AFRICAN SPECIES OF PAPILIO. 
151 
upper and under sides, in the accompanying figures, from drawings 
made by myself in Paris, in May last, from a specimen which M. 
Boisduval has received since the publication of his volume containing 
this genus. It is a native of Caffraria. There are several patches 
of dark hairs on the outside of the macular band of the fore win^s 
s 
towards the anal angle. 
Species XVII.—PAPILIO ZENOBIA. 
Syn. — Pap. Zenobia , Fabr. Donovan, Nat. Repos, pi. 179. Jones, fig. pict. 1, tab. 68. 
A native of Sierra Leone, but very rare; specimens of it are 
contained in the collections of the British and Bristol Museums, 
and in the Banksian Cabinet, whence the species was described by 
Fabricius. 
Species XYI1I.—PAPILIO MESSALINA. 
Syn. — Pap. Messalina, Stoll (Suppl. Cramer), p. 125, pi. 26, fig. 2. 
Pap. Cynorta , Boisduval, Sp. Gen. Ins. Lep. 1, 370 (nec Fabricius). 
The Cynorta of Fabricius, as proved by an inspection of Mr. 
Jones’s leones, is a distinct species from the Messalina of Stoll, with 
which Boisduval has confounded it. This is a rare species, inhabit¬ 
ing Sierra Leone (and Caffraria according to Stoll). It is con¬ 
tained in the collections of the British and Bristol Museums. 
Species XIX.—PAPILIO CYNORTA. (Plate 40, fig. 3,4.) 
Syn. —Papilio Cynorta , Fabr. Jones, Icon. pict. 1, tab. 87. (nec P. Cynorta, Bdv.= 
P. Messalina.) 
Papilio Zeryntius, Boisduval. 
This species has been confounded with the preceding by 
Boisduval, by whom it is suggested that it may be only a local 
variety of that insect; an opinion in which I cannot concur. The 
black portion of the disc of the fore wings, as well as the dilated 
veins which separate the white bar, are clothed with black woolly 
hairs. Mr. Hope possesses a species received from M. Wester- 
mann, from Sierra Leone; and there is a specimen in the collec¬ 
tion of the British Museum which was also confounded with the 
preceding species. Jones’s figures give excellent representations 
of the upper and under sides of the species ; but as no figures of it 
have yet been published, I have added it to my illustrations. 
Species XX.—PAPILIO BOISDUVALLIANUS. (Plate 40, fig. 1, 2.) 
P. (n. sp.) alis supra nigris fascia lata, e margine anali ad medium anticarum ducta plagaque 
obliqua submedia, albis ; subtus albo similiter variis, basi posticarum fulvis nigro variis, 
apieeque fuscis. Expans. alar, fcrc unc. 3£. 
Habitat Siciram Leonara. In Mus. Westermann ct Boisduval. 
Although it is very desirable, when possible, that the specific
