There are specimens of P. Pyrrhus from Amboina in several private 

 collections. It is evident that Linnaeus described the species from 

 Clerck's figure ; for in his private copy of the 10th edition of his 

 ' Sy sterna,' in the Library of the Linnean Society, he has not marked 

 it as in his collection ; but in the collection a specimen of Drury's 

 P. Athamas bears the typical label.
