A paper by Mr. Hewitson was then read, containing descriptions of some new Pa- 

 pilionids, of which the following is an abstract. The paper is accompanied by two 

 coloured Plates. 



" Many of our true Papilios which have now separate names, will, I believe, if 

 better known, prove to be only sexually and not specifically distinct. 



" Papilio Tullus proves to be the female of P. Sesostris. 



" Papilio Proteus and Areas, are male and female ; and I have no doubt that P. 

 Pirithous is the ? of P. Lycophron, aud P. Acamas the ? of P. Thersites."
