Described from three S S. 



? . Differs from ? a. arsinoe above in the forewing being mnch darker grey 

 with a dark olive-green sheen and no snffasion of brown on rnfotis ; the post- 

 median bands of white markings are absent, having been entirely suffused with 

 dark scales ; a median white band bordered outside with a greyish black crennlated 

 line. Hindwing entirely grey with green sheen, the outer two-thirds suffnsed with 

 dnll orange ; a median white band with crennlated line on outside followed by an 

 indistinct greenish bine band ; ocelli smaller than in a. arsinoe and the pale ring 

 is deep orange, not pale yellow. Below there is a median white band on both 

 wings not found in a. arsinoe, and on forewing there is a postdiscal red line not 

 in the nametypical form. It has also an anal ocellus on hindwing above and 

 below; in fact it almost agrees with ? C. erota albotaeniata except being 

 darker grey.

 carelessly and inefficiently prepared ; not only omissions bat absolutely wrong 

 quotations occnr continually.)

157. Cethosia cydippe cydippe (Job.). 



Papilio cydippe Johansson, Amoenit. Academ. vol. vi. p. 409 (1763) (India). 



The question of authorship of this insect and the dates of publication are rather 

 puzzling ; however, it is quite certain that those many authors who attribute 

 cydippe to Linnaeus are entirely wrong, as he only described it in 1767. It 

 merely remains a question between Johansson and Clerck, who are both quoted as 

 1764. 



Now Clerck's [cones Tnsectorum Rarioram, pt. ii. is dated " Holmiae 1764," 

 and it is on plate 36, f. 1 that ojdippe is figured. 



Johansson's " Genturia Insectorum " forms article cxxi. of the periodical 

 issued by Linnaeus entitled Amoenitates Academicae, and is the twenty-first article
