LEPIDOPTERA.

The specimen in the Banksian collection agrees closely with those I brought from Java, where it is by 

 no means unfrequent. Our insect may easily be confounded with the Papilio Alcesta of Cramer, from the 

 Coast of Guinea, to which the name of Narica is applied both by Fabricius and the authors of the Ency- 

 clopedic. I have endeavoured in a preceding note to point out the distinction.
