3. THORYBES DAUNUS 



Papilio damns Cramer, Pap. Exot. n, 44, pi. oxxvi, F, 1777. 

 Papilio bathyllus Abbot & Smith, Lep. Ins. Ga. I, 43, pi. xxn, 1797.

Some females of pylades and bathyllus are difficult to sepa- 

 rate but as a rule the size of the spots and color of the palpi in 

 this species are characteristic. The males of this and the fol- 

 lowing species are easily separated from the others by the absence 

 of the costal fold. 



Florida north and west to Pennsylvania, Iowa, Nebraska and 

 Texas. I have seen southern specimens dated May and August, 

 while farther north the species occurs from June to September.
