Hi there. I'm not if this post will be read as I'm not familiar with the forum, but I have been researching a Buckley family tree and came across this discussion about Clarence Buckley. I believe I know something of the origins of the man. Another forum speculated he was the son of a Colonel Frederick Buckley, who collected butterflies in India. www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=274562. I have been researching one of his sons. As I know that Colonel Buckley had another son Clarence Buckley in India, born 1832, and the dates seem to fit, I was wondering if this would be helpful information.

phil,
Thank you very much for the interesting lead. It certainly sounds likely to be the same Clarence Buckley.
Adam.

I've meant to upload these photos for some time: an antique pair of Papilio manlius, endemic to Mauritius. As you'd expect, it's quite difficult to come by nowadays. The female isn't in the best of condition, but being very scarce and a nice historic specimen, I'm pleased to have her anyway.

Impressive specimens !
FYI Joseph and Leon de Joannis are 2 famous French early entomologists.
Especially Joseph who was President of the S.E.F. (French Entomological Society) from 1908 to 1916. Both brothers were ecclesiastic and received many butterflies from missionaries all over the world, especially from the francophone areas like Mauritius.

Thanks for the interesting information! I had heard of de Joannis previously, but I didn't know that there were 2 of them P. CariƩ is remembered by the aberration Papilio demodocus f. cariei, which has greatly extended yellow markings.

Great specimens Danny,I love how they used to set the forelegs on papilionidae, once my friend who was an old school entomologist asked me why I didn't set mine this way after I sent him a batch of pictures, my reply that it was 2010 and not 1910 went down like a lead balloon.
