134 Mr. W. F. Kirby on 



PAPILIO. 



* Equites Troes. 



1. P. Priamns (Ornithoptera) . Linn neus quotes two 

 figures, *Amoen. Acad. v. t. 3, f. 203 (1760) and Clcrck, 

 t. 17. I have not Clerck at hand ; but the figure in Am. 

 Ac. seems to agree with the description, and ought, per- 

 haps, to be considered the most typical. Even alloNving 

 for the roughness of the figure, it differs materially from 

 Cramer's figures 23 A.B., which are usually referred to 

 Priamns, especially in the spots on the underside of the 

 hind-wing, which Linnaeus describes as ''round," and 

 which are represented as scarcely larger than on the 

 upperside, and as widely separated, while in Cramer's 

 figure they are very large, irregularly oval in shape, 

 and almost confluent. The green markings on both 

 surfaces of the fore-wings also differ considerably from 

 Cramer's figure ; but as this may possibly be owing, more 

 or less, to some inaccuracy in the drawing in the Am. 

 Ac, I do not consider this of equal importance to the 

 size and shape of the spots. 



2. P. Hector. Reference, Clerck, t. 33, f. 1. 



3. P. Paris. Linnaeus quotes Knorr, Delic. t. C 3, f. 

 1, for this insect in 1760; and subsequently Clerck, t. 13, 

 f. 1. Knorr's should probably be regarded as the typical 

 figure, if it agrees with the Linnean description. 



4. P. ITclcnus. Refs. Clerck, t. 13, f. 2; Ehrct, Pict. 

 t. 10; * Edwards, Birds, t. 342. Edwards' figure repre- 

 sents P. Pohjies, Linn., and does not agree with the 

 Linnean descnption. 



5. P. Pohjtes. Ref. Clerck, t. 14, f. 1. 



6. P. Troilus. 



7. P. Dciphohus. Refs. Clerck, t. 25; Ehret, t. 25, f. 

 1; *Edw. t. 346; *Petiver, Gaz. t. 11, f. 8. Petiver's 

 figure more probably represents one of the forms of P. 

 Mcmnon, 



8. P. Pammon. Refs. Clerck, t. 14, f. 2; *RoDsel, 

 Ins. i. t. 2, f. 2, 3. Clerck's is the typical figure, as it is 

 quoted in Mus. Ulr. 



9. P. aiaucus. Ref. CI. t. 24, f. 1.
