Jamaica. B.M. 



According to Bates, this species occurs throughout the Amazon 

 region in cultivated places, frequenting flowers (see Journ. Entom. 

 December 1861). 



There are two poor specimens of P. Polydamas in the Banksian 

 Collection in the British Museum. 



15. Papilio Belus. 



Papilio (E. T.) Belus, Cramer, " alis dentatis, virescentibus ; pos- 

 ticis margine interiore pallido, subtus fuscis, lunulis rubris : habitat 

 Surinami."

16. Papilio Ilus.

 habitat in America." 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. p. 17. n. 51 (1793). 



Not in the National Collection (see G. B. Gray's ' Cat. Lep. 

 Pap.' p. 59. n. 271). 



Mr. Bates * remarks upon this species that " the Panama exam- 

 ples agree precisely with the description given by Fabricius seventy 

 years ago. As the species is not found in Guiana, Brazil, or the 

 recently explored parts of Venezuela and New Granada, it has not 

 been seen by subsequent writers on the genus, and two other quite 

 distinct forms have been made to bear the name." Whether 

 these conclusions are correct or not there can, at any rate, be no 

 doubt about the true identification of the species in Mr. George 

 Gray's Catalogue of Papilionidce ; for the author of that work made 

 a tracing of the figure in Jones's * Icones,' which certainly bears 

 out his views of the true affinities of the species ; this tracing is 

 now in my possession. 



17. Papilio Lysander. 



Papilio (E. T.). Lysander, Fabricius (nee Cramer), "alaa anticae 

 atrse, striga media alba ; posticae dentate, atrae, macula media magna 

 alba posticeque lunulis tribus anguloque ani rubris : habitat in 

 India."
