Donovan states that the accompanying figures represent the male insect, the 
female being rather larger, with the colours on the underside more obscure, and the 
silvery stripes broader. The authors of the Encyclopedic Methodique describe the 
male as possessing a shining violet tinge on the upper side, whence the accompanying 
figures must be females, and the supposed female rather a dark variety of their sex.

In the Encyclopedic Methodique this figure, and that of Drury, {vol. 3, pi. 26.) 
are considered as the Papilio Phaleros of Linnaeus. The insect here represented is a 
male, according to the distinctions given in the Encyclopedic, but it has not the large 
orbicular brown spot near the middle of the anterior wings, so that it is, perhaps, 
doubtful whether the P. Phaleros, Linnaeus, and the P. Chiton, Fabricius, be really 
identical, as Donovan had suggested.
