PAPILIO. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
cell of the forewing either filled by a single white spot or with two spots, which however are only narrowly 
morania. or incompletely separated. — In morania Angas (7 b, c) the discal spot in cellule 2 of the forewing is large 
and completely fills up the base of the cellule; the white subdiscal spots of cellules 2—5 of the hindwing 
above are placed nearer to the inner margin than to the outer margin of the black marginal band; the mark- 
taboranus. ings yellowish or greenish white. Ovambo Land to Delagoa Bay. — taboranus Oberth. (7 b) has the markings 
of the upper surface snow-white; the discal band in cellule 2 of the forewing is smaller, not reaching the base 
of the cellule and is quite free; the white subdiscal spots of the hindwing above are almost in the middle 
of the marginal band. Nyassaland and German East Africa. 
Tynderaeus Group. 
Hindwing tailless, with rounded margin, which is angled at the ends of the veins or merely undulate. 
Wings above black-brown with green spots. Hindwing beneath at the base with one or several separated black 
dots or spots and distinct black dots or spots in the apex of the cell and in the basal part of cellules 1 c—7. 
This group connects the preceding one with the following, since cyrnus is allied to. morania and latreillianus to 
fulleri. The sexes are similar; the earlier stages still unknown. 
P. cyrnus. Forewing beneath broadly red at the base of the costal margin; veins of the hindwing 
beneath broadly edged with red or brown; forewing with 8 single submarginal spots, 8—10 discal spots and 
3 spots in the cell; hindwing with a large spot in the cell, 5 discal spots and 5 submarginal spots in cellules 
cyrnus. 1 b—5. — cyrnus Bdv. (3 c). The discal spot in cellule 1 a of the forewing is wanting and the spots in 1 b—3 
nuscyrus. are separated from one another. Madagascar. In ab. nuscyrus Suff. the discal spot in 1 a is present and 
the spots in cellules 1 b—3 are united; Madagascar. 
tynderaeus. P. tynderaeus F. (7 a). Forewing beneath not red at the base, with two submarginal spots in each 
cellule; the median band of the hindwing consists of a green spot in the cell and in 1 c, as well as a whitish 
spot in cellule 7; all the spots of the upper surface and also the discal spots of the under surface are vivid 
green, only becoming yellowish through discoloration (ab. ochrea Capr.); the palpi and the dots on frons and 
breast are red; the wings beneath with more or less purple sheen. — AVest African primeval forest region, 
from Sierra Leone to the Upper Congo. 
P. latreillianus. Margin of the hindwing slightly waved; palpi yellow; dots on frons and breast white; 
laireillianus, the spots of the under surface faint and yellowish, with a brassy sheen, never green. — latreillianus Godt. 
theorini. (3 d) is smaller; forewing above with distinct green submarginal dots. Sierra Leone. — theorini Auriv. (3 d). 
Larger; the forewing entirely without submarginal dots. Cameroons to Angola. 
Leonidas Group. 
Hindwing tailless, beneath at the base with one or several separated black dots, but without any dots 
in the middle of the wing. Wings above black or blackish with yellow, white or light blue markings. Larva 
with two spines on the first and the penultimate segment; segments 2 and 3 only angled at the sides, without 
spines. Pupa vertical in front, since the hump on the mesothorax extends as far forward as the head. 
1. Sub-Group. 
Both wings beneath without distinct dark longitudinal streaks on the folds between the veins and 
without dark longitudinal streaks in the cell of the hindwing. Both wings with submarginal spots. The discal 
spot of cellule 1 b of the forewing never reaches the base of the cellule. 
P. leonidas. Hindwing usually with free discal spots in cellules 2—5 and with a broad basal trans¬ 
verse band, which covers the greater part of the cell and the base of cellules 1 c, 2, 6 and 7. Forewing al¬ 
ways with discal spots in cellules 1 b, 3, 7 and 8, and usually also with small ones in 2, 4, 5 and 6; the cell 
leonidas. mostly with three spots. — leonidas F. (= similis Cr .) (7 d). All the spots light blue (U) or bluish white 
($); forewing without discal spot in cellule 1 a; the submarginal spots of both wings large; the discal spot 
of cellule 4 of the forewing is proximally rounded and does not reach the base of the cellule. Sierra Leone, 
in pla!ja A n g°l a > Delagoa Bay, British East Africa. In ab. (?) interniplaga Auriv. the forewing has a large discal 
onidale. spot in cellule 1 a, otherwise it is similar to the preceding form. German East Africa, ab. (?) onidale 
Suf. has the light basal part of the hindwing sprinkled with black scales, the veins in that part are mar¬ 
gined with black and the spots in cellules 1 c and 2 are small or entirely wanting; otherwise similar to the 
brasidas. form leonidas. German East Africa: Muanza. — brasidas Fldr. (7 d). Here the spots on the upper surface 
are small, white or yellowish white; the submarginal spots dot-like. No discal spot in cellule 1 a of the fore- 
umanus. wing. Angola to Natal. — umanus B. & J. differs from all the preceding in that the light basal transverse 
pelopidas. band of the hindwing only extends as far as the base of vein 2. Abyssinia. — pelopidas Oberth. The spots 
of the forewing light bluish, on an average somewhat larger than in leonidas, the discal spot in cellule 4 reaches 
the base of the cellule, the basal transverse band of the hindwing is very broad and almost pure wdrite, but 
the submarginal spots are small, dot-like, not larger than the discal spots. A little known form as yet, perhaps
