2. With the fascia on the fore-wings gradually widen- 

 ing to the hind-margin ; it is more oblique, so that its 

 inner edge, where it joins the posterior margin of the 

 wing, is not more than half-an-inch from the thorax^ In 

 the hind-wings the fascia is very broad and ovate, 

 extending to, and along, the anal margin, from opposite 

 the extremity of the abdomen nearly to the fulvous 

 lunule of the ocellus at the anal angle. There is a brilliant 

 coloured specimen of this variety from South India, in 

 the British Museum. This, according to M. Guerin^s 

 views, ought to be considered as the male of P. Pali- 

 tmirus {Brama, Guer.) . I have not had an opportunity 

 of carefully examining the sexual organs of these butter- 

 flies, and if it should be ascertained that the specimens 

 with the broad fascia of the hind-wings are not exclu- 

 sively of one sex, it will be necessary to give a distinct 

 name to this No. 2. 



3. (P. Dcedahis.) The fascia of the fore-wings is 

 here also gradually widened to the hind-margin, and is 

 more transverse, its inner edge, where it reaches the 

 posterior margin of the wing, being nearly three-fourths 

 of an inch distant from the body, and the fascia in the hind- 

 wing is more oblique, conical in form, and extending at 

 its extremity next the body, only to the inner upper 

 angle of the anal ocellus. This agrees with Guerin's 

 figure (pi. I. fig. 2), of P. Palinurus. 



It appears to me evident from these descriptions, that 

 M. Guerin-Meneville has misapplied these specific names ; 

 that his P. Brama is identical with the P. Palinurus of 

 De Haan (pi. 7, f. 3) and with P. Begulns of Stoll. ; whilst 

 his P. Palinurus, with the green bar not extending beyond 

 the cell of the fore-wings, and with the dark fascia on 

 the underside of the hind-wings, is identical with P. 

 Daedalus, of Felder.
