Obs.

This fine species is of the middle size, and seems to have a relation both with P.epius and P.machaon.The vertex is orange-coloured, with a black line in the middle.

The two upper wings are slightly dentated, the lower dentations being marked with white spots.
There are three grey spots in the middle of the superior margin of the wing, of which the largest is the one nearest to the body; on the outside of these are two parallel rows of grey spots, the first range consisting of about nine oblong spots unequal in size, and the outer range of eight smaller, whitish, and round spots.

The white band of the lower wings, which are not tailed, has a black crescent-like spot in the middle; and on the outside, two parallel rows of five spots, the one blue and the other red, The emarginations of these wings are fringed with white.

The underside of this insect is like the upper, except that the colours are more pronounced, and that there are two round white spots on the outside of the white band of the lower wings.
