THE HELIUS BUTTERFLY. 
Papilio Helius. 
PLATE Lil. 
Papilio Helius, Cramer, Dese. de Pap. iii. p. 10, pl. 198, 
fig. 13. 
THE wings are entire, and black, as well as the 
hody ; the lower ones have very large patches of 
scarlet on each ; the body is bluish black ; the eyes 
are scarlet ; and the antenne short and erect. The | 
under surface of the wings is black, and iridescent 
green. The abdomen is marked with yellow rings 
heneath. It is a native of the West Indies. 
This Papilio, although small, is nevertheless very 
pretty, from the strong contrast of colour which it 
exhibits.
