wliich were all untailed. The yellow longish spot?<, 

 which form the transverse band on both sides of 

 the inferior wings, are thrice as long as they are 

 broad ; they fill up the space which, in the P. Pam- 

 moriy (in Jablonsky*s figure, tab. xix. fig. 4.) is 

 covered by blue scales. On the under side of 

 the lower wings, in the back angle, there is a 

 brownish-yellow spot in the form of a crescent ; 

 the convex side is turned to the inner margin. In 

 some specimens a small red-brown point is \ei't 

 also on the upper side of this spot. Besides the 

 usual white spots of the exterior edge of the low^er 

 wing, between the scallops, there is on the under 

 superficies, opposite to each of them, another small 

 white transverse spot, sometimes in the form of a 

 crescent. The circumstance of my once having 

 seen this butterfly, in conjunction with the Pap. 

 Poh/tes, F. induced me to examine my specimens, 

 and I found that all three of the present butterfly 

 were males, and my two polytes females. Both 

 butterflies are greatly distinguished from each 

 other, yet they have, on close examination, some- 

 thing in common, but only on the under super- 

 ficies. Here both have, in common, as well the 

 fine white longitudinal stripes at the roots of all 

 the wings, as the stripes on the belly, and the 

 white points on the thorax.
