PAPILIONID^. 



anal est toujours bien marque chez les deux sexes, et cousiste en un gros point rond, tres 

 noir, surmonte d'un large iris d'un rouge orange, lequel est limite par une ligne d'un rose 

 violet qui se recourbe exterieurement jusqu'a la frange, et le tout encadre d'une ligne noire; 

 il y a independamment au dessous de la pupille, dans la premiere echancrure, une tache d'un 

 rouge orange qui est plus large chez la femelle. 



" Les quatre ailes sont frangees d'un blanc brillant au bord externe dcs superieures, et aux echan- 

 crures des inferieures, mais chez les femelles ces echancrures sont d'un fauve clair on dessoua : 

 ces ailes presentent leurs dents plus larges que chez le polyctor, surtout chez la femelle ou elles 

 sont plus arrondies a lour extremite. 



" Le corps est noir, saupoudre en dessus et sur les cotes d'atomes verts, mais la ligne longitudinale 

 noire est moins sensible que chez \e polyctor." (Menetries, I. c.) 



Yar. tutanus, Fenton, " Male. Primaries sharper above than typical P. dehaani ; the scattered 

 atoms are slightly brighter and greener and are aggregated in a transverse discal bar : below, 

 the broad whitish discal dash of the primaries of F. dchaaiii much narrower and less distinct, 

 and obsolete in some specimens ; the scattered ochreous scales of the secondaries are somewhat 

 paler and are aggregated (densely in some examples) in a curved transverse discal bar ; the 

 violet scales overarching the red submarginal lunules more numerous. There is the same 

 diflerence between the sexes ; both sexes vary in a like degree inter se. Generally larger. 

 Expanse of wings, (S 4 inches 8 lines to 5 inches 6 lines, 5 5 inches G lines to 5 inches 

 9 lines. 



" ' The summer brood makes its first appearance about the 26th of July, and 

 is on the wing till the middle of September. 



" P. tutanus and P. dehaani, near Hakodate, in the south of Hokkaido, are 

 found feeding together on the same excrement, though I never saw the males 

 of the latter in conflict with those of P. tutanus, or chasing the females, or 

 vice versd. Further north I did not see a single specimen of P. dehaani, and 

 P. tutanus became more abundant.' (Fenton.)

Male. Agrees with P. hianor in the character of sexual marks, but differs somewhat in colour. 

 Primaries black, thickly powdered with green scales and traversed by a submarginal band 

 formed of paler green scales. Secondaries black, costal area suil'uscd with blue, inner and 

 median areas powdered witli green scales ; there is a central band of paler green tinged with 

 bhie on coslal area ; submarginal lunulated band bluish green, and this colour is projected 

 along the third median nervulc almost to the extremity of the tail ; there is a more or less 

 com])leto rcddi.sh ring at anal angle ; outer margin sinuate; fringes white as in P. hUnior. 

 Under surface fuliginous ; primaries traversed by a broad pule ochreous band interrupted by 

 the neural ion and intcrnervular streaks; secondaries have tlio basal area sprinkled with 

 ochreous scales and are traversed by a broad pale ocliieous central l)and interrupted by the 

 veins ; tliere is a suljmarginal scries of six reddish marks and a more or less complete reddish 

 ring at anal angle ; fringes of each sinus ochreous, sometimes tinged with reddish at their 

 base.
