Description Larger han related species the length of the forewing about 48 mm., the markings whitish; fore wing without submarginal spots; in the cell, opposite to cellule 3, a large transverse spot which reaches the front margin of the cell and is united with three long discal spots in cellules 2-—4; the discal spot in cellule 2 is very long, almost reaching the margin, but narrow, so that it only covers the anterior part of the cellule; the discal spots in 1 a and 1 b consequently form a free hindmarginal spot, which almost reaches the margin, but is rather far removed from the base; the discal spots in 6 and 8 arranged almost exactly as in the other species; the transverse band of the hindwing broad, almost reaching the base and the apex of the cell; the broad dark submarginal band in each of cel ...

Hindwing beneath without black basal, dot in cellule 7 and consequently with only two such dots. Hindwing with 3—8 usually double sub¬ marginal spots. Markings white, slightly suffused with greenish; discal spots 1 a and 1 b of the forewing do not cover the base of these cellules; both wings with two small streak-like submarginal spots in each cellule; hindwing above with a single discal spot in each of cellules 2–4; the white basal spot of cellule 2 of the hindwing obliquely cut off distally and sharply defined; the cell of the forewing with 3—4 ...

Graphium (butterfly)
''Graphium'' is a genus of mostly tropical swallowtail butterflies commonly known as swordtails, kite swallowtails, or ladies. Native to Eurasia, Africa, and Oceania, the genus is represented by over 100 species. Their colouration is as variable as the habitats they frequent; from rainforest to savannah. Some possess tails which may be long and swordlike, while others lack any hindwing extensions. ''Graphium'' species are often sighted at mud puddles. The more colourful species are popular with collectors and are commonly seen mounted in frames for sale. Well-known species include the tailed jay (''Graphium agamemnon''), common bluebottle (''G. sarpedon''), and the purple-spotted swallowtail (''G. weiskei''). One species, '' G. idaeoides'', is notable for being a perfect mimic of the danainid '' Idea leuconoe''. Larvae feed variously on Annonaceae (most commonly), Magnoliaceae (commonly), Lauraceae (commonly), Rutaceae, Dioscoreaceae, Bombacaceae, Piperaceae, Anacardiacea ...
