It is singular that Fabricius appears to have overlooked 

 this species, sufRciently well figured by Cramer to point out 

 its leading characters, though very inferior to the beauty of 

 the insect. M. Godart has, however, recorded it in his 

 account of this superb genus in the Encyclopedie Metho- 

 dique ; and the minute and clear descriptions which this 

 able entomologist has given throughout that work, merit 

 the highest eulogium. Our own figures will, however, render 

 a detailed description in this place unnecessary. 



M. Godart says, this insect is found both in Guiana and 

 Brazil. In the latter country, I met with it only in the 

 province of Rio de Janeiro, where it is common.
