Note 16 — Chapter III

Continental Africa, south of the equator, has produced no female similar to the male. But in Abyssinia is found another state of things. Here, so far as is known, occur three forms, all tailed, of which one is similar in general colour and pattern to the male, while the other two, niavioides and ruspina[16], resemble respectively a tailed hippocoon and a tailed trophonius. Lastly we have to record that Papilio dardanus is also found as the geographical race humbloti on Comoro Island, and as meriones on Madagascar. In both forms the females are tailed, and resemble the males.
