ILLUSTRATIONS OF TWO NEW AFRICAN SPECIES OF PAPILIO. 
Sivce my Memoir on the African Species of the Genus Papilio 
of Modern Authors was published (Plates 37—40), Mr. Edward 
Doubleday has been so kind as to place in my hands two additional 
undescribed species, received by his brother, Mr. H. Doubleday, 
from Mr. Raddon, who obtained them from the Gold Coast. It 
is with great pleasure, therefore, that I introduce them into the 
present volume by way of Supplement to my Memoir. 
PAPILIO CHAROPUS. (Plate 47.) 
P. alis nigris, fascia communi lete viridi, in posticis dilatata et extus denticulata, versus costam 
anticarum in maculas divisa, alis posticis caudatis maculisque submarginalibus viridibus, 
alis subtus fuscis, anticis fascia submarginali lutea versus costam bifida, posticis nebulis 
ocellisque submarginalibus griseo argenteoque variis. Expans alar. unc. 43. 
Inhabits the Gold Coast of Africa. In Mus. H. Doubleday. 
This species is closely allied to Papilio Nireus, and still nearer to 
the Madagascar P. Oribazus of Boisduval, with which last it might 
be at first confounded. Having however, whilst in Paris last 
summer, made drawings of the last-named species and its allies 
Phorbanta, Epiphorbas, disparilis, &c. (with a view to their publica- 
tion in this work), I am enabled to state its specific distinction 
from all of them. The beautiful green bar which crosses the wings 
is much narrower in the fore wings, and much broader in the hind 
ones, than in P. Oribazus (which is similarly tailed) ; whilst the 
underside of this species is quite different, bemg in fact far more 
beautiful in its cloudings and silvery ocelli than in any of the allied 
insects. 
PAPILIO HESPERUS. (Plate 48.) 
P. alis uigris, fascia communi curvata, macula obliqua versus medium coste anticarum 
maculisque duabus discoidalibus posticarum sulphureis, his caudatis. Expans. alar. 
une. 52. 
Inhabits the Gold Coast of Africa. In Mus. H. Doubleday. 
The fore wings of this very distinct species are of a velvety black 
colour, with an oblique brimstone spot at the extremity of the 
discoidal cell, divided into three parts by the veins, a small oval 
subapical spot and a curved fascia extending half across the fore 
wings and nearly across the hind ones, being broadest in the space
