This is not the /. ^EJgle of Hiibner or the P. Clio of Cramer ; Fabri- 

 cius quotes Cramer's P. Eurimedia, which is a very distinct species. 

 Donovan, in his ' Naturalist's Repository,' states that Jones's figure 

 was inscribed by Fabricius with the name of P. Hippodamia : but 

 this is not the fact ; for the figure is inscribed by Mr. Jones, and not 

 even mentioned in the Fabrician MS. list appended to the volume.

Linnseus confounded two species under the name of P. Clio, first, 

 the Ithomia, figured by Madame Merian (probably a local form of /. 

 Egra, Hewitson), and secondly an Eresia, subsequently described 

 as P. Nauplia (Nauplius, Clerck), and labelled " P. Clio " in the 

 Banksian Collection.

Papilio (P.) hyalinus, Fabricius, " alis rotundatis, integris, conco- 

 loribus ; anticis hyalinis, margine fasciisque nigris ; posticis testa- 

 ceis : habitat . . . ." An I. Lavinia, var., Hewitson ? 

 Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 185. n. 571 (1793).
