machilus odoratissima, Geijera salicifolia, Litsaea, Alseodaphne, 

 etc., and especially Camphora officinalis, where this tree has been imported. 

 Pupa green, the thoracic horn slenderer, more pointed and straighter than 

 in the allied species, the lateral ridges extending downwards from the horn 

 straight, between this carina and the frontal one a very slight, somewhat 

 curved vertical ridge. 



Pryer states that the larva feeds on the young leaves of the 

 evergreen, Machilus thunbergii, and that its color resembles 

 very closely that of the young green leaves of this tree. 



Butler 14 records P. teredon Feld., from Nikko, Central Japan ; 

 this is the Ceylon form of the species, and according to Moore's 

 figure of the imago only differs from typical P. sarpedon in 

 the narrower band of the forewing and in having the anal 

 angle of secondaries more produced. 



Moore describes the larva of P. teredon as follows: 



Larva smooth, green, with a paler lower lateral line, and a dorsal band 

 ending in a lateral tubercular spot on fourth segment; a pair of short tuber- 

 cles on front and anal segment. Pupa green, with lateral and dorsal longi- 

 tudinal yellowish streaks. Feeds on Cinnamomeum [sic]. 



Davidson and Aitken describe the larva of teredon as follows : 



Larva. — "Very like that of agamemnon but prettier, being of a soft dark 

 green, inclining to emerald and passing into a pale bluish on the last segment 

 and the underparts." 



Pupa. — "Easily distinguished from that of agamemnon by one mark, viz., 

 the horn is not straight but curves slightly backwards." 



In the Tokyo Zoological Magazine (Tokyo Dobutsugaku 

 Zasshi), already cited, there is a good uncolored plate showing 

 the metamorphoses of P. sarpedon, but no allusion is made to 



"Macrolep. of the World, Faun. Pal. (1906), 1, 15. 



"Seitz's Macrolep. of the World, Faun. Indo-austral. (1900), 9, 94.
