Zoological illustrations, or, Original figures and descriptions of new, rare, or interesting animals : selected chiefly from the classes of ornithology, entomology, and conchology, and arranged on the principles of Cuvier and other modern zoologists . ecaudatis ;fronte, strigd laterali suhtltoracicd anoque ruhris. P. (Troj. orb.) Wings immaculate, brown; lower orbicular, nottailed; front, lateral stripe on the thorax beneath, and tip ofthe body red. 1 HE colours of this insect are unusually sombre, and presenta striking contrast to the gaudy tints by which the majority ofthese gay creatures are ornamented ; it is so far remarkable,but it is more interesting to the entomologist, as being anunpublished addition to this genus. It was discovered inJava by Dr. Horsfield; and the drawing was made from anunique specimen which I observed while engaged in a longand laborious arrangement of the Linnoean Papilionida, (asthey now appear at the India House,) collected by thatzealous naturalist for the India Company. Between the nerves of the anterior wings (which are re-markably large) are parallel central stripes, of a darkerbrown; a character common to many Indian species, but notfound, I believe, in any of those from the New World.
