Papilionides. 
; Herrich-Schaffer (Corr.-Blatt zool.-min. Ver. Regensb. xxi. 
p^> 161-172) publishes his systematic revision of this group 
(Equitinaj lI.rSeh.). lie tabulates the genera^ 10 in number 
(/. c, p. 162)^ and gives a list of the species. 
GuenIse (Aim. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4“ s^r. vii. pp. 305-310) discusses the synonymy 
of Pupilio (eiieas and anchises (Linn.). Two species at least have been described 
and figured under the name of P. ceneas, namely: — 1. P. (Linn., Fab., 
Herbst) $ (Oram., Boisd., Dbld.) = $ (Esp.) j and 2. P. ceneidos 
(Esp.) = tineas S (Cram., God., Boisd.) = yargasus (Hiibn.). P. ceneas (Esp.) is 
probably a small individual of P. ciirymas. The males of the above two 
species are briefly characterized by Guende. The female of P. ceneas is doubt- 
ful : according to Felder it is P. marems (Iliibn.) ; but this is regarded by 
Boisduyal as the $ of P. anchises. The $ of P. amexdes is probably P. 
echemon (Iliibn.). Upon P. anchises Guen^e speaks with less certainty, and 
he thinks that the-'cf-bf Linne’s species has not been seen since his day. He 
ascribes this error in part to the citation of Merian’s figure by Linnd in addi- 
tion to that of Clerck, the former representing P. anchisiades. Boisduval 
seems to have described the true anchises ; and Guende here describes what 
he believes to be the $ of the species. 
Papilio anterior (Drury) has been discovered in Madagascar by Grandidier. 
Lucas, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, pp. xxviii & xlv. 
Depuiset publishes a note on the geographical distribution of Papilio an- 
tenor. He is inclined to think that the supposition of its occurrence in India 
is erroneous. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, p. xxiii. 
G. Semper publishes notes on the natural history of Papilio pammon 
(Linn.) andP. ayamemnon (Linn.). Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 
697-698.. 
G. Allard, in his list of Algerian Lepidoptera (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4“ s^r. 
vii. p. 312), notices P. podaUrius and machaoUf and states that the variety 
feisthamelii of the former seems to be the type in Algeria. 
0. F. Dubois figures a very dark variety of Pajhlio machaon, in which the 
orange-red spot of the hind wing is wanting. Arch. Cosmol. 1867, p. 160, 
pi. 8. fig. 1. 
Perty (Mitth. naturf. Ges. in Bern, 1867, p. 309) notices a specimen of 
Parnassius delius with indications ofgynandromorphism. 
Bellier de la Ciiavignerie notices the fact that some females of Par- 
nassius mnemosyne are destitute of the usual corneous sac, and suggests that 
this organ may have an important part to play in oviposition. Laboulbene, 
in connexion -with this, refers to the corneous sac in Doritis apollo. Bull. 
Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, p. iii. 
S. Ebrard notices the difference of colour in the chrysalids of Pajhlio 
machaoUj which he ascribes to the nature of the object to which the larva 
attaches itself in order to undergo its change. The chrysalids attached to 
plants and wood are gi’een, and those fixed to stones &c. gra 3 ^ He men- 
tions his having obtained a pale green chrysalis of P. jwdedirms ; but this was 
in an earthen pot. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, pp. Ixvii-lxviii. (Tlic question 
of the difierence of colour in pupto was discus.sed by Giraud, Gervais, IaiIouI- 
bene, Fallou, and Goossens.)
