PAPILIO MEMNON. 
that authors would probably never have thought of 
associating them, had they not been reared from 
the same description of caterpillar. The male is 
entirely without the basal red spot, and the dark 
ground colour has a greenish reflection ; the upper 
■wings have a red or ochreous spot at the base on 
the under side, and there are likewise four small red 
marks on the same part of the inferior wings : the 
latter are deep black anteriorly and cinereous behind ; 
the cinereous portions containing two rows of deep 
black rounded spots, that next the anal angle 
encircled with yellow. P. Androgeos of Cramer 
(pi. 91, A. B.) is a variety of this sex, while the 
P. Anceus, and P. Laomcdon, of the same icono- 
graphist are varieties of the female. 
The caterpillar, which feeds on the different kinds 
of Citrus , is described by Dr. Horsfield as of a green 
colour, with an ocelliform lateral mark on the third 
segment, and a transverse white hand ; a hand of 
pale green between the fourth and fifth segments, 
and an oblique white stripe on the eighth and ninth ; 
the anal segment likewise of that colour. The ante- 
rior part of the body is considerably attenuated, 
similar to what is observed in the caterpillars of 
many of the Hawkmoths. Chrysalis green, reddish- 
yellow on the back. 
This insect is found in China, and the islands of 
the Indian Ocean, and is rather a common species.
