 pi. 246, fig. D. 



BOTH the upper and under wings and body of this 

 species are black ; they have an articulate band of 

 rich fawn colour, with which, in all the wings, are a 

 number of oblong oval and lineated spots of a bluish 

 white colour, very transparent ; a row of similar spots 

 is disposed along the centre of the back, one on 

 each segment ; on the upper part of the body are 

 four white and two fawn coloured spots, with a white 

 one on the centre of the head. 



The under surface of the wings in all respects 

 resembles the upper side, but the under part of the 

 body is white. 



This Papilio is a native of Surinam.
