than fix inches from wing's end to wing's end. The upper 
wings are velvet-black, with a broad band of the moll 
beautiful grafs-green, and of a fatiny lultre, drawn from 
the fhoulder to the tip, and another on the lower part of 
the wing, following the fliape of that part, and of a fome- 
wkat undulating appearance as it approaches the tip ; the 
lower wings are. of tire fame green colour, edged with 
velvet-black, and marked by four fpots of that colour, 
while at the upper part of each, or at the paft where the 
upper wings lap over, is a fquarilh orange-coloured fpot; 
the thorax is black, with fp rink lings of lucid green in 
the middle; and the abdomen is of a bright; yellow or 
gold-colour. On the under fide of the animal the dif- 
tribution of colours is fomcwhat different, the green 
being difpofed in central patches on the upper wings, and 
the lower being marked by more numerous black, as well 
as orange, fpots. It is a very rare infe£t, and is a native 
of the illand of Amboyna.

32. Papilio Menelaus : wings indented ; above highly 
polifiied, blue; beneath clouded brown, with ferruginous 
eyes. This may be confidered as one of the moll fplerididly 
beautiful of the butterfly tribe, Its fixe is large, meafur- 
ing, when expanded, about fix inches ; and its colour is 
the molt brilliant fiiver-blue that imagination can con¬ 
ceive, changing, according to the variation of the light, 
into a deeper blue, and in fome lights to a greenilh call 5 
on the other fide it is entirely brown, with numerous 
deeper and lighter undulations, and three large ocellated 
fpots on each wing. It is a native of South America, 
and proceeds, according to Madame Merian, who has 
figured it in her work on the Surinam Infects, from a 
large yellow caterpillar, befet with numerous upright 
fharp black fpines. It changes into an angular chryfalis., 
of a brown colour, and diftinguifhed by having the pro- 
bofeis projecting in a femicircular manner over the bread: 
from this chrvfalis, in about fourteen days, proceeds the 
complete infect, as represented at fig. 7. 
33. Papilio Ulyfi'es : wings tailed, black, with a blue 
radiating dilk ; lower pair with feven ocellate fpots be¬ 
neath. This fpecies is found in Afia. 
34. Papilio Diomedes; wings tailed, black; the dilk 
unequally radiate with blue; the lower ones with blue 
lunules. It inhabits India. 
35. Pap'dio Podalirius: wings tailed, both furfaces 
nearly alike, yellowilh, with double brown bands and 
margin ; lower ones with five blue ocellate fpots, and a 
reddilh line beneath. This is found in our own country, 
and other parts of Europe. Mr. Donovan has given a 
reprefentation of it, which we have copied at fig. 8. 
36. Papilio Sinon : wings tailed, black, with green 
entire band, ftripes, and dots; lower ones with a yea line 
underneath. It is found in India, and is half the fize of 
the Podalirius. 
37. Papilio Chiron: wings tailed, black, barred with 
brown ; underneath white, on the fore part with ferrugi¬ 
nous Freaks. It inhabits India. 
38. Papilio Melibceus: wings tailed, brown ; upper pair 
with a red Itripe, lower ones with two; beneath finning 
blue. It inhabits Surinam. 
39. Papilio Homerus: wings tailed, black, with a yel¬ 
low band; lower ones yellowilh underneath, with feven 
eyes. It inhabits America. 
40. Papilio Machaon. This is an infeft of great 
beauty, and may be confidered as the only Britilh fpecies 
of Papilio, excepting the Podalirius, belonging to the tribe 
of Equites. It is commonly known among the Englilh 
collectors by the title of the J'walloiv-tailed butterfly; and 
is of a beautiful yellow, with black fpots or patches along 
the upper edge of the fuperior wings ; all the wings are 
bordered with a deep edging of black, decorated by a 
double row of crefcent-lhaped fpots, of which the upper 
row is blue, and the lower yellow. See fig. 9. The un¬ 
der wings are tailed, and are marked at the inner angle 
or tip with a broad red fpot, bordered with blue and black. 
The larva, or caterpillar, of this fpecies, feeds principally 
on fennel, and other umbelliferous plants; and is fome- 
times found on rue. It is of a green colour, encircled 
with numerous black bands, fpotted with red; and is fur- 
liilhed on the top of the head with a pair ofihort tentacula 
of a red colour, which it occafionally protrudes from that 
part. In the month of July it changes into a yellowilh- 
grey angular chryfalis, affixed to fome part of the plant, 
or other neighbouring fubllance; and from this chryfalis, 
in the month of Augult, proceeds the complete infeft. 
It frequently happens that two broods of this butterfly 
are produced in the fame fummer; one in May, having 
been in the chryfalis Hate all the winter; the other in 
Augult, from the chryfalides of July. 
41. Papilio Therfites: wings tailed, yellow, with a
