Habitat in Brasilia, taken at Tenente, near Fiirinha- 

 podre (D. Burchell). In Mus. Oxonia3. 



This species is nearest allied to the Brazilian P. 

 Pompeius, Proteus, and especially to Pantlionus, ? , from 

 which it differs in the very large size of the fore- wings, 

 which imparts to it a certain degree of resemblance to 

 some of the broad-winged species of Euploea. 



The unique specimen collected by Dr. Burchell appears 

 to be a female, and in both of the hind-wings the ex- 

 tremity of the second branch of the median vein is muti- 

 lated, so that it might possibly be inferred that the 

 species was a tailed one, but for the circumstance that, 

 in the PapilionidEC, it is the third branch of the median 

 vein which is extended into the tail. The discoidal cell 

 of the hind-wing terminates in an acute angle ; the third 

 branch of the median vein arising at the apex of the 

 angle, the space between the second and third branches 

 of the median vein being almost precisely of equal length 

 with the lower disco-cellular. 



The last-mentioned character, together with the large 

 immaculate fore-wings, will distinguish this insect from 

 the great mass of black South American Papilios with red 

 spots on the hind- wings.
