AFRICAN SPECIES OF PAPILIO. 
Species VII.—PAPILTO THERSANDER. (PI. 38, fig. 1, 2.) 
Syn .—Pap. Thersander, Eut. Syst. 3, 1 p. 32 (ncc Donov. Nat. Repos. 3, t. 75). 
Specimens of this species (omitted by Boisduval) are contained 
in the collections of the British Museum, and the Bristol Institu¬ 
tion. It is a native of Sierra Leone, and is closely allied to, but 
smaller than P. Menestheus. Fabricius derived his knowledge of it 
from Jones’s drawings, vol. i. fig. 71 ; and it is from an inspection 
of these drawings that I have been enabled to determine the species 
beyond a doubt. This is the more necessary to be stated, because 
Donovan, in his Naturalist’s Repository, vol. iii. pi. 75, figured the 
upper and under side of a totally different insect under the name of 
P. Thersander, and which he says were copied from Jones’s figures. 
If not artificial, they however represent one of the Nymphalkke 
(Charaxes sp.), as is evident from the head and antenme. There 
are, however, no such figures in Jones’s leones; so that Donovan 
must have fallen into some strange error respecting the species. 
M. Boisduval also now possesses a specimen of the insect, and informed 
me, when in Paris, that notwithstanding Donovan’s figures, he had 
supposed it was the true Fabrician P. Thersander. 
Species VIII.—PAPILIO DEMOLEUS. 
Syn —Pap. Demoleus, Linnaeus; Fabr.; Cramer, pi. 231, fig. A, B. (nec Demoleus Esper.) 
Pal. Beauvois, Ins. d’Afr. pi. 2 b. 
Papilio DemodocuSy Esper. 
Inhabits the Gold Coast, Coast of Guinea, Caffraria, the Cape of 
Good Hope, as well as Madagascar, according to M. Boisduval, who 
informs us that M. Dumolin has reared it at Senegal from the 
caterpillars which feed on the orange-tree. 
Species IX.—PAPILIO LATREILLIANUS. 
Syn. — Pap. Latreillianus, Godart. Guerin, Icon. R. An. Ins. pi. 76, fig. 1. Griffith, An. 
Kingd. Ins. pi. 3, fig. 1, (copied from Gue'rin). Boisduval. (nec Pap. Latreillii 
Donovan). 
Inhabits Sierra Leone, but rare. Specimens are contained in the 
collections of the British and Bristol Museums. 
Species X.—PAPILIO TYNDERjEUS. 
Syn — Pap. Tynderanis , Fabr. Jones’s Icon. vol. i. t, 57. Donovan, Nat. Repos, vol. iii. 
pl. 83. Godart, Enc. M. 9, No. 59. 
Papilio Naushious , God. Enc. Meth. 9, No. 58. 
Donovan’s figures of this rare species (which inhabits Sierra 
Leone) nearly agree with those of Jones’s above referred to, except 
that those of the former author have the hind wings too short, and
