very slightly) produced inferiorly ; never tailed. Black, with greenish 
or white discal and subinarginal series of spots, and basal patch in 
hind-wings, and often in fore-wings also. 
(Four species : P. Lconidas, Fab., P. Brasidas, Feld., P. Corinneus, 
Bertol., P. Morania, Angas.) 
Group 3. — P. Pemohus, Linn., representative. Sexes alike. Head 
smaller, not tufted frontally ; antennae longer, with a gradually-formed, 
usually slender club. Fore-wings intermediate in form between that 
of Group I and that of Group 2, rather rounded apically, but not (or 
slightly) concave hind-marginally. Hind-wings a good deal prolonged 
inferiorly, bearing on third median nervule either a more prominent 
dentation or a broad (in P. ophidicephalus also long) yellow-marked 
spatulate tail. Black with a common discal stripe (macular in fore- 
wings), and submarginal series of spots pale-yellow ; hind-wings usually 
with a blue, black, and red ocellus at apex and anal angle ; fore-wings 
beneath with several longitudinal very pale yellow streaks diverging 
from base. 
(Three species : P. Dcmoleus, Linn., P. ophidicephalns, Oberthiir, P. 
Const antiiius, Ward.) v 
Group 4. — P. Lyceiis, Doubl., representative. Sexes alike. Struc- 
turally close to Group 3, but fore-wings more pointed, and hind- wings 
with a broad blunt production inferiorly, bearing on third median 
nervule either a very prominent dentation or a short spatulate tail. 
Black with a common discal band and submarginal spots of submetallic 
greenish-blue or bluish-green. 
(One species : P. Lyocus, Doubl.) 
Group 5. — P. Cenca, Stoll, representative. Sexes extremely dif- 
ferent. Structurally very near Group 3 ; hind- wings without inferior 
blunt prolongation inferiorly of Group 4 ; in ^ bearing on third median 
nervule a long, somewhat spatulate broad tail ; in $ tailless. $ very 
pale sulphur-yellow, with a black border in fore-wings and a black 
discal band (usually more or less broken) in hind-wings ; $ black, 
with ochre-yellow, ochre-red, or wlnte discal and basal spots or 
patches, and small white submarginal spots, mimicking three species 
of Danaince. 
(One species : P, Cenca, Stoll.) 
Group 6. — P. Pupliranor, Trim., representative. Sexes alike, or 
not much unlike. Structurally near Group 4, but in colouring and 
in outline of hind-wings more like Group 3. Fore-wings bluntly sub- 
falcate ; hind-wings not produced as in Group 4, but bearing at end of 
third median nervule a rather short, more or less broadly-spatulate tail. 
Black, v/ith a common discal stripe (macular in fore-wings) and a 
series of submarginal spots, sulphur-yellow (in Euphranoi" $ this series
