LLOYD S NATURAL HISTORY. 



GENUS EUDAMUS. 

 Eudamus, Swainson, Zool. 111. Ins. ii. p. 48 (1833). 



The type of this genus is E. proteus (Linn.), a very common 

 species throughout tropical America. It measures about two 

 inches across the wings, which are brown, broadly green 

 towards the base, and with several square vitreous spots on 

 the outer part of the fore-wings. The hind-wings end in a 

 long broad obtuse tail. We have figured another species, 

 more varied in its colours. 



EUDAMUS BRACHIUS. 

 {Plate LXIX. Fig. i.) 



Papilio orion, Drury (nee Cramer), 111. Exot. Ent. iii. pi. 17, 



figs. 3, 4 (1782). 

 Goniurus brachius, Hiibner, Zutr. Exot. Schmett. iv. p. 8, figs 



609, 610 (1832). 

 Eudamus doryssus, Swainson, Zool. 111. Ins. ii. pi. 48, fig. 2 



(1833). " 



A Brazilian species, about the same size as E. proteus, but 

 with comparatively short tails, curved outwards. The wings 

 are black, the fore-wings with about four square or oblong spots 

 across the broadest part ; and the tails and, on the under side, 

 all the borders of the wings, except the costa, are white. 



GENUS ENTHEUS. 



Entheus, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 102 (1816). 

 Pharaas, Westwood, Gen. Diurn. Lepid. p. 515 (1852). 



A small South American genus, including a few rather 

 brightly-coloured species. The one figured is remarkable for 

 the disparity of the sexes, which Linnaeus not unnaturally re- 

 garded as distinct species.
