Description of Camilla. 

 *' Camilla, Papilio. 

 "Ludov. Mus. Ulr. No. 122, p. 304 (1764). 



" Alis dentatis fuscis subcoloribus alba fasciatis macula- 

 tisque ; angulo ani rubro. Habitat in Lonicera cserulea Ger- 

 inaniaB." 



This is the short " definition " ; the long description is as 

 follows : — 



" AlcB supra omnes nigricantes. 



" Primores. Fascia arcuata, alba, in medio interrupta in 

 maculas, quarum mediaB minores. Puncta aliquot, alba, versus 

 apicem. 



" Postica. Fascia cuneiformi alba solum nervis dissecta. 

 Macula ad angulum ani rubra cum Punctis duobus nigris 

 majusculis. 



" Subtiis omnes flavescentes. Fascia cserulescenti-albida, extra 

 quam puncta angulata duplici serie. 



" Differt imprimis a prsecedenti macula rubra alarum posti- 

 carum ad angulum ani, quam in quibusdam deesse observavit 

 Eoeselius." 



I think that the description here given — ** fascia arcuata " on 

 the fore wings, " fascia cuneiformi alba solum nervis dissecta, 

 macula ad angulum ani rubra cum Punctis duobus nigris majus- 

 culis " on the hind wings, and the ground colour of the under 

 side, " flavescentes," would convince anyone that the insect 

 Linuseus was here describing as "camilla'' was our insect, and 

 not the continental allied species, which, so far as I know, has 

 never yet been observed in this country. 



There is no reference here to the blue-black colour of the 

 upper surface of all the wings, the row of dark marginal spots 

 on each wing, the white discoidal spot on the fore wings, where 

 the other white spots do not form a fascia ; and on the under 

 side the nearly straight, not wedge-shaped, white fascia, and the 

 much darker almost coffee-coloured ground colour of the conti- 

 nental species, which are some of the differences in the markings 

 of the two insects which serve to distinguish them.
