Papilio veiovis is a species of swallowtail butterfly from the genus Papilio that is found in Sulawesi. [1]
P. veiovis Hew. (= samanganus Fruhst.) (20 d). The lateral spots of the abdomen united into transverse bands, which are interrupted above. Markings of the wings dissimilis -like; ground-colour white, often yellowish, especially on the under surface of the hindwing, the veins, the cell-stripes and a broad marginal area which encloses light double stripes black; the forewing elongated, with incurved distal margin; the hindwing at the abdominal margin much longer than in clytia , with distinctly projecting tooth at the 3. radial and yellow anal spot. The female has broader wings than the male .— North and South Celebes; the differences given by Fruhstorfer between northern and southern specimens are not confirmed by the 16 examples before me [Jordan]. The butterfly according to Fruhstorfer drinks at puddles and at the edges of brooks, the wings being kept closed. [2]
