ENTOMOLOGY. 



Mc. Leay, Esq. formerly S. L. S. and now Secretary to the colony of 

 New South Wales. We advert once more to this circumstance, 

 because, from the great similitude that interesting acquisition bears 

 to the present, some idea might arise of their near approximation. 



That there is some resemblance between the two insects must 

 be admitted, at the same time that every observer will be assured, 

 upon the most cursory comparison, that they are specifically distinct. 

 Those differences will be best perceived by comparing the two plates 

 together, and if this comparison be made with due attention, we 

 cannot hesitate for a moment to believe, that further remark upon 

 this subject, in addition to those advanced already in the description 

 of Papilio Latreillii, must be totally unnecessary *. 



This very curious, and we may also add, extremely scarce 

 species, Papilio Hectorides, is, as before observed, a native of India, 

 and is the only example of its kind that has occurred to our obser- 

 vation. The two figures in the annexed plate represent the upper 

 and lower surface of the same insect. The specimen is of the male 

 sex.
