tion is much tinged with greeu, and there are 

 about four fulvous spots above it : pectus yellow, 

 with two oblique lateral black lines. 



OBSERVATIONS. 



This beautiful, though very common insect, 

 has already been noticed by many authors, who, 

 for the most part, unite their testimony in favour 

 of its similarity to the P. machaon, Fabr. of 

 Europe. This correspondence is, however, only 

 a general one, for on a particular comparison, a 

 sufficient difference will be evident. It is found 

 as far north as Maine, from whence I have 

 received a specimen sent by Mr. E. Holmes, of 

 Gardineer Lyceum. 



The annexed plate represents this species in 

 two positions.
