P. Glaucippe is an elegant insect : very common in China, and it is said, in some 

 adjacent parts of Asia, also Bengal, Java, &c. The Papilio Callirrhoe of Linnseus is 

 considered as the female of this species : few authors deem it more than a variety (j8). 

 Dr. Horsfield has described and figured the caterpillar and chrysalis of this species in hi> 

 work upon the Lepidoptera of Java above referred.
