This, like the preceding, is a species we have been enabled to 

 determine from the Fabrician MS. and the drawings of Mr. Jones. 

 Fabricius, it appears, was not entirely decided in his mind whether 

 the two Papiliones figured by Cramer, plate 29 fig. e, under the 

 name of Hyppason, and that in the same plate, fig. f, named Euristeus, 

 ought in reality to be considered as appertaining to this species ; and 

 pieferring the name of Dimas which had been previously given to it 

 by Mr. Jones, he has described it under that name, allowing the 

 references to Cramer, above quoted, to remain as synonyms. The 

 Naturalist may rely with implicit confidence upon its being the 

 Papilio Dimas of Jones and Fabricius. 



This is rather larger than the former, the general colour black : 

 on the anterior wings, in the middle, is a large white spot, so situated 

 upon the junction of the ribs that they pass distinctly through it and 

 give the appearance of a spot cleft at the sutures. The sanguineous 

 palmate spot on the posterior wings is six cleft : and besides this there 

 is a small spot of red upon the scollops, between the dentations at 

 the margin of the posterior wings. The colours and spots appear 

 beneath as above, but only paler. 



Papilio Dimas is a native of Brazil, and bears a near affinity to 

 Papliio Anchises.
