. Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences. Science; Natural history; Natural history. A single orange tubercle occurs at the base of each proleg, the orange color of which is sometimes obscured with black. Prolegs, shiny black, and thickly covered with short black hairs. The caudal segment bears similar hairs. Spiracles black. Ocelli, jet black. See Plate PLATE 5 Mature larva of Papilio polydamas lucayus, enlarged x 2. Drawing by J. A. Comstock Pupa. Length 32 mm. Greatest width, mm. There are two color phases in the pupa, as with many of the Genus Papilio. One is a uniform gray-brown. The other, which we will describe, is green. Body color, dark olive-green, with a saddle of light yellow- green over the recurved dorsal portion. Antennal sheaths a lighter green than the ground on which they rest. There is a prominent lateral flaring ridge at the edge of the wing cases which is sometimes margined with light blue, and the tips of all the prominent tubercles and protrusions are sometimes laved with the same blue shade. A prominent ridge connecting the two roots of the antennae also bears the same blue edging. The characteristic shape of this pupa, with its prominent dorsal horn, and rounded humps on the dorso-abdominal portion is clearly brought out in our illustration, Plate 6. The average length of time in pupa is 18 days. Cold weather will naturally retard the time of emergence. 79.
