Maiiposilla que vas volando 

 Eiitri' his lloros de cste jardiii, 

 Que iiiqiiiotii vagas acanciando 

 Rojos claveles, bianco jaziiiin. 



Deja que mire tus alas bcllas 



Y saque de ellas, 



El polvo de oro lindo y sutll, 

 Que encanto presta, que d& hormosura 

 A tus colores, a tu figura, 

 Como las auras al fresco abril. 

 No desdeflosa mi lado dejes, 

 Que aunque te alejes, 

 Tras tu belleza siempre he de ir, 

 Cu&l tras las ondas va el pececillo, 

 Tras del diamante su puro brillo, 



Y tras del cielo su azulzafir. 



CORTAZAR. 



Imago (57 : 2). Head large, clothed with not very long, erect hairs, longest just in 

 front of the antennae, very short posteriorly. Front somewhat tumid, a very little 

 protuberant down the middle below, the greater portion projecting a little beyond the 

 front of the eyes though but slightly above the middle; slightly depressed above, the 

 lateral carinae wanting ; below the antennae the front is fully as high as broad and of 

 about the width of the eyes on a front view ; upper border projecting very n.arrowly 

 between the antennae, where also, as a little below, there is a slight, longitudinal, 

 median sulcation and two faint ridges run at right angles to each other in front of and 

 p.artially limiting the antennal pits ; lower border broadly rounded. Vertex a little 

 tumid, slightly protuberant behind in the middle, forming a very broad, rather low, 

 transverse ridge, the middle third of which is straight and transverse, the outer thirds 

 with broadly rounded tips directed angularly forward ; the portion in front is very 

 slightly tumid, separated by a rather distinct sulcation from the ridge, but connected 

 directly with the front. Eyes rather large and very full, naked. Antennae inserted 

 with their anterior half in the middle of the summit, separated by a slender ridge only 

 scarcely broader than the thickness of the crust of the second antennal joint; a little 

 longer than the abdomen, composed of thirty-four joints a little constricted at their 

 bases on the inner side, the apical ten forming a triquetral club, the angles of which 

 are rounded and the outer surface a little hollowed ; club from two and a half to 

 three times as broad as the stalk and four or five times as long as broad, increasing 

 very gradually in size so that the inner limit of the club is indefinite, the third and 

 fourth from the tip largest, the last two joints forming a well rounded apex, the last 

 joint being very small indeed, instead of rather large, as in the other native genera of 

 Papilioninae ; inner edge slightly serrate. Palpi very minute, rather stout, reaching the 

 middle of the front of the eye, heavily beset with scales and fringed with not very 

 long hairs curving strongly upward. 



Prothoracic lobes obsolete. Patagia very small, flat, scarcely three times as long as 

 broad, the base forming an elongated oval, the apical half a nearly equal posterior 

 lobe, half as broad as the base, slightly constricted in the middle, curved a little out- 

 ward, the apex well rounded. 



Fore wings (40 : 1) twice as long as broad, the costal margin very slightly irregular
