It is on the authority of Mr. Bates that Hiibn er’s figure is referred to as the female of this species ; he 
having sent specimens, which agree with the figure, as the female of the above-descrihed male. 
256. Papilio Parsodes. 
Papilio Parsodes, G. R. Gr. 
Male. PL VIII. f. 3. — The primary wings rather pointed and bluish black, with the summits clearer ; an 
oblique subtriangular space of greenish blue, which commences in the middle of the inner margin and reaches to 
nearly the first median nervule. The secondary wings deep hluish hlack, with the outer margin between the den- 
tations pinkish white ; a large space of carmine, somewhat obscured anteriorly by some black scales, is placed below 
the discoidal cell, and is divided into six spots by the nervules ; the first from the inner margin is only slightly 
apparent and linear, the second to the fifth are large and oblong, while the sixth is small and subtriangular. 
The under surface of the primary surface is deep black, with the summits clearer. The under surface of the 
secondary wings is deep black, with four small spots of pinkish white ; these are the posterior portions only of the 
large spots that are seen on the upper side ; there is also another subquadrate spot of pinkish white, which is not 
seen on the upper side. 
This sex is very like in general appearance to P. Lysander, Cr. ; hut the oblique band of this latter species is 
narrower towards the apex, and it extends only to the second median nervule, while it is of the same greenish blue 
colour. The secondary wings have only four oblong spots of carmine, and the fourth is always small and sub- 
quadrate. 
The two specimens of the male insect are contained in Mr. Wallace’s Collection, that exhibit some appearance 
of white on the outer side of the apex of the subtriangular space of greenish blue, which is more prominent on 
the under surface in the form of three unequal spots ; one between the second and third median nervules, while 
two are placed between the third median nervule and the submedian nervure. Otherwise these specimens were 
similar to the male previously described. 
Female. PI. VIII. f. 4. — The primary wings brownish black, with the summits clearer ; a white space near 
the middle wing, which is divided into three unequal spots, by the apical portion of the median nervure and the 
base of the second median nervule ; the spot between the second and third median nervules is the largest ; there 
is also a slight indication of a small linear spot below the third median nervule. The secondary wings deep 
brownish black, having the outer margin between the dentations white ; a curved transverse hand of seven 
distinct spots of very pale crimson ; the first five are of a lengthened form, hut the third, fourth and fifth are the 
largest, while the sixth and seventh are smaller and of a subquadrate form. 
The under surface of the primary wings is very similar to the upper side, both in colour and marking. The 
under surface of the secondary wings is also similar ; hut the seven spots are smaller and of a pinkish white, with 
some scattered hlack scales on the anterior portion of each spot. 
It is on the authority of Mr. Bates that these are considered sexes of the same species.
