Hab. Minas Geraes. 
Mr. Rogers and his son, who are working hard in Minas Geraes, 
have sent the very distinct species now described, together with some 
new Lrycinide, and many most interesting Hesperide, amongst which 
I expect to find that about twenty are new. They have succeeded in 
taking the female of Morpho diga, of which I do not remember to have 
seen a specimen in any of the European collections, and also a Papilio 
which is new, unless it should prove to be the female of P. Mentor. 
All the species above described are in my own collection.
