PLATE CXXIX. 



the prevailing tint is brown, but which is elegantly relieved by a 

 number of oblong spots of white, disposed with much symmetry, 

 especially upon the superior surface of the posterior wings, wbere 

 they form a band composed of double white spots. 



The present figures, which represent as well the upper as the 

 lower surface of Papilio Sylvester will be esteemed of some impor- 

 tance in the consideration of the entomologist when he is reminded that 

 this is one of the Fabrician species of the Papiliones long since des- 

 cribed, but of which no figure has hitherto appeared in the work of any 

 author ; and, it may be added, that the figures are copied from the 

 original insect described by Fabricius, in the cabinet of the late 

 Wm. Jones, Esq. of Chelsea. 



The native country of this insect was unknown to Fabricius, 

 nor are we yet entirely certain on this point ; we believe it is from 

 India. Mr. Jones was not himself acquainted with this particular.
