the colours too high. It differs from the preceding species by having 
the hind wings dentated. 
Species XI.—PAPILIO LEONIDAS. 
Syn. — Pap. Leonidas , Fabricius, &c. 
Papilio similis, Cramer, pi. 9, fig. A, B. 
Inhabits tropical Western Africa. In my own and several other 
London cabinets. This species has a striking analogy with some of 
the species of Danais. 
Species XII.—PAPILIO PYLADES. 
Syn. — Pap. Pylades, Fabricius. Donovan, Nat. Repos, vol. i. pi. 13. 
Inhabits tropical Western Africa. In the collections of Mr. Hope 
and the British Museum. Fabricius gives it as the type of his 
genus Zelima (Syst. Gloss, in Illig. Mag. vol. vi.), distinguish¬ 
ing it from Papilio by the “ palpi short, biarticulate ; second joint 
rounded at the apex; antennre long, clavate.”—(See Children in 
Phil. Mag. Feb. 1830, and Horslield, Lep. Jav.) 
Species XIII.—PAPILIO PODALIRIUS. 
Syn. — Papilio Podalirius . Linn. &c. 
Papilio Feisthamelii, Godart; Dup. Suppl. pi. 1, fig. 1 (variety). 
M. Boisduval considers the P. Feisthamelii of Duponchel as 
a local variety of the ordinary P. Podalirius peculiar to the 
south of Europe and north of Africa, having the ground colour 
of the wings whiter coloured and the anal spot brighter. 
Species XIV.—PAPILIO AGAPENOR. 
Sy N . — Pap. Agapenor , Fabr.; Jones, leones, 1, tab. 51 (nec Boisduval). 
Pap. Policenes , Cramer, pi. 37, fig. A. B. (e Surinamia at errore); Boisduval. 
Pap. Polixenus , Godart, Eqc. Meth. (ex Amer. Septentr. at errore). 
Pap. Scipio, Pal. Beauv. Ins. d’Afr. Lep. pi. 2, fig. 1. 
Fabricius (E. S. 8, part i. p. 26, No. 76) expressly describes this 
species as having a red stripe across the hind wings on the under 
side, and as a native of Africa, referring only to Jones’s leones, I, 
tab. 51. Specimens of this insect agreeing exactly with Jones’s 
figures from Sierra Leone and Asliantee are in the collections of 
the British Museum and Mr. Hope. It is further distinguished by 
the four straight transverse pale bars across the discoidal cell of the 
fore wings. 
Cramer, 1, p. 61, and pi. 37, fig. A, B, figures it under the 
name of Policenes , giving Surinam as its locality. Godart changed 
the name in the Encycl. Meth. 9, 52, to Polixe?ius, also giving
