PLATE VI. 



smother mucli more frequent species named Papilio Sennae. This 

 tatter mentioned Butterfly is figured by Sloane, Merian, and Seba ; 

 Papilio Marcellina by Cramer only. These insects resemble each 

 other, but are nevertheless distinct ; the specific character of Papilio 

 Sennte consists chiefly, according to Linnasus, in having the double 

 spot in the centre of each wing of a ferruginous colour, while in 

 Papilio Marcellina that characteristic mark has the exact appearance 

 of two approximating spots of molten silver. The tips of the wings 

 in Papilio Sennas are sometimes spotted as in Marcellina and are 

 sometimes destitute of spots. 



Both these analogous species are natives of Surinam ; Sloane 

 describes Papilio Sennae, in his Natural History of Jamaica, as an 

 inhabitant of that island.
