PAPILIONID.E. 



Staudinger states that he has typical maacki from North China. 



Graeser obtained larvae of both broods of P. maacki in Amurland. He 

 states that they were found feeding on Phellodendron, and that some of the 

 pupge of the summer brood remain in that state through the winter, and of 

 the imagines resulting from these hibernated pupse, one of the female 

 examples measured 90 millim.,but with all the other characters of YRx.raddei. 



Pryer gives as the larval food " ^gle sejiiaria and other kinds of orange- 

 trees." 



Distribution. Amurland, Japan, Corea, and N. China. 



Papilio dialis. (Plate XXXII. fig. 4, d .) 



Papilio dialis, Leech^ Entomologist, xxvi., Suppl. p. 104 (1893). 



Male. Closely resembles P. Manor, but there is no patch of silky hairs between the first median 

 nervule and the submedian nervure, and the patches on the veins are composed of shorter 

 hairs. The primaries are black, sprinkled with brouzj--green scales, except on the venation 

 and broad raya between the nervules. Secondaries black, thickly powdered with greenish 

 scales, those on the costal half and on the tails being bluish, and those on other portions of 

 the wing bronzy; there is a broad annular mark at anal angle, a lunule in first median inter- 

 space, and another in discoidal interspace — all these marks are rod clashed witii lilacine on 

 their upper edges. Under surface of primaries pale grey, merging into white on the outer 

 two-thirds of inner marginal area ; all tho nervules and streaks between them are broadly 

 black, and there are four nerve-like black streaks in the discoidal cell : secondaries velvety 

 black, sprinkled on the basal and abdominal areas and on the tails with metallic-green scales ; 

 there is a series of seven red irregular-shaped lunulcs on the outer margin, the sixth is united 

 with the seventh by a broad projection from the lower edge of tho latter, and its upper 

 extremity almost unites with the lower end of the fifth lunule. 



Expanse 130 millim. 



One example taken at Chia-ting-fu in July. 



This species is most readily distinguislied from P. lianor, P. maacki, Sec, 

 by the different arrangement of the silky sexual brands on the primaries of the 

 male.
