Fabricius gave India as the habitat of this species, but in the Encyclopedic 
Methodique it is said to be from South America, being in that work doubtfully regarded 
as the female of the Brazilian species Nymphalis Iphis of Humboldt and Bonpland's 
voyage, which is therein considered as identical with the Papilio (N.) Morvus of 
Fabricius, by whom also India is given as the habitat of the last named species.

MORPHO MENETHO. 
Plate XXX. fig. 1. 
Genus. Morpho, Fabricius, Latreille , Godart. 
Species. Morpho Menetho : alis dentatis fuscis, strigis duabus submarginalibus macularum 
flavarum, subtus flavescentibus, fasciis duabus fuscis. Expans. alar. unc. 3f. 
Morpho: with brown dentated wings, and with two rows of submarginal yellow spots, 
beneath yellowish with two brown fasciae. Expanse of the wings, 3f inches.

This insect is nearly allied to Morpho Tullia, Fabricius. The present figure does 
not precisely agree with the Fabrician description ; but as both were, in all probability, 
derived from the same source, Mr. Jones’s collection of drawings, there can be but 
little doubt upon their identity.
