LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS. 
yellowish green, with some golden yellow between the row of black spots and the outer margin ; the latter is 
bordered very narrowly with black. 
It is to be regretted that the female of this species has not yet been recorded from Darnley Island ; there 
cannot be much doubt that it would exhibit some marked differences from that sex of the other species, as is 
the case with the male. 
In Collection (Brit. Mus.) from Darnley Island, North of Australia. Male. 
Mr. Westwood has, in his ‘ Cabinet of Oriental Entomology,’ drawn attention to a description of P. Priamus, 
which, as he observes, seems to approach P. Poseidon ; it is given by Dr. De Haan, in his fine work on the 
Insects of the Dutch Settlements, as from New Guinea. 
“ Smaller (thanP. Priamus). Expansion of wings six inches. Anterior wings : brown spot under the median 
vein longer, beginning at the fourth branch ; median vein bordered w r ith green. The posterior wings have no 
black spots on the green patch. Underneath the anterior wings have the discoidal cell marked with a green 
spot, extending half its length ; and the green spots between the veins are separated from each other by a 
broader black band ; the anal angle of the posterior wings is yellow', with a small black spot ; the patch in the 
middle is yellowish green ; the golden yellow marginal spots between the first veins are wanting ; the six black 
spots are smaller.”

Papilio (Ornithoptera) Euphorion, G. II. Gr. 
Female. PI. II. f. 3. — In size and general appearance it approaches very near the female of P. Priamus ; 
but the band in the discoidal cell of the primary wings contains a small spot, which is also the case with the 
white streak between the fourth and fifth subcostal nervules ; and the one between the fifth subcostal and discoidal 
nervules is divided into two unequal parts ; the spots near the median nervure, between the first, second and 
third median nervules, are smaller. The tear-sliaped spots on the secondary wings are of a less size and more 
distinctly formed, while the dark fuscous spot in the middle of each is much larger than those of any other 
species known ; the spot in each space between the costal nervure and the second subcostal nervule is ochra- 
ceous ; as is also the space at the anal angle. 
The white spots of the upper surface are all speckled with minute black specks, and so is the ochraceous 
spot between the first and second subcostal nervule. 
The markings on the under surface of all the wings are similar to those on the upper side, both in shape and 
colour. 
Several specimens of this butterfly were brought from the interior of the northern portions of Australia by the 
late Allan Cunningham, and they were all of the same sex.
