230 CATALOGUE OF DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



Par! (Presented 1845, by Mrs. J. P. G. Smith) B.M. 



Linnaeus does not describe the under surface of P. Pinihceus ; he 

 gives the locality " in Asia," which might almost lead one to sup- 

 pose his species to be a moth (Soritia Leptalina, Kollar) ; only the 

 description of the body does not at all suit that insect. 



2. Leptalis Clio. 



Papilio (H.) Clio, Cramer [necZmn., part. Fabr.~], " alis oblongis, 

 integerrimis, fuscis, anticis albo maculatis, posticis fascia alba." Pap. 

 Exot. iii. pi. 257. figs. D, E (1782). 



Fabricius, Mant. Ins. p. 15. n. 150 (1787) ; Ent. Syst. iii. p. 171. 

 n. 531 (1793). 



Not in the collection of the British Museum. 



Mr. Doubleday has referred this species to the genus Itkomia, 

 but in many respects it more nearly resembles the Leptalides of the 

 Lysinoe group. 



3. Leptalis Melite. 



cJ . Papilio (H.) Melite, Linnaeus, " alis oblongis, integerrimis, 

 flavis ; anticis supra nigris, lineis duabus fasciaque flavis : habitat 

 in India." Clerck, Icon. pi. 44. fig. 5 (1764). 



Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 460. n. 71 (1775) ; Sp. Ins. p. 27. 

 n. 108 (1781) ; Mant. Ins. p. 13. n. 126 (1787) ; Ent. Syst. 

 iii. p. 360. n. 494(1793). 



Var. Brazil. B.M. 



The specimens in the British -Museum collection diifer from Clerck's 

 figure in having the discoidal streak continued into the discal band, 

 two subapical spots in the front wings, and a narrower marginal band 

 in the hind wings. 



4. Leptalis Crisia. 



Papilio (H.) Crisia, Drury, " alis oblongis, integerrimis, atris ; an- 

 ticis acuminatis, fascia, posticis disco flavis : habitat in America 

 meridionali." Ill iii. pi. 37. figs. 1, 2 (1782). 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 166. n. 515 (1793). 



Rio Janeiro, Brazil. (Obtained from Mr. Bonifas) B.M. 



Drury's figure of P. Crisia seems to represent a variety without 

 the usual pale discoidal streak ; the absence of subapical spots in 

 the same figure is an omission, for in his description he remarks that 

 " three small faint white spots are situated near the tips " of the 

 wings. 



5. Leptalis Licinia. 



Papilio (D. C.) Phryne (part.), Fabricius [P. Licinia, Cramer], " alis
