Mens. Mabille, to whom I showed this insect, considered 

 it to be F. incria, Hew., but I do not hold the same 

 opinion. 



Mr. H. J. Adams has a specimen, identical, from the 

 same locality. 



Watson, P.Z.S., 1893, p. 14, states that picria, Hew., 

 and machaon, Hew., are probably not congeneric with 

 ipliinov.s, Latr. (the type of Minioniades) nor even with 

 each other. Mons. Mabille has recently erected a new 

 genius for ^>?e/'ia, i. e. Croniadcs " Gen. Insect." Fasc. xvii, 

 p. 13), which he has placed first in the list and included 

 machaon with it.
