THE STATIRIAN BUTTERFLY. 

 Papilio Statira. 

 PLATE XLVIII. 



Papilio Statira, Cramer, Desc. de Papillons, pi. 120, fig. 

 c. D Colias Statira, Swainson's Illus. Zool. 



THE wings are diluted yellow, or fulvous ; the 

 anterior with a black border and central dot, which, 

 beneath, is ferruginous ; posterior beneath, each with 

 two unequal snowy spots ; palpi lengthened. 



Swainson says this insect is only to be found in 

 Brazil ; and thinks that Godart and Latreille have 

 erroneously considered it as a variety of Colias 

 juguthina, which he considers as a native of India 

 only.
