PAPILIO. By Dr. G. Aurivillius. 23 
a separate species, although it agrees very closely with leonidas in the markings. German East Africa and 
Pemba Island. 
2. Sub-Group. 
Wings beneath with distinct dark longitudinal streaks on the folds between the veins and with dark 
longitudinal stripes in the cell. 
P. levassori Oberth. (9 b). The greater part of the wings above is yellowish white, but the following 
parts are black: the costal margin of the forewing as far as the cell and on the hindwing the apex, which is 
adorned with two light spots in cellules 7 and 8, and a marginal line, only 1 mm broad between vein 5 
and the hinder angle, which is somewhat widened at the apical angle and there encloses two light spots. — 
Great Comoro. 
P. hachei Dew. Forewing black to blackish with a yellowish white half-band, which is very broad at the 
hindmargin, reaches vein 5 and is there connected with a large, similarly coloured spot in the apical half 
of the cell; this band completely covers the base of cellule 2 and only leaves the innermost part of cellule 
1 b free; hindwing above from the base to considerably beyond the apex of the cell pure white with an un¬ 
spotted black marginal band about 5 mm broad, which is narrowed towards the costal angle. — Congo region. 
P. moebii Suff. (9 c) is very similar to the preceding species and only differs essentially from it in 
that the white band of the forewing is somewhat narrower and leaves the base of cellule 2 free and that of 
the hindwing is only 12 mm broad and reaches neither the base nor the apex of the cell. — Congo region. 
P. auriger Btlr. (8 b). Wings above black with white median band, about 10 mm broad, interrupted 
in cellule 5 of the forewing, and without submarginal spots; hindwing beneath at the base deep black with 
an orange-yellow spot at the base of the costal margin. — Gaboon. 
P. ucalegon. Abdomen with triangular whitish lateral spots; both wings without submarginal spots; 
median band formed almost as in auriger ; hindwing beneath at the base yellow-brown to light red-brown, 
with three black dots (in cellules 7 and 8 and in the cell), of which the one in the cell is spotted with white. 
— ucalegon Hew. (3 b) has the median band above greenish white, beneath on the hindwing of the same 
colour and sharply defined at both sides; the spot in the cell of the forewing is usually small and elliptical, 
but sometimes entirely absent (ab. legonuca Suff.). Old Calabar; Cameroons; Gaboon. —- In simoni Auriv. 
the median band is almost pure white, beneath on the hindwing sharply defined at both sides; the spot in 
the cell of the forewing is large, triangular and its apex often reaches the front margin of the cell, forming 
a transverse band much narrowed anteriorly. In the northern part of the Congo region. — ucalegonides 
Stgr. has the median band more or less yellowish, beneath on the hindwing indistinctly defined and not 
sharply prominent; the discal spots of the forewing are very inconstant, so that sometimes one, sometimes 
the other is small or absent, the band being interrupted. In the central and southern districts of the Congo 
region. 
P. phrynon Druce. Forewing red-brown, a cream-coloured, broken spot near to the apex larger than 
in ucalegon-, a streak in the cell along the hindmargin and a long, angular spot in cellule 3, which almost 
reaches the margin, cream-coloured; a cream-coloured spot at the middle of the hindmargin in cellule 1 a and 
a large similar spot in lb; hindwing gold-brown with broad cream-coloured median band; hindwing beneath 
lighter than above, with black veins and dark red-brown basal area, but without light median band. This 
form (unknown to me) is perhaps only an aberration of ucalegonides in which the discal spots 2, 4 and 5 of 
the forewing are entirely wanting. — Upper Congo. 
The following species are distinguished from the preceding in that the broad black marginal band of the 
hindwing is always ornamented with light spots. The wings have a common light median band, which does not 
reach the base of the hindwing and is interrupted in cellule 5 of the forewing. Hindwing beneath without 
black basal, dot in cellule 7 and consequently with only two such dots. Hindwing with 3—8 usually double sub¬ 
marginal spots. 
P. fulleri Smith. The markings light yellow; the median band formed almost exactly as in ucalegon-, 
cell of the forewing with an apical spot and a streak at the hindmargin between veins 3 and 4; hindwing 
with two submarginal dots each in cellules 2—6 and with three large discal spots about in the middle of 
cellules 2—4, beneath red at the base. — Cameroons. 
P. aurivilliusi Seeldr. Markings white, slightly suffused with greenish; discal spots 1 a and 1 b of 
the forewing do not cover the base of these cellules; both wings with two small streak-like submarginal 
spots in each cellule; hindwing above with a single discal spot in each of cellules 2—4; the white basal spot 
of cellule 2 of the hindwing obliquely cut off distally and sharply defined; the cell of the forewing with 3—4 
white longitudinal streaks opposite to cellule 3 and with a white costal marginal spot just before the apex. 
—- Congo region. 
P. agamedes Westw. (3 c). Markings white; the median band of the forewing continuous to vein 5, 
not covering the base of cellules 1 a and 1 b; the large white spot in the cell of the forewing (opposite to
