PAPILIONI^s^/E. 
2 I I 
Larva. — Dull yellowisli-green, with an interrupted brownish 
longitudinal streak along each side of the back. Sides of posterior 
half dark-brown ; in one place (apparently on ninth segment) the 
strongly sinuated dorsal margins of this dark-brown closely approxi- 
mate. Head brownish-sandy. Each of the three thoracic segments 
bearing dorso-laterally a pair of short forward- and laterally-pointing 
tubercular projections, — the second and third pairs clustered with 
small spines. 
Pupa. — Pale bluish-green. Margin expanded laterally about wing- 
covers, but constricted in two places towards head, so that the outline 
viewed dorsally or ventrally is sinuated. Dorsal thoracic projection 
and upper part of edge of wing-covers inferiorly roughened with brown 
granules, which in the latter part are inferiorly edged conspicuously 
with white. 
These descriptions of the earlier stages were made from drawings 
by Mrs. Monteiro, which she kindly lent to me in the year 1883. 
This strikingly handsome " S^vallo^y-Tail," originally described from ex- 
amples taken at Ribe near Mombas, has been since recorded from other more 
southern stations, but seems limited in range to the Eastern Coast of Africa, 
where it occurs extra-tropically at Delagoa Bay. Oberthiir notes that it was 
collected in some abundance by M. Raffray on the coast opposite Zanzibar. 
Mrs. Monteiro informed me that it was common at Delagoa Bay ; she noticed 
that it seldom flew high, but kept about two feet from the ground, pursuing a 
circular course in and about dense bush.
