Papilio Hector,.—Invia. 
PLATE V. 
Papilio Hector, Linn. Syst. Nat. p. 744— Shaw's Nat. 
Miscellany, pl, 271. 
Tus Papilio is wholly of a deep velvet black, 
the upper wings clouded with cleft patches of pale 
ochre yellow, and the centre and lower parts of the 
under wings, head, and tail, with crescent-shaped 
regular patches of bright scarlet ; and with an edge, 
or fillet of white round the whole margins. Inferior 
margin with a caudate wing. 
The Hector Trojan is a native of India, but of 
rare occurrence, and measures four and a half inches 
from tip to tip of extended wings. The antenn 
are very long and slender. 
The strong contrast of the deep black and scarlet 
of this insect, gives it a striking effect.
