spring form, and differs principally from tehnona in the greater amount of 
black at base of wing, in having additional black markings on the disc, and in 
possessing a black interrupted submarginal band. 
Graeser (Berl. ent. Zeit. 1888, p. 63) states that he met with both broods, 
the first being on the wing in April and May, and the second in July, in a 
clearing in the forest at Poltafka, about 100 versts south of Yladivostock, near 
the Corean frontier. 
According to Dr. Staudinger, the brothers Dorries found the first brood of 
(S'. telamon in the Sutschan district on the l4th of May, when the specimens 
were rather worn ; larvae, mostly full-gi-own, were obtained on the 20th of June, 
and the second brood was on the wing from the 6th to the 20th of July. 
The second generation of larvse were full-grown by the middle of August. 
The species was plentiful, but only occurred in one locality where there had 
formerly been some Chinese huts. 
He states that the larva, which feeds on Aristolochia, is from 37-39 millim. 
long, and similar in form to that of a Thais. The whole body is covered 
with warts emitting short thick hairs, and there are conical Avarts bearing tufts 
of rather longer hairs on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th segments. The 1st segment 
has a long haired projection on each side and retractile horns on the dorsal 
surface, as in Papilio machaon. In colour it is black, with six rows of small 
round brownish spots on which the warts are placed ; the dorsal rows of spots 
are the largest. 
Pupa 18-22 millim. in length ; secured by a silken gu'dle as in Thais. 
Dirty brown streaked with darker; there are two short projections from the 
anterior end, a roAv of sharp thorn-like projections along the back, the first 
two are double ; the posterior end is truncate. 
The examples of the second or summer brood of S. telamon, from Amurlaud, 
agree in most characters with the specimens met with in numbers by Herz to 
the north of Pekin. They are, however, rather larger, and the black markings 
in the male are broader and more numerous. The females especially are 
darker than Chinese specimens, and some of them are so dark that they might 
be described as black with small partly obscured yellow transverse markings. 
The largest male measures 67 miEim. and the largest female 64 millim. in 
expanse; whilst the smallest example of each sex expands only 56 and 
oi millim. respectively, but the male average expansion is over 60 millim. 
Dr. Staudino-cr has named the form to which the above remarks refer var.
