PLATE CLXV. 



A native of South America. In its general aspect there is 

 nothing very remarkable in this species of Papilio except in the 

 highly bronzed glosses with which its upper surface is enriched when 

 in a perfect state, and the very singular appearance of the eyes : the 

 latter are of a dark or deep brown colour, surrounded by a radiation 

 of white and black hairs or down, which alternate in tufts or stripes, 

 and thus express a black star of several distinct rays, upon a cir- 

 cumference of pure snowy white.
