PAPILIONID^. 



Female {fortunei, Gray). " The fore wings are yellowish white, with many irregular hlack spots 

 which vary in size, some of them so placed that they apparently form five hands across the 

 wing ; the external margin is also black. The hind wings also yellowish white, with a 

 basal band and three irregular curved bands of black spots ; the second band from the base 

 is broadest at the anterior angle, and marked with a small crimson spot ; while that portion 

 towards the anal angle is margined exteriorly by an irregular crimson band, which extends 

 from the angle to the fifth nervure, the third or marginal band is ornamented on the deep 

 black below the crimson by a scries of pale blue luues. The under surfaces of all the wings 

 are less prominently marked, otherwise they are similar to the upper side, excejit that on 

 the fore wings there are two crimson spots, one on the band near the costal area, and the 

 other on the posterior margin. 



" Found, according to Mr. Fortune, on the sides of the hills." (Graij, P. Z. S.)

 particulars : — 



"Fore wings have the fifth transverse black band connected M'ith the margin by dilated black 

 nervules, forming a submarginal row of small yellow lunes. 



" Hind wings have the crimson band wider, and the two last sections are lunate, and separated 

 from each other and the remainder of the band by intervening black lines, below this, four 

 jiale blue lunes: a very large yellow patch on the costal mai'giu near the outer angle; a large 

 luue of the same colour, situated on the angle : tail, yellow at base and tip, intermediate 

 portion black, very long, 1-25 inches, and narrower than in any other species of the genus. 



" Below : the primaries have four red spots, two just beyond the extremity of the discoidal 

 cell, and the others on the inner margin. Secondaries, have two red spots on the costal 

 border, and the space posterior to the crimson band is irrorated with blue atoms, not formed 

 into distinct figures, but covering the whole surface. 



" Thorax and head black, a yellow line on each side of the thorax, below yellow, witli red spots. 

 Abdomen yellow, a broad dorsal band, two rows of lateral dots, and two ventral rays, all

Var. telmona, Gray. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 7, c? •) J^^ale. "The fore wings ocluaceous, with 

 llie base black, and the other black markings placed as in S. montela, though not quite so 

 prominent, but the shori. band which crosses the wing just beyond the costal area and the 

 spot on the posterior margin are both ornamented with a small crimson spot. The hind 

 wings have the inner margin l)]ack, and are witliout the basal sj)ot in the costal area; the 

 crimson band at tlie anal angle extends, as in >S. fortanei, to the tilth nervure, and like it also 

 the s])()t on tlic anterior margin is ornamented by a crimson mark, Mhidi is more equally 

 jihifcd with the conunonccment of tlie ci'imson band that advances to the anal angle than in 

 the otlier species ; the black s])aco at the anal angle is h-ss in size, but is furnished with blue 

 lunes. The under surface of the fore Avings i.s marked like the ui)])er side. 'J'liat of the 

 hind wings is also similar to the; upper side, but the black sjiots on the anterior margin are 

 l>otli ornamented with crimson ; the lengthened crimson band is marked between the second 

 and third nervurcs from the anal angle with a while luiu^, and there is also a less (piantity of 

 V)]ack at the anal angle." (Oray, P. Z. >S'.)
