CATALOGUE OF DIUHNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 239 



Rio Janeiro, Brazil. (Obtained 1850) B.M. 



This is evidently the P. Harrisianus of Swainson : in the ' Man- 

 tissa' Fabricius describes the species as having the wings tailed, 

 " alis caudatis, atris ; " the description " posticaB dentatae " must 

 therefore be taken from a mutilated specimen. Jones figures Drury's 

 P. Agavus as P. Lysander.

 (1787); Ent. Syst. iii. p. 8. n. 21 (1793). 



Rio Janeiro, Brazil. (Obtained 1850) B.M. 



The P. Astyagas of Drury (111. iii. pi. 35. fig. 4), being pub- 

 lished in 1782, will sink into a synonym of P. Asius.

Papilio (E. A.) Dolicaon, Cramer, " alis caudatis, albis, limbo 

 communi nigro, posticis utrinque punctis marginalibus albis : habitat

 it sometimes assembles in dense masses on the moist sand and mud 

 on the banks of the river (see Trans. Ent. Soc. v. pt. 8 : 1860).
