THE AMPHRYSIUS BUTTERFLY. 
Papilio Amphrysius.—Java. 
PLATE VI, 
Papilio Amphrysius, Merian’s Ins. Surinam, t. 72 ?—Cra- 
mer, t. 219, f. a.—Shaw’s Nat. Miscellany, pl. 650. 
Tne upper wings are black, with yellow streaks, 
and slghtly indented. The lower wings are yellow, 
with a broad yandyked border of black, and con- 
siderably indented. The upper part of the body is 
deep black ; and the segments, or annular process, is 
yellow. The eyes are scarlet. 
Although this butterfly has but two colours, yet, 
from the strong contrast of these, it is a beautiful 
insect. 
The Amphrysius Butterfly is a native of the 
islands of Java and Amboyna, and measures up- 
wards of five inches and a quarter from the extre- 
mity of one wing to that of the other.
