Imago.— Wings short, broad. Forewing triangular ; costa arched, apex rounded. 
Hindwing convex and scalloped externally, with a more or less developed spatular

short; antennal club moderately stout. Sexes, in the normal form, similar. lemale 
polymorphic ; second and third form mimics of other Papilioninm. 
Larva. —Smooth, glossy; attenuated posteriorly; anterior segments swollen 
and scutellated; twelfth segment with a pair of small pointed tubercles; front of 
second segment projecting, truncated, and, when irritated, it thence exserts a 
blood-red retractile branched tentacle emitting an offensive odour. 
Pupa. —Curved anteriorly backward ; head flattened and bifid in front; thorax 
conically pointed in front and tuberculate laterally ; wing cases laterally dilated and 
slightly tuberculate; abdominal segments with slight dorsal tubercles. 
Tvpe. —L. Pammon.

* We use Pammon as the proper name for this butterfly in preference to that of Pulytes— both names 
appearing on the same page in Syst. Nat. Pammon applies to both sexes of the normal form of the species, 
and Pulytes to that of one of the subsequently-developed mimetic forms of the female.
