NOTES ON THE BUTTERFLIES


25. PAPILIO LYCOPHRON (Hub).
 The only locality I have recorded for this
butterfly is Corozal in the Northern District.
On a lime tree growing in the dense forest a few
miles from the town of Corozal, in the month of
July, I found a number of larvae evidently belong-
ing to the Papilio family, but I was ignorant of
the species. The majority of them were of a
beautiful dark orange colour with a blackish-
brown saddle mark. Of these I found about
twenty. The others which were feeding with
them were throughout of a greyish or greenish-
brown colour and I was only able to find four or
five of these last. The orange-coloured larvae
developed into Papilio ornythion (Bates) while
the brown ones proved to be Papilio lycophron
(Hub).
 I sent specimens of both these insects to the
Natural History Museum in London where they
were identified. This is the only occasion that I
have ever come across this butterfly.
26. PAPILIO ORNYTHION (Bates).
 As mentioned in my notes regarding Papilio
 lycophron I found a number of the larva of this
 insect feeding on a lime tree in the Corozal District
 and from them I was lucky to breed both males
 and females. I visited the lime tree again the
 following year in the hope of securing more
