base of vein 6 and vein long and bent inwards: vein 4 produced to a blunt tooth. Males with 
secondary sexual characters upon the liindwing. consisting of a cottony patch of scales and a fringe

The larvae feed iqoon Camphor laurel, and sioecimens bred in captivity lose nearly all their bluei 
colour. We have two aberrant examples, each with a large blue spot in cell of forewing. 
235. Papilio eurypylus Linne. (Moluccas). 
This species has almost the same range as sarpedon^ but has not yet been taken in the Solomon 
Islands. The larvae feed upon the Custard apple.
