this plate in the succeeding Japanese text and the author, there- 

 fore, cannot be named. He gives black and white figures of 

 the larva in its first and fifth stages, of the pupa, and of the 

 imago. 



Matsumura records P. sarpedon from Hokkaido (Yezo), 

 Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Formosa. Miyajima records it 

 also from the Loochoo Islands (Ryukyu), and states that it feeds 

 upon inu-gusu. Inu-gusu as well as shiro-gusu, are merely other 

 Japanese names for tabu-no-ki, previously referred to as the 

 food plant on which I bred the larva ; that is, Machilus thunbergii. 

 The imago flies from May to September. Matsumura also gives 

 Machilus japonica S. and Z. (ao-gashi) as a food plant. 



Jordan states 13 that "sarpedon occurs from China and South 

 Japan to the Solomon Islands in numerous geographical forms." 



The forms which are geographically connected with China, 

 Japan, and the Philippines are as follows: 



Papilio nippo7ius Fruhst. (= morins Fruhst.), Seitz, 1, PI. 8c (described 

 as sarpedon), from Japan and the Loochoo Islands (Ryukyu). 



Papilio sarpedonides Fruhst., f. vern., spring form from Japan. 



Papilio nipponus is the Japanese race separated into spring and summer 

 forms which differ in the bands of the forewing being broad in sarpedo- 

 nides and narrower in nipponus. 



Papilio connectens Fruhst., from Formosa and Loochoo Islands (Ryukyu). 



Papilio semifasciatus Honr., from southeastern, central, and western China. 



Papilio sarpedon Linn., typical (= demophon Meerb. nee. Linn.; demophoon 

 Shaw; luctatius Fruhst.; hagus Fruhst.; colus Fruhst.); (Seitz, 9, pi. 

 44d) ; distributed from Hainan, Tonkin, and North India to the Philip- 

 pines and Lombok. In the broad-banded specimens the median and 

 submedian veins are more or less white inside the band of the forewing. 

 In the summer specimens of the northern districts, f. aest. melas Fruhst. 

 (= demophoon Shaw), the band is narrower and the veins are black.
