Papilio HydASPES : alls integerrirais fuscis coeruleo micantibus, 

 posticis subtus flavis, linels annularibus nigris

Papilio Hystaspes : Fabr. Sjpec. Ins. t. 2. jo. 57. 254. 



A splendid Brazilian species of the Papilio tribe, described by 

 Fabricius from a specimen in the Banksian cabinet. It occurs in 

 the first instance in his Species Insectorum, under the name of 

 Hystaspes*, and subsequently in his other works under that of 

 Hydaspes -|". The naturalist will perceive upon collating the des- 

 criptions, that it is the same insect which Fabricius has described 

 under those two different names ; and the identity is further shewn 

 by the Fabrician MS. annexed to the drawing of the species in the 

 collection of Mr. Jones. Our drawings are taken from the specimen 

 in the Banksian cabinet, which Fabricius described. 



This butterfly is allied to a natural family of very beautiful 

 insects to which the species Codomannus appertains, that will be found 

 inserted in the third plate of the present work : from which, however, 

 on due comparison, it will appear to be specifically different. As the 

 figures in the annexed plate must render any further description of this 



* Hystaspes, the Persian, the son of Arsames.
