LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS.

Papilio Parmatus, G. E. Gr. 
PI. III. f. 2. — The primary wings yellowish white, with the base slightly black, and five black hands across 
from the anterior margin towards the inner margin ; the first reaches to the inner margin, the second nearly 
so, but the third, fourth and fifth extend only to the median nervure, and these are broader than the former 
ones ; a broad black border along the outer margin which is divided into two bands by a narrow line of yellowish 
white, and this again is apparently separated by the nervules. The secondary wings yellowish white, with the 
base black, and then a band, which is a continuation of the first band of the primary wing, reaches only to the 
median nervure ; a black spot at the base between the first and second median nervules ; and in the middle of 
the space between the second and third median nervules is a black spot, having below it a white and a black line 
and then a white line ; along the outer margin is a broad black border, which is divided by a series of six white 
lunules ; the four next the anal angle are powdered above with grey, and with a black spot, small and somewhat 
rounded at the anal angle. 
The under surface of the primary wings is marked similarly to the upper side ; but it is white tinged with 
yellow at the base, and the bands are brown. The under surface of the secondary wings is white, having a brown 
band near and along the inner margin, which ends in a black line, a crimson line, and then a black line ; the anal 
angle white with a black spot ; a second irregular band crosses the wing near its middle, formed inwardly of 
black, then crimson, and outwardly of black ; tbis band is connected with the inner one by a black spot, having 
a crimson line outwardly ; the markings on the outer margin are similar to those of the upper side, but a portion 
of the band is brown at the anterior angle. 
This species is much allied to P. Anticrates, but the band on the under surface down the middle of the 
wing differs in several particulars, as is best exemplified in the figure.

Plate III. f. 1. — “Above, anterior wings whitish, slightly tinged at the base with greenish, the outer margin 
broadly fuscous black, divided by a whitish line extending from the second median nervule nearly to the anal 
angle ; near the base are two transverse fuscous bands, continued across the posterior wings beyond the middle ; 
a third band crosses the middle of the cell, extending beyond the median nervure ; a fourth covers the end of 
the cell, nearly touching the black border. Posterior wings tailed, with a broad fuscous black margin marked 
with a series of whitish lunules between the nervules, less defined towards the anal angle, where they are margined 
with bluish, the abdominal margin black ; the terminations of the two transverse bands marked by four yellowish 
lunules, bordered with black, of which two are placed outside the second band, two between these and the ab- 
dominal margin ; tails black, bordered with whitish. 
“ Below, all the wings with the markings nearly as above, but there is an indication of a second pale line in the 
dark margin of the anterior wings, and on the posterior wings two additional red lunules outside the second band 
near the costa. 
“ Head brown, white anteriorly ; antennae black. 
“ Thorax brown above, with two white lines anteriorly, below greyish white. Abdomen fuscous above, greyish 
white below. 
“ This species represents in Australia P. Nomius and P. Podalirius, and their allies.” — Ann. Nat. Hist.

PI. XIII. f. 6. — The primary wings yellowish white, with six bands across the wing black ; the first and 
second bands extend to the inner margin, the third to the fifth are short and reach only to the median nervure ;
