brown, and those from Jamaica have less blue in the disk of the lower wings than those 

 from China." Donovan, however, clearly here mistook distinct species for varieties. The 

 American species thus named by Abbot and Smith is the P. Larinia of Fabricius, and in 

 my copy of the Entomologia Systematica, which belonged to Professor Weber, the com- 

 panion of Fabricius, the words " India orientali " are introduced in lieu of Jamaica. 



Papilio Clelia of Cramer, which is found on the coast of Guinea, has been supposed a 

 variety of Papilio Orythia. Fabricius, in the Entomologia Systematica, has made it a 

 distinct species. It greatly resembles P. Orythia, but has no more blue colour on the 

 posterior wings than is concentrated in a large spot near the base.

Donovan regarded this as a new species, giving the following as the true Leucothoe 

 of Linnaeus. The description given by that author, and especially his notice of the third 

 row of spots in the posterior pair of wings being composed " ex maculis 7 albis puncto 

 nigro fcetis," clearly applies to this and not to the following insect.
