PAPILIO. By Dr. C. Aueiyillius. 
junodi. P. junodi Trim. Very nearly allied^to the preceding species and only differing from it in that 
the markings of the upper surface are greenish white, the basal spot of cellule 2 of the hindwing is large 
also beneath, the submarginal spots on the upperside of the hindwing and in cellules lb to 5 of the forewing are 
very small or absent; of the discal spots of the hindwing those of cellules 2 and 3 are completely absent, 
those of cellules 4 and 5 are small and the one in cellule 6 is rather large, rounded posteriorly. Delagoa Bay. 
porthaon. P. porthaon Hew. (8 c). The last three transverse bars in the cell of the forewing deeply curved in S- 
shape; the markings of the upper surface all yellowish white and the hindwing above without red spots; the hind¬ 
wing with discal spots in cellules 2 to 5; the ornamental band of the hindwing complete, formed of red spots 
or streaks in celhtles 1 c to 8, but without red spot in the middle cell. The adult larva is velvety green, with 
a variegated transverse band on each segment, composed of a white central line and on each side of this 
a^ black-brown, a green-yellow and again a black-brown transverse line; it lives on an Anonacea. The pupa is 
grey-black with a row of black dots on each side of the abdomen; the horn on the mesothorax is shorter than 
adjedus. in the pupa of policenes. Delagoa Bay to British East Africa. — ab. adjectus Thur ., from German East Africa, 
only differs in that the hindwing “has in celhde 3, in the sinus of the median band below the middle cell, 
a streak of about 3 mm. length in the greenish white ground-colour”. 
colonna. P. colonna Ward (8 c). The markings of the upper surface green, only two transverse streaks of the 
hindwing in cellules 1 c and 2 red; the ground-colour darker than in the preceding species, almost pure black; 
distinguished from all the preceding species by having the discal spot in cellule lb of the forewing very narrow, 
streak-like, and forming a direct continuation of the second transverse bar of the middle cell, and further by 
having the discal spot in cellule 2 of the forewing also narrow and placed almost exactly at the middle of vein 2; 
the hindwing entirely without green discal spots. The larva is yellowish green with a violet-brown lateral line; 
the spines on the second and third segments are not simple as normally, but bear small spines; it lives on 
an Anonacea of the genus Art abotrys. The pupa is light bluish green and uneven, so that it is deceptively similar 
to a leaf partly eaten by larvae; the silken girth of the pupa is very thin and often breaks off, so that the 
pupa hangs quite free like that of a Nymphalid. On the east coast of Africa, from Delagoa Bay to British 
loncona. East Africa. — ab. loncona Sujf. only differs in having the narrow green median band of the hindwing 
posteriorly bounded by the median and hence not forming the usual spot in the base of cellule 2. German 
East Africa. 
Kirbyi Group. 
The hindwing is tailed as in the policenes- group and the kirbyi- group also agrees in the other distinguishing marks 
so nearly with the former that it can scarcely be distinguished from it except by the unicolorous black middle cell of the 
forewing and the absence of the submarginal spots of the same wing. The markings of the upper surface consist only of 
a narrow median band, which, however, is continuous from the costal margin of the forewing to the middle of the inner 
margin of the hindwiug and composed of 8 to 9 spots on the forewing (in cellules 1 a to 6 or 7 and 8) and 4 spots on the 
hindwing (in cellules 1 c, 6, 7 and the middle cell), and of 4 to 6 submarginal spots on the hindwing. The hindwing above 
without red spots. The ornamental band of the hindwing beneath is well developed and consists of red, black-bordered bars in 
cellules 1 c, 2, 3, 7 and in the apex of the middle cell. The early stages are unknown. 
ilhyris. P. illyris Hew. (8 a). The markings of the upper surface yellow; the median band curved slightly basad 
at the costal margin of the forewing and without spot in celhde 7; the tail of the hinclwing only white at the ex- 
flavisparsus. treme tip; the hindwing with red-yellow marginal lunules. Ashanti to the Congo. — ab. (var. ?) flavisparsus 
Fruhst. has the submarginal spots of the hindwing and the red spots on the under surface larger than 
in the normal form. Island of Fernando Po. 
P. kirbyi. The median band of the forewing quite straight to the costal margin and with a spot 
kirbyi. in cellule 7; the tail of the hindwing white almost to the middle. — In kirbyi Hew. (8 a) the markings of 
ottonis. the upper surface are whitish; from West Africa (Lagos) and British East Africa. - ottonis Auriv., from 
German East Africa (Usambara) has the markings of the upper surface green.
