Below, the basal half of the upper wings is blackish brown, and the rest grey-brown. The lower wings are also grey-brown, and round their edges are seven rather large eye-like spots. Thelower half of each spot is buff, then comes a curved streak ofblack, and the upper edge is white. The insect is a native ofAmboyna. On Plate XII. Eig. 1 is seen an insect which very muchresembles the preceding species, but was shown by Mr. A.Butler to be perfectly distinct. Its name is Papilio Joesa, and 558 INSECTS AI.KOAD. it is a native of Queensland. The black margins on the uppersurface of the wings are not so deeply toothed, and on the undersurface the eye-like spots are much paler.
