Again, at page 245 of the 'Genera,' I find Papilio codomannus 

 of Fabricius placed as a synonym of Catagramma astarte. The 

 type specimen, however, of the former appears to belong to a distinct 

 species intermediate between C. astarte of Cramer and C. cynosura 

 of Doubleday ; it differs from C. astarte as follows : — 



Upperside — front wings with an orange instead of crimson sub- 

 apical spot * ; hind wings with a narrower central crimson band. 



Underside — front wings with longer and slightly broader subapical 

 yellow band ; hind wings proportionally longer, the central ocellate 

 spots less angular, the discal ocellate band in the typical form 

 clouded, especially towards the costa, and the yellow submarginal 

 band broader and not waved. 



This species differs from C. cynosura, on the upperside, in the 

 shorter discal band of the front wings and the elongate band of the 

 hind wings ; on the underside in having no orange costal patch in 

 the hind wings, the discal band in the type clouded, and the sub- 

 marginal yellow band not wavedf. 



The synonymy of these insects will therefore be —
