We have feveral fpecies of the Papilio tribe, which are highly
valued in England either for their beauty or fcarcity; the P. La-
thonia is little, if by any means, inferior to the moft beautiful; and as’
a rare Infect is efteemed an invaluable acquifition.

The upper fide is only a plain orange or brown colour, with fpots
of ftrong black, and does not in ‘general appearance differ materially
from the greafy Fritillary Butterfly, which is very common in moft
fituatigns ; but the underfide is entirely unlike every other Englifh
Infect: the bright filver fplafhes on the under wings are fingular in
their form, and fo beautifully relieved by the orange ground colour,
and variegation of black between, as to form a delightful contraft of
the moft pleafing colours.

Whether this fpecies was originally a native of this country, may
be doubtful; we certainly have the moft refpectable teftimonies of its
being taken alive in different parts of the kingdom, but it might have
been introduced by accident in the larva, or more probably in the
pupa ftate: it has been feen at Bath; and either ofes Harris, or
fome of his friends, bred it from the caterpillar. “ Queen of Spain
Fritillaria changed into chryfalis 4pri/, appeared in the winged ftate

May r0th.—Gambling Gay wood, near Cambridge.”

It has ‘alfo been taken near London; Mr. Honey, of Union-ftreet,
in the Borough, took one a few years fince in his garden. I requefted —
the favour of whatever information he could communicate refpecting
this circumftance, and received a note with thefe words :—

“ September gth, 1785.—I. took the Queen of Spain Butterfly in
my garden. (Signed ) Ww. Honey.”

The defcription which Linnaeus has given of our fpecies is, “ longi-
“ roftris, corpore viridi aurato fubtus concolore ;” and Degeer has de-
fcribed it in fimilar words. It is evident that Lzxxus had reafon to
fufpect fome difference of colour between the two fexes, but perhaps
he never imagined the C. Purpureus *, which he had before defcribed,

was alfo one fex, or a variety of the fame Infect.

Geoffroy fays, “ Rhinomacer totus viridi eceruleus ;”° and Fabricius
adds, “ Variat fzepius colore omnino cceruleo. Alter fexus thoracem
“ antrorfum fpinofum gerit.”” How thofe different defcriptions may
be reconciled, fo as to be defcriptive of the two fexes of C. eis
will appear more clearly on farther obfervation,

“Alvate § in Wasi this feafon, being at Darent-Wood, beuees I met
with one of the green kind, and one of a dark blue colour, with a
fhade of green on the elytra; I could not be deceived, they were male
and female ; as a farther corroboration, I met with a fecond pair, in.
a fimilar fituation; and on the day following a third: .the blue one of
this laft pair had not the fhade of green as on the former, but was of

, arich lolly blue purple; and I am greatly miftaken if it is not the

C. Purpureus of Linneus, or the Infect which is arranged in Engh/h —
Cabinets for that {pecies.

I communicated the circumftance of meeting with thofe two Infecs,
which have always been confidered as diftinct kinds, to a perfon who

_ alfo was collecting Infeéts in the wood, on the fame day, and he in-

formed me that he had juft before difcovered them in the fame fituation,
I have examined them very carefully, but cannot difcover any {pines
on the thorax of the green and gold kind, though I have five of them,
but the three purple {pecimens are all fpinous, as defcribed by authors.
Iam of opinion, that the bright coloured fpecimens are all females,
and thofe which are purple, limagine, are males, — |

T mentioned the circumftance to an eminent Entomologift, and he
at firft fufpected they might be mule Infects, generated between the

C. Betule and the C. Purpureus, but that could not be the cafe, as
they were all in copulation when taken.

We have been the more minute in this account, as we confider
the confounding of one fpecies with another fhould ever be avoided,
with as much care as the feparation of varieties into diftinct fpecies ;
both tend to confufe, or fubvert that truth which fhould be the guide
of every enquirer into nature, |

I have received a letter from my refpectable friend TJ. Alarfham,
Efq; Sec. L. S. accompanied with a fpecimen of the green kind of
C. Betulz, that is fpinous on the thorax; together with one of the
blue or purple kind, which is fpinous alfo : he informs me, that though
his purple fpecimen has {pines, he is very certain he has had one with
out; hence it appears to me that they admit of great variation; indeed
it would afford the moft prefumptive argument, that there are males
and females of both colours. Among the purple fpecimens which I
took, there was a confiderable sigerenee in their colours, but of the
five green fpecimens fcarcely two. exactly agreed; one in particular
partook fo much of a vivid crimfon that it might eafily have been
miftaken by a curfory paler for the Curculio Bachus.

This fpecies 3 is by far the moft common of the. ‘Notoneéta ; genus
in England. It is an aquatic Infe&y undergoes its feveral changes in
the water, and in the laft {tate is furnifhed with wings for flight.

In the day-time it may. se obfeiwad-s on the furface e ftill waters 3
it always fwims on its back, with its leys extended. In the evenings
it fies in the air. Found during moft of the fummer months. Moft
authors have defcribed the upper fhells as being of a brown colour,
variegated with clouds of black ; but this appearance is not conftant in
every fpecimen; they lofe much of that colour after being taken out
_of the water, or if the wings are expanded. .

which is fcarcely known among the Englifh Colleétors, and we may
venture to affert on the beft authority has not a place in any cabinet
of Infeéts in this metropolis, except that of the Author; indeed the
only perfon who appeats to have been fo fortunate as to meet with it
except himfelf, is Mr. Lewin, who formerly refided at Dartford; he
Confidered it as fuch an invaluable rarity, that had not a figure of it
been difcovered in Roefel, it would no doubt have been publifhed in
the TranfaCtions of the Linnzan Society ; it muft, however, be ob-
ferved, that the Infe@t Roefel has figured is a foreign fpecimen,

c On

10 PLA BE Exxvi.

On the communication of Mr. Jongs, of Chelfea, we prefume thiat
this Infe€& was formerly known among the Englifh Collectors, and
received from them the appellation Fe/toon Moth, but it muft have been
extremely rare even at that time, as it does not appear im Harris’s Lift
of Englith Moths, nor has a fingle fpecimen, or its remains, been
found among the old Collections, which have been handed down to
the Entomologifts of the prefent day.

On the 16th of Auguft, 1793, I fhook the Caterpillar from one of
the high branches of an oak-tree, in Darent wood, Kent; it remained
motionlefs for fome time when in the net, and I concluded that it might
have fuftained an injury by its fall; but I foon after difeovered that it
was naturally a fluggifh, inative creature, and had received no da-
mage; it remained feveral days in the Caterpillar ftate, but as it was
almoft ready to change into Chryfalis, I had only an opportunity of+
being convinced that oak was its proper food.

: This Caterpillar is a moft fingular creature; at one time it would —
flatten itfelf, and be confiderably extended in breadth, or length; at
another time it would gather itfelf up like an hedge-hog, or become.
almoft round, and in a few minutes after it would be flat again; and
frequently the orange colour on the back would be obliterated; fome-
times it fo nearly refembled the Caterpillars of feveral of the Papilio
tribe, that I fufpeGted it to be one of the Hair-/treak Butterflies, or
rather the Caterpillar of a new fpecies. On the 23d of Auguft it
began to fpin, and in a fhort time after its cafe was completed,

_ The cafe in which it paffed to the Pupa ftate, was very firmly con~
firuéted, and precluded an opportunity of obferving the different
fymptoms of change, which would otherwife have been vifible. ‘This
cafe, which was exactly in the form of an egg, was at firft of a pale
flefh colour, but in the courfe- of a few days it had heightened to a
very fine fanguineous, and after to a {fcarlet, or nearly vermilion co-
_ lour; this colour it retained for feveral months, but as the time for
the emancipation of the Moth within approached, the brightnefs of

red

Pie . By. RMT. tI

sed fomewhat abated, though even after the Fly came forth, much of
the original colour remained.

The manner in which it burfts open the cafe is rather fingular;
it does not force an opening in an irregular form, as moft Infects
which fpin a cafe, but defcribes an exact circle within at one end;
after this it divides its cafe according to that circle, only leaving a
fmall portion to a& as an hinge; when it has extricated itfelf from the
Chryfalis, it forces the top of the cafe back, as fhown in our Figure,
and thereby a free paflage is opened for its delivery.

' The infide of the cafe = perfectly {mooth, and appears as if pos
lifhed by art; it is of a pale blue colour, the Chryfalis within is browns

Upper wings yellow-brown, with dark fhades; a broad irregular

thorax white clouded. Lower wings pale brown.

This fingular Moth is very rarely met with; it has been taken in

Coombe-wood, Surry, and in Kent, but even in thofe places it is very

uncommon.

It is diftinguifhed by the unufyal form of the white markings on the
upper wings, and particularly by the tuft or button which is fituated
in an upright pofition near the center of each; thofe tufts appear only
flizhtly feathered on the upper parts to the naked eye, but when one
of them is examined with a microfcope, or even common magnifier,
it prefents the appearance of a bundle of fibres, inclofed within a thin
membrane; narrow at the bafe, encreafing in bulk near the middle,

We have nothing particular to add to our former account of its
hiftory. In the larva and pupa ftate, it is found crawling at the bot-
toms of pools or ditches, and fubfifts on the larve of Gnats and
other Infects; but in the laft ftate, it leaves its aquatic abode, and
fubfifts on fmall winged infects, efpecially Moths; it is not uncom-

Among the feveral Moths of the Geometra divifion of Phalenz

Thorn Moths, our prefent Infect is neither the moft confpicuous, or
rare; it is however a beautiful creature when taken immediately from

fowling-net; the down being of fuch an exquifite texture that the
flighteft touch muft inevitably damage its appearance,

26 POL A Waa Ok,

The Pupa is market with a brown colour at every annulation im-
mediately after the Caterpillar has pafied to that ftate, but as the crea-
ture within becomes more perfeal, that brown is gradually changed to
a dark, or black colour.

I have obferved much variation in thé colours of different fpecimens
of this fpecies; of three male Infects which I have bred this feafon,
one only correfponded with the annexed figure, one inclined much
more to a red brown, and the other to a dull purple.

I met with the Caterpillars on the oak, and they always preferred
that food to any other. The Caterpillars are fmalf in July, they pafs

to the Pupa ftate in Autumn, and the Moths are to be taken about the.
middle of March.

Although, as we have juit obferved, this Infect does not particularly
claim our regard as a rarity, it does not appear to have been defcribed
by Linneus, or even by Fadricius in his Species InfeGtorum; and no
account of it is included in Berkenhout’s Outlines, in Harris’s Cata-
logue of Englifh Infects, or any other work we have had an opportu-
nity of perufing.

In its manners, the Caterpillar is not more fingular than in its
form; when young it is very active and in continual motion; but as it
grows larger it becomes more fluggifii in its difpofition: it will fome-
times affix itfelf by its hind feet to one of the extreme branches of the
tree on which it feeds, in the fame manner as {hewn in our plate, and
will remain in that pofture feveral hours without the leaft apparent
figns of life.

met with in the month of May, or June; Berkenhout fays it is
found on trees, ferns; &c. I have taken two fpecimens this feafon, one
at Coombe-wood, Surrey, the other at Dartford; they were both con-

cealed cn the under fides of fome dock leaves.

At Fig. I. the creature is reprefented of the natural fize, with the

The

46 PLA BE) URxXxre

The Papilio Antiopa is found in every part of Europe; in Germany,
particularly it is very common; it is as frequent in America as in
Europe, and is efteemed as a rarity only in this country : it is, indeed,
fometimes found in abundance with us, but as its appearance is neither
annual nor periodical, it is generally valued by Englifh Collectors.

There have been feveral inflances of this Infect being found
in different parts of the country in mild feafons, as plenty as the Pea-
cock, or Admirable, Butterflies; in the fummer of 1793 particularly,
they were as numerous in fome places as the common garden White
Butterfly is ufually near London,

But as a proof that its appearance does not altogether depend on the
temperature of the weather, we need only adduce, that not a fingle
fpecimen has been taken this feafon, although it has been one of the
moft favourable for ail kinds of Infects that can be recollected; and
many fpecies of Moths and Butterflies, which have not been feen for
feveral years before, have been taken at Combe-Wood, Darn-Wood,
and fimilar adjacent parts, during fummer, in plenty.

It is from the uncertainty of its appearance that we have fuch dif-
ferent,.and, feemingly, irreconcileable accounts of the abundance and
{carcity of this Butterfly; it was certainly well known as a native of
this country to former Collectors, yet it received only a few years fince
the new name Grand Surprife; this name, which was given by Mofes
Harris, or by fome of the company of Aurelians, of whofe fociety he
was a member, was evidently intended as a fignificant expreffion of
their admiration, not of the beauty of the Infe&t, but of the fingular
circumftance of the fpecies remaining fo long in thofe very places
where the moft diligent refearches of preceding Collectors had beea
made in vain; of their unwearied induftry they were well perfuaded,
and were therefore unable to account for the appearance of a numerous
brood of large Infeéts, which muft have remained concealed many-
years, or been lately tranfported to thofe places.

Harris, in his Aurelian, calls it the Camberwell Beauty, though in
his lift of Englifh Butterflies Hawk-Moths, and Moths, he ufes the

name Grand Surprife: we mention this circumftance, as it appears
very inconfiftent that the new name he adopts in one work, and the

old

Payer E LOK NEX, 47

‘old one he fhould have difcarded in the other, are equally and indif-

criminately ufed in the feveral editions of both; we {till find it in the
Aurelian, “Camberwell Beauty,” in\the other, “ Grand Surprife,”
from which it might be readily inferred, that he meant two diftin& .
Infects, were it not for the addition of the Linnzan name Pap. Antiopa.

In the general defcription of this Infect in the Aurelian, Harris does
not fay that it was fcarce at that time (1775), which he certainly
would if it had been fo; but Berkenhout, in his outlines of Natural
Hiftory, (1789) adds, after its fpecific character, that it is ‘¢ very rare
« in this kingdom.” ‘To reconcile thofe accounts, we can only ob-
ferve, that no Infect is more uncertain as to the time of its appear-
ance; that though found in abundance in one feafon, it may not be
feen in the next, or even for feveral fucceflive years ; it will then ap-
pear in {mall or large quantities, for one, two, or more feafons, and
again difappear for many years as before.

The Englifh fpecimens differ from thofe of other countries in the |
colour of the light exterior border of the wings; in the former, that
part is of a very pale yeilow brown, inclining to a dirty white; in the
latter, it is of a deep yellow, marked and {potted withbrown, fabri=<
cius notices this difference, and fays they are varieties.

The Caterpillars feed on the Willow, and are generally found on
the higheft branches; they caft their fkin early in ‘uly, and pafs to
the Chryfalis, as reprefented in the plate. "The underfide of the But-
terfly is of a black brown, with irregular dark ftreaks; the yellowith
pouier is vifible on that fide.

52 PLATE XCI—XCII.

The Sphinx Euphorbia, confidered as a native of this country, is
without exception the rareft fpecies of the genus we have: and if we
omit the Sp. Porcellus, Lineata, Atropos, with a very few others, we
have no indigenous fpecies that can by any means be compared with
it as a rare, or, we may add, beautiful Infect.

Drury has given a figure of the Sphinx without its changes among
his rare Infeéts, but as a native of a foreign country: and before the
time of Harris it was frequently an object of difcuflion among Aure-
lians, whether it ever had been taken in England; Harris in his
work, expreffes himfelf thus, “It has been long in difpute whether
“ the Spotted Elephant was a native of this ifland; but it is now paft
“< a doubt, as I have had the good fortune to find a Caterpillar of this
“ Moth in marfhy ground at Barnfcray, near Crayford in Kent, about
“ the middle of Augu/? *; it was better than three inches long, of a
«¢ dark brown colour; the horn at the tail part, which was about half
“ an inch long, appeared long and gloffy. ‘The head was nearly the
“ fize of a {mall pea, of a lightifh yellow, brown, or tan colour. I
“¢ tried various herbs to bring it to feed, but my attempts were fruit-
“ lefs, and it died for want+. The Chryfalis in the plate was fent
“ me from Belleifle in France; and the Moth was produced from it
“© about the beginning of Fune.”—Harris’s Aurelian, plate 44.

We are not informed of more than two fimilar circumftances that
may place its exiftence in this country beyond difpute; a damaged
{pecimen of the Fly has been taken at Bath, and is in our cabinet ;
and Mr. Curtis, author of the Flora Londinenfis, 8c. found four of
the Caterpillars laft fummer in Devonfbire.

In the Caterpillar ftate it frequently changes its fkin, and appears
as frequently to alter its appearance; we cannot elfe account for the
difimilarity that prevails among all the coloured reprefentations of the
Infect in that ftate that have come under our infpection; in Reefel’s:
Hift. Inf. we find a figure of the Caterpillar apparently in the Jaft fkin,

* 1778. } It feeds on plants of the Exphorbia genus, as its fpecificmame
indicates.

that very nearly correfponds with our fpecimen; but that figured by

Harris does not agree with either, in the form or number of the fpots.

At an early ftage of its growth the Caterpillar, according to Reefel,
» +s bright yellow, with black patches, and minute white fpecks.

The figure in plate XCII. is copied from a moft perfec fpecimen
of the Caterpillar, and which is now in our pofleffion; but as we
cannot affure eur Subfcribers that it was found in England, we have
been careful to add it in a feparate plate, that fo it may either be in-

The Caterpillar of the Ph. Neuftria are found in June, either on
the white-thorn; black-thorn, or briar fometimes on fruit trees: they
pafs to the Chryfalis ftate in July, and the Moths appear in Auguft.

The female depofits her eggs with fuch rarticular care and regu-
larity, that a clufter of them forms one of the moft pleafing obje€ts for
microfcopical inveftigation ; they are cruftaceous, of a light grey or
bluifli colour, elegantly marked at the broadeft end; they are difpofed
with the greateft fymmetry around the fmall branches of the thorn, and
are fo cemented together that they cannot readily be feparated.— The
appearance of a clutter is reprefented in our plate.

“The eggs are laid in autumn, though they are not hatched till the
enfuing fpring. ‘When the young Caterpillars burft forth, they form
into focieties, fometimes of thirty or forty individuals, fometimes of a
much greater number; they immediately commence the formation of
a {pacious web, and if the weather be fine in two or three days, their
work is completed ; as however they encreafe in bulk, it is neceflary
to enlarge their dwelling, and this they manage either by adding new
external coverings, or encreafing and extending the windings withine
They feldom pafs to the Pupa form in thofe nefts, but feparate in fearch
of a more convenient place for. that pai when they have attained
their full fize.

The Caterpillar, when preparing for its next ftate, weaves a ‘large
filky cafe; within which it forms another fomewhat fmaller ; and thus
enveloped by its double cone, it changes to the Pupa form, » The
Pupa is black, and may be juft difcerned through the two cafes, as res

prefented in our plate.

The figure of the perfect Infect is copied from a female fpecimen
the male is rather darker, and has the Antenne more feathered.

T am not certain whether in the larya ftate it feeds on the Convol~
vulus, although hi found it on a plant of that kind; as its climbing
ftalks and tendrils were fo intricated with branches of white-thorn,
oak, and broom, as to prepipde any accurate determination.

I kept them ina gauze cage for the {pace of a fortnight, and fup-
plied them with’ fretls portions of the different plants every day, but
could never obferve them take the leaft fubfiftence during the whole
time; they affixed their tails and hinder legs in the mefhes of the
gauze when I firft removed them into the cage, and never fhewed
the leaf figns of life after; as they held firmly by the gauze, in the
pofitions reprefented in our plate, I was very much difappointed to find
on attempting to remove them, that twowere dead; May 23d I obferved
that which'was alive threw out avery delicate white thread, as if about
to fpin a cone; the body gradually fhrivelled at the upper part, while .
the lower became proportionably thicker ; two days after it fell to the
bottom of the cage and became a pupa, at firft of a whitith, and after
of. a fine green colour, marked at the narrow end with howe black
freaks. 1 ie 13th the Moth came forth.

Coombe-woed, Surrey; it was lurking beneath a branch of hazel,
among fome fmall Caterpillars that had formed a flight web on the

The Caterpillars of this fpecies are found in their laft fkin about
the latter end of May, or early in June; they change into chryfalis a
few days after. The Moth is pramuced 4 in Augutt. |

‘In the Caterpillar ftate they are met with in great plenty, either on
the crab tree, black thorn, or white thorn; but are not fo abundant
in the laft ftate, as many perifh when i in chryfalis.

They change into chryfalis within a hard cafe, which they faften ta
the {mall ftems of trees.

O The

a, a ae ee 2 CHIT,

The Caterpillars of this Moth feed on the White and Black Thorn,
together with feveral herbaceous plants ; it has been obferved to thrive
_ better in the breeding cage when repularly fupplied with frefh gras,
to keep the former in a proper ftate of moiiture.

The Female depofits her eggs in June or July, the Caterpillars are
hatched in Autumn, and remain in that ftate during the Winter;
about the middle of May it {pins a large brown cafe, within which it
pafles to the Pupa ftate; the Moths appear in June.

In the Caterpillar ftate it is fcarcely poffible to diftinguifh the Male
from the Female, except that the former is fmaller than the latter; but
in the laft ftate their colours are entirely different, the Female being
of a pale yellowifh teint, inclining to fox colour, the Male is of a
rich brown.

The Eggs are very curious, they refemble in fhape thofe of a Hen,
but are neatly mottled with dark brown.

The Caterpillars caft their fkins feveral times, and always thereby
aflume a new appearance, though the general colours and character of
the fpecies may be traced through every ftage. Our figure is copied
from a very large and fine coloured fpecimen of the Female, that
was met with at Darent-Wood, Dartford.

By moft practical Entomologifts they have been confidered as dif-
tinct fpecies, and they may be fuch ; but as we are unwilling to create
confufion by extending the number of fpecies, we prefer admitting
them as varieties under the Fabrician name Emargana.—We are more
readily inclined to adopt this meafure, as we have always found them
. at the fame time of the year, in the fame parts of the woods, and
generally {porting together, which is not commenly obferved of Infects
that are not either varieties or differ only in fex.

They are rarely met with; our fpecimens were taken in June at
Dartford.—T hey have been taken together at Caen- Wood, Hamp-
ftead.

They have not heed defcribed by Linnzeus; but were known among
Collectors by the (now obfolete) name Excavana.
