PAPILIO. By Dr. K. Jordan. 
in gigon, in which case, however, the veins of this hand are more broadly dusted with white-yellow towards 
mangolinus. the base than in neriodes; the marginal spots of the hindwing beneath larger in both sexes than in gigon. — mango- 
Iinus Fruhst. On the under surface of the hindwing the yellow margining of the cell always broad and the first 
black discal patch smaller than in gigon and neriotes; Sulla Islands: Mangola and Besi. 
antonio. P. antonio Hew. (21 b) is only known from Mindanao, and the butterfly seems to he rarely observed. 
Forewing above at the hindmargin with triangular white area, which forms the continuation of a large white area 
of the hindwing; both areas also present beneath. The hindwing beneath with a continuous row of pale yellow 
submarginal spots, the posterior spots more ochreous. The $ quite similar to the $, the white areas somewhat 
larger. — Nothing is known as to the habits and the earlier stages. 
noblei. P. noblei Nicev. (— henricus Oberth.) (21 b). Very similar to the preceding species, but the genitalia 
quite different. The white spot at the hindmargin of the forewing small, the white area of the hindwing likewise 
smaller than in P. antonio, only reaching the 2. radial, the costal part of the area especially much narrower than 
in antonio. The submarginal spots of the hindwing beneath lunular, dark oclire-colour. The body beneath more 
extended pale yellowish than in antonio. — Upper and Lower Burma, Upper Tenasserim, Central Tonkin. The <$<$ 
rest on the moist sand of the shady banks of rivers; they are very shy and fly up at the least noise, disappearing 
high above the tree-tops, whence they only return after half an hour or an hour. The $$ were only taken 
on Lantana-bushes. 
P. nephelus. Similar to chaon and helenus. Palpi laterally quite white. Forewing with white marginal 
dots, of which the one placed at the apex is the largest; the q without scent-stripes; distally to the apex of the 
cell an oblique band of white spots, which is sometimes entirely absent above, hut in that case is still indicated 
beneath; hindwing with a chalky white area, which consists of at least 5 patches of which the 4. is the longest 
(in hele?ius, chaon, iswarci and iswaroides the 3. is the longest), above no submarginal spots, hut beneath a nearly 
always complete row of white submarginal lunules, of which the 4. and 5. as in P. chaon are usually joined to 
the marginal spots, the white discal area prolonged to the abdominal margin, but the last spot often very small. 
$ much paler than the the white markings larger and mostly somewhat yellowish above. Malacca to Java 
and Borneo. Flies in the same localities as P. helenus, but does not ascend so high and is not so common. It 
is a restless and very swift flier, which is fond of visiting flowers, at which, however, it never feeds for more 
than a short time. The larva resembles that of helenus and lives on Citrus; the pupal stage lasts about 14 days 
saturnus. (Martin). —saturnus Guer. (— neptunus Guer. in tab.) (22 a). Forewing on both sides with white subapical 
band, the last spot of the band long and narrow; the white area of the hindwing on the upper surface consists 
albolineatus. in and $ of 5 patches. Malay Peninsula, Penang. •— albolineatus Forbes. The spots of the subapical 
hand and the 5. patch of the area of the hindwing on the whole somewhat larger than in saturnus; in the $ the 
area of the hindwing also above extended to the abdominal margin; the two last spots sometimes indicated 
siporanus. also in the U- Sumatra and Borneo. — siporanus Hagen, from Pora, Mentawei Islands (west of Sumatra); 
only 1 $ known. The white markings larger than in the preceding forms, the vellow-white spot placed before 
the hindmargin of the forewing above anteriorly continued so far that it joins the broad subapical band; the 
tellonus. white area of the hindwing extended to the abdominal margin, the apex of the cell in both wings white. — tel- 
lonus Fruhst., from the Batu Islands. Probably not different from siporanus, but as only are known, 
the question cannot as yet be settled. The subapical spots of the forewing larger than in the other forms 
with the exception of siporamis, before the hindmargin of the forewing also above a white spot; the white area 
uranus. of the hindwing above consists of 6 patches and there are usually also traces of a 7. spot present. — uranus Weym. 
(22 b), from Nias. The subapical band is wanting on the upper surface (<$) or is only weakly indicated ($). 
nephelus. Apparently common. — nephelus Bdv. (22 b) occurs on Java; the statement of earlier authors that it also flies 
on Celebes is certainly incorrect. The subapical spots sharply developed, hut smaller than in saturnus and albo¬ 
lineatus, more widely separated, before the hindmargin of the forewing above also in the $ nO distinct yellow 
spot, the white area of the hindwing above consists in and $ of 5 patches. Beneath the forewdng before the 
apex and the hindwing from the base to the white area are more thickly scaled with yellowish than in saturnus 
and albolineatus. 
P. nubilus. Similar to P. nephelus; small, the subapical spots of the forewing not sharply defined either 
above or beneath, more or less dusted with black, the 3. and 4. spots placed much nearer to the cell than in 
P. nephelus, the 4. far removed from the distal margin; hindwing above with white discal band consisting of 
7 patches, of which the 3. and 4. are the longest, no submarginal spots above, beneath a complete row, all white, 
nubilus smaller than in P. nephelus, especially the 4., 5. and 6. The $ not known. Borneo and Sumatra. •— nubilus Stgr.,
