st. Piez. 130. 1. Obs. This seems, according to Fabricius, to be merely a variety of the common European insect. 123. Liris angulata. Fab. Syst. Piez. 230. 9. 124. Pompilus morio. Fab. Syst. Piez. 187. 1. 125. Pompilus collaris. Fab. Syst. Piez. 187. 2. 126. Alyson tomentosum (n.s.) A. nigro-pubescens abdominis segmentis apice argenteis, alis apice nigricantibus. 127. Thynnus variabilis. Leach, manuscripts. Thynnus dentatus. Fab. Syst. Piez. 231. 1. 128. Eumenes campaniformis. Fab. Syst. Piez. 287. 10. 129. Eumenes apicalis (n.s.) E. flava thoracis spatio inter alas segmentique abdominalis secundi parte basali nigris, alis flavis apice fuscis. 130. Centris bombylans. Fab. Syst. Piez. 358. 19. CLASS HAUSTELLATA. Order LEPIDOPTERA. 131. Papilio eurypilus. Linn. Syst. Nat. 2 page 754. 49. Godart. Enc. Meth. Hist. Nat. 9 45. 61. Obs. Captain King found an insect on the north coast of New Holland, which, I think, can only be deemed a variety of P. eurypilus, a species hitherto recorded as inhabiting Java and Amboyna. This variety is distinguished from the euripilus of Godart by several minute differences. 132. Papilio macleayanus. Godart, Enc. Meth. Hist. Nat. 9 47. 65. 133. Papilio sthenelus (n.s.) P. alis nigris flavo-maculatis posticis dentatis fascia maculaque adjecta flavis, ocello anali rufo lunulae caeruleae submisso. Obs. This species is in New Holland what demoleus is in Africa, and epius in India. It is even difficult to determine whether the three may not be varieties of one species. If varieties, however, they are certainly permanent according to the above localities, and this species may be easily distinguished from epius, which it most resembles, by the large yellow spot near the middle of the superior margin of the upper wing. This spot is divided into two in epius and demoleus. Moreover, the band of the lower wing in P. sthenelus is only attended with one small spot. 134. Papilio anactus (n.s.) P. alis nigro-fuscis, anticis griseo-maculatis, inferis dentatis fascia alba extus dentata lunula media nigra limbique nigri lunulis quinque caeruleis ocellis tot rufis submissis. Obs. This fine species is of the middle size, and seems to have a relation both with P. epius and P. machaon. The vertex is orange-coloured, with a black line in the middle. The two upper wings are slightly dentated, the lower dentations being marked with white spots. There are three grey spots in the
