This species is represented by a single individual, in perfect preser¬ 
vation, in the Coll. Ent. Soc. Philadelphia, and was collected by Mr. 
Ezra T. Cresson in Western Texas. 
PMloehrysa regnatrix m. 
This name I believe correctly to refer to Euthisanotla timais Cra¬ 
mer, a species which may be regarded as a native of South America 
and the West Indies, but which occurs at different localities along our 
coast. The occurrence of tropical Lepidoptera Heterocera on our coast 
is not unusual: I took a specimen of Erycata Cramer, in the summer 
of 1860, near the Castle Garden, New York city, and the specimen is 
now in the collection of Mr. Edward L. Graef of Brooklyn, L. I. I 
the more readily fell into the error of re-describing this species, in that 
I was disposed to assign it a somewhat different position, in a systematic 
arrangement, from that accorded to it by Messrs. Guenee and Walker, 
and which latter position, in due deference to these authorities, I must 
consider the more correct one. I have no alterations to suggest either 
to my description or figure, the generic diagnosis, however, as given by 
Mr Walker, based on more numerous material, is more correct and 
complete than my own. The locality for this species given by Cramer, 
Coast of Coromandel,’’ if correct, supposes for it a very wide geogra¬ 
phical distribution. 
Description of a New Species of North American PAPILIO. 
BY AUG. R. GROTE. 
Papilio Calverleyi nov. sp. (Plate 10. % . -s) 
% . Anterior wings black; the interspaces, in the terminal half of 
the wing, are occupied by a series of bright yellow patches which, dis¬ 
tinctly separated by the black veins, extend from costa to internal 
angle, become obtusely pointed towards the discal cell, and are broadest 
at the black marginal space where they partly absorb a series of yellow 
oblong marginal spots situate in the center of the interspaces; emar- 
ginations yellowish. 
Posterior wings black at base ; terminal interspaces bright yellow, 
The detached wings on the right of the figure represent the under surface.
