Papilio Archippus, Pabr. Ent. iv. p. 49.—Cramer, Desc. de 
Papillons, pl. 206, fig. 8, 8. F. 
Tue centre of all the wings is deep fulyous brown, 
surrounded by a black band, which is thickly stud- 
ded with irregularly shaped white spots and dots. 
At the outer extremity of the upper wings there 
are two large oblong fulvous spots, and several 
others of yellow and purple. The body is black, 
and dotted with white on the back. 
The extent of this insect is four inches and an 
eighth. The antenne are rather short and slender 
for the size of the butterfly. It inhabits Carolina 
and Virginia. 
The caterpillar is white, with transverse bars of 
dark brown. It feeds chiefly on the leaves of the 
Asclepias cavassavica. The pupa is of a pale green, 
with several bright golden yellow spots.
