not unlike P. Machaon in its markings, but with a very small eye at 
the anal angle of the hind wings. It occurs in Eastern Siberia, in 
the district known as Amoorland, or that portion which borders on 
the Eiver Amoor on the confines of China ; it also occurs in the 
latter country, as well as Japan and Thibet. 
P. Xutlmlus, Brem. Lep. Ost. Sib. p. 4 (1864). — Bather smaller 
than the last, and of a yellower colour ; it also occurs in Eastern 
Siberia, and is considered by some to be a second brood of P. Xutlms. 
P. Maahii, Men. Bull. Acad. Pet. xvii. p. 212, n. 1 (1859); 
Brem. Lep. Ost. Sib. p. 3 (1864). — Expands 4-50 in. A large and 
splendid insect of Oriental aspect allied to P. Paris. The wings are 
black, the fore wings powdered with shining bluish green scales at 
the base, costa, and hind margins, the patch of green scales being 
thickest along the latter. Hind wings powdered with blue and 
green scales ; hind margins black, with a row of blue and violet 
crescents, one of these forming an indistinct eye at the anal angle. 
Habitat, Amoorland. 
P. Puuldei, Brem. Bull. Acad. Pet. iii. p. 462 (1861) ; Lep. 
Ost. Sib. p. 3 (1864). — Smaller than P. Maahii, expanding 3‘50in. 
Nearly similar to that species, but the green scales of more of a 
golden colour and less mixed with violet. There are two or three 
distinct brickdust-red spots beneath the hind marginal crescents 
of the hind wings, and an eye at the anal angle of the same 
colour, with a black centre. Considered by some to be the second 
brood of P. Maahii. Habitat, Amoorland.

Expands 1-80 in. This is a highly interesting little species, 
constituting a genus, in which the characters of Paiyilio and Thais 
are curiously blended. In outline it very much resembles Thais 
Cerisyi, but the hind wings are not so dentated, so that the tail is 
distinct, though short, as in Papilio PLospiton. The wings are 
sulphur-yellow ; the fore wings have black bands arranged almost 
exactly as in Papilio Podalirius ; the hind wiugs have the black 
* This species does not occur in Standinger’s Catalogue, having been described 
since the pubiication of tliat work, It, however, belongs to his “European” Eegion.
