PAPILIO. 525 
Pupa green, with lateral and dorsal longitudinal yellowisli streaks. Feeds on Cinnamomenm." 
(Moore, I. c.) 
Common throughout Central and Southern Japan, and Pratt and Krichel- 
dorfF obtained it in most of the places in which they collected in China. It 
has an exceedingly rapid flight, but is fond of settling on flowering shrubs, 
and on wet places on roads, when its capture may be effected. There are 
several broods in the year, and the butterfly is on the wing almost throughout 
the summer. 
In Japan the individuals of the first brood are usually smaller than those 
occurring later in the year. The transverse band varies in width and is 
more distinctly interrupted in some specimens than in others. Mr. Butler 
(Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) vii. p. 133) records P. teredon, Felder, from 
Nikko in Central Japan ; this is the Ceylon form of the species, and, according 
to Moore's figure, only diflers from typical sarpedon in the narrower band, and 
in having the anal angle of secondaries more produced. 
The species is also exceedingly variable in China. Some specimens agree 
with examples from Japan, while others have all the usual bluish markings 
replaced by yellowish green. A common form of variation is the more or less 
complete absence of the bluish central band on secondaries ; an extreme 
example of this form is figured in the ' Transactions of the London Entomo- 
logical Society,' J 889, pi. vii. fig. 2. An intermediate form has been described 
by M. Honrath as var semifasciatus : — "Die Hinterfliigel haben statt der 
Mittelbiude nur den grossen weissen Vorderrandflecken und daran nur eine, 
besonders auf der Oberseite ganz schwache Andeutung eines zweitcn 
Fleckens." [Honrath, Ent. Nach. 1888, p. 161.) 
Pryer says that the larva feeds on the evergreen MachUns thunhergii, and 
that it closely resembles the young leaves in colour.
