I liave no doulit that all the varieties which I have figured represent the species figured by 

 Herrich .Scliasfler in his Lep. Exot. I think tliat they are probably referable to the P. Hyginius of 

 Stoll ; but as he says that the wings of his insect are crossed by two bands of tlie same colour — 

 " d'un jaune brunatrc" — I have thought it best to adopt the name of Boisduval.
