Papilio TheUos, G. R. Gr. 



Female. PI. X.* f. 7. — The primary wings brownish black, having the outer margin ornamented with eight 

 minute spots of white scales between the nervules ; two spots of white in the middle of the wing, the first placed 

 between, at the base of the first and second median nervules, the second is between the second and third median 

 nervules, while below these are two spots of bronzy scales, between the third median nei-vule and the inner margin, 

 thus forming an obhque short band on the wing. The secondary wings brownish black, having the outer margin 

 bordered between the dentations with white ; a curved transverse band of seven scarlet spots extends from the 

 anal angle to the anterior angle ; the two at the anal angle subquadrate, and scarcely divided by the submedian 

 nervure ; the third and fourth are the largest, and nearly equal in size, while the fifth, sixth and seventh 

 gradually decrease in size towards the anterior angle. 



The under surface of the primary vpings is similar in colour, and with two white spots of the same form, but 

 the two bronzy spots are not apparent. The under surface of the secondary wings brownish black, but with the 

 seven spots of a pinkish white, wliile the two at the anal angle are smaller and only partly united. 



This insect is supposed to be the female of the former species, but as some doubts exist as to the correctness 

 of this view, it is thought best to place it as distinct for the present.

Papilio Ergeteles, G. R. Gr. 



Male. PI. VIII. f. 5. — The primary wings much pointed and bluish black, with the summits clearer ; a 

 greenish grey space, which is divided into two spots by the base of the third median nervnle ; the first is sub- 

 quadrate and the second is crescent-shaped, being rounded on the side nearest the inner margin. The secondary 

 wings bluish black, and very narrowly bordered with pinkish white between the dentations of the outer margin ; 

 a laro-e space of pale carmine, having the anterior part obscure, which is divided into four lengthened spots by 

 the first and second median and the discoidal nervules ; each spot nearly touches the nervure that forms the 

 discoidal cell. 



The under surface of the primary wings is entirely sooty black. The under surface of the secondary wings is 

 sooty black, vrith the macular space as seen on the upper side, but the spots are less in size, which removes them 

 a greater distance from the nervure that forms the discoidal cell, and they are of a pinkish white ; there is a 

 small spot of pinkish white on the fold at the anal angle.

Female. The form is like that of the male, but the dentations of the secondaiy wings are rather more obtuse. 



The primary wings deep black, with the summits clearer ; a space of white, which is surrounded with scattered
