The angulated form o f the wings o f this butterfly g ives it a remarkable appearance.
The eyes on the wings somewhat resemble those o f the Peacock butterfly, to which, in
some other respects, it bears no distant similitude. It is common in China ; Fabricms
g ives its habitat Asia.

PapUio Lubentina is figured only in the works o f Cramer: his specimen is not precisely
like ours, but agrees in all the essential peculiarities, and is unquestionably the
same species. The semitransparent spots on the anterior wings are much larger in
Cramer's figure than in the insect before us.
