This large and very beautiful butterfly, is an inhabitant of various 
parts of Europe, and is found alfo in the more temperate parts of Si- 
beria. We are mduced to infert it among the Britifh Papiliones 
on the affurance of Mr. Haworth, that he was recently informed the 
fpecies had been taken im Scotland*. It would afford us much plea- 
fure could the particulars of its capture be fubmitted to our readers, 
but we have been unable to procure any further information on this 
fubje&t ; and prefuming the faét at leaft to be correétly ftated, we 
could not refrain commencing our new volume with the reprefentation 
of fuch an interefting object. 
Papilio Apollo is the ofisprmg of a folitary fluggifh larva, or 
_ caterpillar, of a black colour, covered with afoft and filky down. All 
the rings are marked on both fides with two red fpots, which together 
conftitute a longitudinal feries along each fide. Befides thefe fpots, 
every ring or joint is marked nearer the middle of the back with ‘three 
fmall lateral dots of blueish, difpofed m a femilunar manner, and thus 
forming a longitudinal waved line on each fide within the two rows 
of red fpots. The anterior part of the head is furnithed with tenta- 
cula, which the animal can advance or retraét at pleafure; this is fur- 
cated when completely fpread out. The Pupa is flightly folliculate, 
fomewhat ovate, and of a blueish colour. :
