 Papilio Polymetus. Godart in Ency. Meth. vol. ix. p. 35. no. 28. 



First described by M. Godart; unless, indeed, it may not 

 hereafter prove a variety of P. Lycander (Cramer, PL 29. 

 CD.) which approaches as near to the male, as P. Hippason 

 does to the female. The first sex is here represented at the 

 upper and under figures ; the middle is of the female, which 

 M. Godart has not described. It is a native of Brazil ; I 

 found it at Bahia only in certain woods, and subsequently 

 met with a variety in the province of Rio Janeiro, differing 

 only in being much larger.
