370 APPENDIX. 



on the under side of the wing; on the upper side 

 the two top ones are ahnost entirely lost. The 

 wing-tail is pretty narrow, and only three lines 

 lonff. The hairs on the forehead, the back, and the 

 thorax, as well as the feelers and legs, are quite 

 black. The palpi, many spots on the breast, 

 the shanks, and the sides of the body have a ver- 

 milion colour. 



A remarkable pecuUarity in this butterfly is 

 the rolled interior edges of the lower wings, as 

 they are covered inside with small grey scales, 

 between which, on the whole length of the wing, 

 srrows a white wool, the fibres of which are a line 

 in length. The same is found also in the Pap. 

 Vertiminiis, F. and P. Sesostris, Cram. It has a 

 great similarity with two already-described butter- 

 flies, which besides have the same country with it; 

 for which reason I must give the differences. The 

 one is Pajj. Jgcwus, Drury's Illustr. of Exot. Ins. 

 vol. iii. tab. ix. fig. 4. It has great resemblance 

 with ours, by its white band and red spots of the 

 lower wings, but differs nmch from it by the two 

 tailed wings; besides, ours has no large squarish 

 spots. Less dissimilar from it is the other, Paj). 

 Thyastes, (Fabr. E. S. n. 77.) as it has several 

 white spots on tlie surface of the lower wings. My 

 specimen is a male.
