PLATE CXVT, 



This choice and very beautiful species of Butterfly is a native 

 of Africa, the original specimen from which our drawing is taken was 

 brought from Guinea, and constituted a species in the rich cabinet 

 of Mr. Drury, under the name of Papilio Camillus; and it was 

 under this appellation that Mr. Drury described^it. Fabricius aware 

 that Cramer had previously denominated the same insect Papilio 

 Castor, conceived it better to retain it under that name, and refer 

 the appellation Camillus to another species. This he has done, 

 and thus the present insect is recorded in his works as Papilio Castor, 

 while the name Camillus is given to a very different insect. The 

 Papilio Camillus of Fabricius is a species of small size, not hitherto 

 noticed by any other than this last mentioned writer, it is one of the 

 African species, of the Banksian Cabinet_^ and may be deemed of 

 sufficient interest to deserve insertion at some future period in the 

 present publication. 



Our present insect Papilio Castor, is a species of very consider- 

 able rarity.
