wing covers the apex of the cell as well as the base of cellules 3 — -5; hindwing with 5' — 6 submarginal spots 
(in cellules 2 — 7), of which those of cellules 3—6 are almost equally large. Both sexes with a red spot at 
the anal angle of the hindwing. — Nyassaland and German East Africa.

wing (but is there accompanied by 3 small spots in cellules 3—5) and is composed on the forewing of 9 spots 
(in cellules 1 a—6, 8, 9); the spot in cellule 2 is not larger than that in 1 b; the hindwing above with 2 
(U) or 4 (§) submarginal spots in each cellule; frons with two light dots; forewing in the £ with a complete 
transverse row of 8 submarginal spots, curved somewhat in S-shape. •— From Kaffirland to the Transvaal. 
P. constantinus Ward (4 c). Wings beneath at the base with distinct black longitudinal streaks in 
the cell and in cellule 7 of the hindwing. Both wings above with yellowish spots, two in each cellule. Fore¬ 
wing with a light spot in the cell. The median band narrow, but complete, not covering the apex of the

the hindwing is directed towards the end of vein 2, and stands far beyond the cell; forewing in the 
typical form also with a yellow spot in the base of cellule 8. German East Africa (in the interior), British 
East Africa, Buwenzori. ab. immaculatus Suff. has no spot in the base of celulle 8 of the forewing. In ab. imjmacu-

s whitish in the U and yellow in the covers only the apex of the cell on the hindwing, is directed towards 
the anal angle and distally produced into long teeth on the veins; the hindwing has large marginal spots but 
no submarginal ones; the forewing has a perfectly straight row of 8 small submarginal spots, rounded or 
oval; the cell of the forewing with a transverse spot before the apex, which in the $ is broad and blue-grey,

Phorcas Group. 
Wings above black with green, greenish yellow or light markings, which are yellowish in the $. Hind- 
wing with a long tail at vein 4. The median band of the hindwing does not cover the extreme tip of the cell, 
but is often accompanied by small spots at the base of cellules 3 — 5 and in the and the similar form of the $ 
reaches very nearly to the base of the cell. In the $ the submarginal spots are present on both wings and 
often two in each cellule, in the $ usually only the spot in cellule 7 of the forewing is distinct and green. 
Forewing in the $ without pilose hairs. $ dimorphic; one form is similar to the and has green markings, the 
other closely approaches the species euphranor and constantinus of the preceding group; it has yellowish markings 
and a narrow median band, which does not reach the base of the hindwing by some distance. Distinguished 
from the species of the preceding group by the large light lateral spots of the tail-appendage. 
P. phorcas. Cell of the forewing unicolorous black, without spots. — phorcas Cr. (b c). Median band phorcas. 
broad and vivid green, reaching the base of the hindwing and the proximal part of cellules 2 — 9 of the fore¬ 
wing, the spot in cellule 5 of the forewing present, but bounded anteriorly by the fold of the cellule and con¬ 
sequently not reaching vein 6. Submarginal spots 1 — 6 of the forewing entirely absent in the <$. The*discal 
spot in cellule 4 of the forewing only 5 — 5% mm long. Sierra Leone to the Niger; Buwenzori. $-f. ther- thersander. 
Sander F. (b c) has a light yellowish white median band, only about 7 mm broad on the hindwing, which 
leaves the base of this and of cellules 2 and 3 of the forewing free; discal spot 5 of the- forewing present. 
— congoanus Bothsch. is larger than phorcas and with a broader median band, the spot of which in cellule congoanus.

Bothsch. (— tippelskirchi Suff.) (6 c) differs from phorcas by the complete absence of the discal spot in cellule 
5 of the forewing; also the submarginal spots are distinct in the $. British East Africa; Uganda. §-f. ther- thersan-
