100. Papilio antijphates, 
Papilio antiphates, Cram., Pap. Exot., i.^ t. 72 (1779). 
Not very common, occurring chiefly in the " Happy 
Valley/' and first observed, March 3rd, 1892. An insect 
of powerful and graceful flight, and which soars higher 
than is the habit of most of its genus. 
101. Papilio sarpedon, 
Papilio sarpedon, Linn., Mus. Ulr., p. 196 (1764). 
This common, but very beautiful, butterfly is most 
partial to the flowers of Lantana camera, but from its 
swift flight and extreme wariness is difficult to capture. 
Fresh specimens were first seen on February 11th, these 
being very small ; some of those taken in May are much 
larger, and approach the Japanese form P. teredon, Feld, 
P. sarpedon is perhaps most plentiful in April. The 
form in which the band of blue-green spots on the hind- 
wings is obsolete (first noticed by Mr. J. H. Leech from 
Kiukiang in Central China, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1889, p. 115, 
pi. vii., fig. 2), occurs here very rarely. 
102. Papilio eurypilus. 
Papilio eurypilus, Linn., Syst. Nat., ed. x., p. 464 
(1758) j Clerck, Icones, ii., t.xxviii., fig. 2 (1764). 
Pap. telephus, Feld., Eeise Nov., Lep., i., p. 64(1865), 
Dist., Ehop. Malay., p. 351, fig. 109. 
Tolerably common, especially in April and May, the 
first example having been taken on March 12th, 1892. 
It is not as swift on the wing as P. sarpedon and 
agamemnon, and, like others of the genus, it is very fond 
of settling on damp sand in the heat of the day, and 
sucking the moisture ; it may then be very easily taken. 
103. Papilio agamemnon. 
Papilio agamemnon. Linn., Mus. Ulr., p. 202 (1764). 
Also common, but even more wary and rapid of flight 
than P. sarpedon. It is most frequently seen at the 
blossoms of the Lantana, and appears rather late in the 
season, the first specimen having been observed on March 
22nd, 1892.
