Hind wings brown, with the veins edged with,and the outer margin brown, the latter with six pale submarginalspots; those towards the anal margin being lunate, the anal angleitself with a small pale dot. Under surface similar, but the browncolour is paler, and the base of all the wings is marked with severalsmall round white spots. Head and thorax black, with whitespots; abdomen black, with a broad white longitudinal stripeon each side; body beneath spotted with black. The orchidaceous plant represented in the plate is the Trichosmasuavis, Lindl., from the Khoseea district of India. * This species was obtained in a collection recently sold by auction by Mess. Stevens, ofKing Street, Covent Garden, containing specimens of Pap. Laodocus, Fulgora Delessertii,and F. Lathburii K. &c. ; so that it is most probable that it was from the southern part ofthe eastern peninsula of India. t It is accordingly named after her favoured rival, Leucothoe.

(* ^v 129 PLATE LXXX. ILLUSTRATIONS OF TWO ADDITIONAL SPECIES OF PAPILIO, SENTFROM ASSAM BY MAJOR JENKINS. Since the publication of the 19 th number of this work, inwhich two new species of Papilio, kindly communicated from Assamby Major F. Jenkins, were figured, I have received two cases ofinsects from the same gentleman, in which were contained speci-mens of the two species represented, for the first time, in theaccompanying plate. They had previously, however, been describedby myself in the Annals of Natural History, from specimensreceived from Sylhet by the Rev. J. Stainforth, now in the col-lection of H. Doubleday, Esq. In respect, therefore, to theirgeographical range, this circumstance becomes of importance. Itis also rather remarkable, that all these new Assamese speciesshould be so little striking in their colours. PAPILIO POLLUX. Weslw.(Plate 80, fig. 1.)
