LEPIDOPTERA. 
The beauty of the preceding fpecies claims our notice: Papilio Crino, our admiration. Its form is 
graceful, its colours fplendid; and in addition to thofe attraCtions, it is extremely rare. We have found 
an unique fpecimen of this {pecies in the colle€tion of Mr. Drury, and on that authority we include it as 
a native of China. It has not been figured by any author. Fabricius defcribes the fame infect under the 
fpecific name Crino, erroneoufly giving its Aabitat, Africa. 
Renealmia exaltata. 
Flowered in the fummer of the prefent year, both in the ftove of G. Hibberts, Efq. and at Mefits. 
Grimwoods and Wyke’s, Kenfington. It is a majeftic plant, near feven feet in height, and bears a fine 
pendent group of flowers at the fummit.

This is one of the largeft Chinefe Papiliones we are acquainted with. The upper and under furfaces fo 
nearly agree, that we have confidered a figure of the firft unneceflary. It is reprefented with Papilio 
Coon on the 
Plumbago Rofea. Rofe coloured Lead-Wort.

lunules feptem fulvis. Fab. Ent. Sy/t. T. 3. p. 1. 44, 15. 

Uncommonly fcarce, and not hitherto figured. Fabricius has given it as a new {pecies, Peranthus, and 
refers to a fpecimen in the collection of the Right Hon. Sir J. Banks, Bart. That infect came from Cochin 
China. We have feen another, which came from Canton: it is reprefented on a {mall twig of 
Arundo Bambos. Bamboo or Cane. 
This well known plant is mentioned by Sir G, Staunton among the moft ufeful productions of China,
