In the beginning of Auguft, 1772, a brood of thefe Infers were 

 taken near Lewes in SufTex, by the late Mr. Green ; and we believe 

 no other fpecimens have been taken fmce that period. 



It is not very unlike the Papilio Sylvanus of Fabricius, but may 

 be readily diftinguifhed from it by the fquare fpots on the under-fide 

 being perfedtly white.
