THE LICARSIS BUTTERFLY. 
Papilio Licarsis. 
PLATE XLIX. 
Papilio Lieasis, Cramer, Desc. de Papillons, pl. 63, fig. c. 
Tus remarkable butterfly is black; the upper 
wings have two sesquialterous light blue bands, 
continued through the under wings,—which ave 
much elongated, with very long caudate wings ; 
about the centre of the anterior margins of which 
they are deeply indented ; there are two transverse 
light blue spots a little way above the caudate 
wings ; and near the middle, at the inner margin, 
are similar spots of scarlet, and also one on each 
side of the anterior margins of the upper wings, 
close to the body ; antenne, short and erect ; along 
the posterior margins of the caudate wings, are nar- 
row bands of white ; body, very short. 
This very uncommon butterfly is a native of 
Surinam, and is, perhaps, one of the most curiously 
formed of the papilionaceous tribe.
