The above is the correct synonymy of this species ; and it is a singular thing that this Butterfly, which had long stood in collections as a variety of the Natal insect, should have suddenly been taken up and described in three consecutive years. 18. CATUNA CRITHEA. Papilio crithea, Drury, 111. Exot. Ent. ii. pl. 16. figs. 5, 6 (1773). * 19. NEPTIS AGATHA. Papilio agatha, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pl. 327. A, B (1782). 20. ATELLA COLUMBINA.

It differs from the male in its greatly superior size ; the blue band of primaries reduced to a short externally excavated bar, terminating above in a white spot, above this are two parallel bent series of four and six white spots respectively and the white spot in the cell is enlarged ; in the secondaries the blue band differs chiefly in being greener, excavated or arched in |
