THE CLEONA BUTTERFLY. 



Papilio Cleona. 

 PLATE LIX. 



Papilio Cleona, Cramer, Desc. de Papillons, iv. p. 178, 

 pi. 377, fig. F. 



THE wings and body of this handsome Papilio are 

 black, with large, variously shaped spots of yellowish 

 green, and three umber coloured spots towards the 

 lower edge of the under wings ; the whole posterior 

 margins of the wings are surrounded by a double row 

 of white dots. 



At the extremity of the abdomen are two tufts of 

 hair shaped like brushes, which seem peculiar to 

 some butterflies, but are of rather rare occurrence. 

 The back has six white dots. 



The Cleona Butterfly inhabits Amboyna, and is 

 scarce.
