Hab. in Indiis (Fabricius) ; West Indies (Westwood). This species may be a Debis. I believe that Fabricius occasionally uses the locality "in Indiis" instead of "in India." 130. PAPILIO CANTHUS.

This species appears to me to be allied to Lasiommata dejanira (Europe) ; it bears a strong resemblance to Debis portlandia (United States). Linnaeus, in his ' Sy sterna Naturae' (1766), briefly characterizes this species, and refers for a fuller description of it to the ' Amceni-tates Academicae,' published in 1749. Fabricius refers to P. ar-ganthe (sic), Cramer, i. pi. 17. t. 204. f. C, D, as his species. This figure, however, does not at all agree with his description. The following species does not belong to the genus Euptychia, but is identical with Chionobas bore, Ochsenheim. See Fabricius's type in the Banksian Collection:- 131. PAPILIO POLIXENES.
