The same observation may be applied to this South American species as to the 
last, — Stoll, who investigated the transformations of many of the Lepidoptera of 
Guiana, having described its preparatory states. The caterpillar is of a dark green 
colour, with the head blue, and the legs and anal fork yellow. It is armed with black 
branching spines, of which the two anterior ones are by far the longest. The chrysalis is 
elongated, with the head bifid, and of a green colour. It appears to be a very variable 
species, as the Papilio Agatha and Merione of Fabricius, P. Laothoe of Herbst, and 
P. Ariadne of Cramer, are referred to it in the Encyclopedic Methodique,
