The angulated form of the wings of this butterfly gives it a remarkable appearance. 

 The eyes on the wings somewhat resemble those of the Peacock butterfly, to which, in 

 some other respects, it bears no distant similitude. It is common in China ; Fabricius 

 arives its habitat Asia.

Papilio Lubentina is figured only in the works of Cramer : his specimen is not pre- 

 cisely like ours, but agrees in all the essential peculiarities, and is unquestionably the 

 same species. The semitransparent spots on the anterior wings are much larger in 

 Cramer's figure than in the insect before us.
