THE APATURINA BUTTERFLY. 
Papilio Apaturina. 
Puate xu. 
Aconthea Apaturina, Horsfield’s Descriptive Catalogue of 
Lepidopterous Insects, in the Museum of the East India 
Company, part ii.—Zoological Journal, vol. v. p. 68, 
pl. iii. fig. 153 l,a. 
Tue upper wings are velvet black, with a double 
row of white dots along their disk, and two sub- 
lunar white patches next the oval margin, which is 
sub-crenated ; within these are three white spots, 
with a sub-lunar patch below ; all these patches-are 
half covered with pale smalt blue; and a solitary 
blue spot near the anterior margin, and approaching 
the sesquitertious margin. . The lower wings are 
black, and sub-crenated, with a very broad band 
extending nearly half the length of the wing. About 
an eighth of an inch from the oval margin, is an 
articulate white band, with a macular band of 
black ; close to its side, the sesquitertious margins 
are hirsute, of a pale umber colour; body black ; 
antennee long. When the wings are expanded, it 
is about two and a half inches broad. 
The native place of this butterfly, as far as Dr 
Horsfield has ascertained, is the island of Jaya.
