There are two specimens of P. Rhamni in the Banksian Collection 

 in the British Museum, and two of the variety P. Cleopatra, labelled 

 " Algiers." P. Ecclipsis, even in Petiver's figure, looks like a manu- 

 factured insect, and two cleverly painted specimens in the Linnean 

 cabinet prove it to be so ; Petiver described it as " Pap. sulphurous, 

 lunulis caeruleis, &c.," and placed it amongst his animals of Europe 

 in the index to his work ; Linnaeus, however, gave the locality " in 

 America septentrionali." P. Cleopatra has by some authors been 

 considered distinct from P. Rhamni, but none of them have yet at- 

 tempted to determine to which of the so-called distinct species the 

 intermediate gradations from orange to yellow are to be referred ; 

 in the British-Museum collection we have a specimen exactly inter- 

 mediate between the two extremes.
