PAPILIONID£—PAPILIO. 
PAPILIO ONESIMUS. 6&8. 
Uprersipe white. Anterior wing, with the margins, the nervures, and lines 
between these nervures near the apex, brown. Part of the cell and the lower portion 
of the wing clouded with brown atoms. Posterior wing dark brown from below the 
middle, lightest where the nervules cross, darkest (forming large oval spots) between 
the median nervules ; crossed by a row of lunular spots parallel to the outer margin, 
the two nearest the apex bright orange, the one at the anal angle orange-yellow, the 
rest slightly tinted with the same colour. 
Unversine differs only in having the dark brown oblong spots between the 
median nervules and the space next to them of a blue-black, marked with Iunules 
of light blue atoms. 
Expan. 54 in. Hab. New Guinea. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
This and the preceding species—which I have given myself the pleasure of naming after its 
energetic discoverer, Mr. Wallace—are from New Guinea, and form part of the finest collection of 
insects which has, perhaps, ever reached us from the East. Many species which have only been known 
to us in England by the figures in the French Voyages, and many more which have never before been 
seen in Europe, will now enrich our collections; and I am sure that all who derive pleasure from the 
sight of these beautiful things will join me im expressing our obligation to Mr. Wallace for the delight 
he has afforded us.
