ENTOMOLOGY. 



similarity renders it of more importance to point out precisely the 

 difference that prevails between them, and this the present figure it 

 is presumed will render distinctly obvious. 



In the species P. Zacynthus the wings are black : in the middle 

 of the first pair is a large spot composed of two distinct colours, the 

 anterior part being white, the posterior green, but on the underside 

 the spot appears entirely white. Papilio iEneas has also a spot of 

 green upon the anterior wings but without any portion of white. 

 Papilio ^neas is a native of India, Papilio Zacynthus is from the 

 Brasils.
