in the middle, divided by fulvous veins, and with a row of
black lunules near the margin; the hind wings fulvous at the
base, with about eight confluent black patches; the middle of
the wing occupied by a broad whitish band, intersected by
blackish veins, followed by a row of fulvous lunules, with
black edgings; the outer margin straw-coloured, with a row
of ochraceous lunules in the middle.
Another variety, also described as a distinct species, under
the name of 'Papilio tesselata,' is mentioned as being paler
than the ordinary colour, and the fore wings more fulvous
beneath; the hind wings, underneath, entirely straw-coloured,
with black veins; at the base three large yellow spots, edged
with black; a broad curved band of straw-colour, edged with
black, and with an irregular black line running through
the middle of it, across the centre of the wings, and this
succeeded by a row of black crescents, the margin being straw
yellow, with a black vandyked line running along it.
The figures are from specimens in my own collection.
