PAPILIO Nox. 



Generic Characteu. — See PI. 92. 



Specific Character. 



P. (Troj. orb.) Alls immaculatis fuscis, inferis orbiculatis, ecaudatis ; 

 fronte, strigd laterali suhtltoracicd anoque ruhris. 



P. (Troj. orb.) Wings immaculate, brown ; lower orbicular, not 

 tailed ; front, lateral stripe on the thorax beneath, and tip of 

 the body red. 



1 HE colours of this insect are unusually sombre, and present 

 a striking contrast to the gaudy tints by which the majority of 

 these gay creatures are ornamented ; it is so far remarkable, 

 but it is more interesting to the entomologist, as being an 

 unpublished addition to this genus. It was discovered in 

 Java by Dr. Horsfield ; and the drawing was made from an 

 unique specimen which I observed while engaged in a long 

 and laborious arrangement of the Linnoean Papilionida, (as 

 they now appear at the India House,) collected by that 

 zealous naturalist for the India Company. 



Between the nerves of the anterior wings (which are re- 

 markably large) are parallel central stripes, of a darker 

 brown ; a character common to many Indian species, but not 

 found, I believe, in any of those from the New World.
