PLATE CXIX. 



A rare species, at present known only to Naturalists from the 

 descriptions left us in the writings of Fabricius ; for the figure of the 

 insect has not hitherto appeared in the works of any author. 

 Fabricius describes it from the drawings of Mr. Jones, and the 

 specimen from which the drawings were taken, in the cabinet of the 

 same gentleman. Our figures in the annexed plate, which represent 

 as well the upper as the lower surface, are copied from the drawings 

 of Mr. Jones ; the sole authority, as it hence appears, upon which 

 the species intended by Fabricius, can now be positively ascertained. 



The native plajce of Papilio Honorius is unknown. 



It may be added, as a general description of this insect, that the 

 prevailing colour on the upper surface is blue, with the tip of the 

 first pair black : the anterior margin brown ; and an irregular flexuous 

 band of the same colour, crossing the anterior wings obliquely ; 

 the latter passes from the middle of the costal rib, towards the tip, 

 aad thus encloses a distinct space of blue, independently of the blue 

 space of the inner half of the wing. The under surface differs, in 

 being of a brown colour instead of blue ; with a band of white on 

 the anterior pair, and four spots of blue towards the base •• there are 

 also a few spots of black towards the base of the lower wings.
