PAPILIONIN^. 
215 
Larva (second moult). — Yellowisli-grcen above, paler on the sides, 
pale-green beneath; back of segments 3, 4, and 5 occupied by a 
lozenge-shaped space of rich dark-green. A median dorsal narrow 
stripe, whitish on thoracic segments, but beyond that dull pinkish- 
yellow, edged on both sides with dark-green. Second segment reddish- 
brown superiorly, with a short but acute tubercular process on eacli 
side ; third and fourth segments each bearing dorso-laterally a pair of 
short acute yellow tubercular processes, edged inwardly and basally by 
an ovate black spot, and connected by a transverse reddisli-brown 
band ; a blackish line runs longitudinally from each ovate black spot 
on third segment to the reddish-brown second segment. On each side, 
from sixth to last segment, a series of seven oblique slender dark-green 
lines ; also a longitudinal (spiracular) dull-whitish stripe, commencing 
superiorly on third segment, curving downward on fifth, and thence run- 
ning straight to extremity. Anal segment bearing superiorly a pair of 
rather long acute divergent processes. Eetractile forked scent organ 
of second segment deep indigo-blue. 
(Adult). — Paler and brighter green above, and of a bluer tint be- 
neath. Dorsal markings, except reddish-brown of second segment and 
black spots of third and fourth segments, apparently very much fainter 
and partly obsolete ; and the dorsal and lateral stripes thinner dark- 
green. SeGjmental incisions marked, shining^. 
Pood-plant Fojmuia Caffra, a climbing shrub of the family Ano- 
nacece (H. C. Harford, m einst.). 
Pupa. — Semi-transparent. Bright yellowish-green. On each side 
of back, from apex of dorso-thoracic projection to anal extremity, a 
narrow ochrey-yellow marginal ridged or elevated narrow stripe ; on 
summit of back a pair of similar ridged stripes, commencing abruptly 
and considerably apart near base of dorso-thoracic projection, and con- 
verging till they meet at anal extremity ; a slender dark-green dorsal 
median line. On each side, a series of oblique thin streaks, rather 
darker than ground-colour, extending from near dorsal median line to 
marginal yellow ridge (and beyond it on cephalic area). 
Very thick and robust, especially towards head, which is remark- 
ably blunt and sub-rotund. Dorsally much concaved and widened 
about middle ; dorso-thoracic peak prolonged upward and forward a 
good deal beyond front of head, and slightly curved ; anal extremity 
elongate and attenuated. Attached to mid-rib or to foot-stalk and 
mid-rib of under side of leaves ; usually head downward. 
The above description of the larva is made from drawings and 
notes of Katalian examples furnished by Captain H. C. Harford in 
1869 and 1872 ; that of the pupa is from living Natalian specimens 
received from Colonel Bowker in 1878.^ With the latter arrived two 
^ In 1879 I obtained Mr. W. D. Gooch's excellent figures and notes of Natalian 
lepidopterous larvjB, among which are pencil outlines (with remarks) of the early stages of 
this Papilio quite confirmatory of Captain Harford's.
