The rarest of all the Brazilian papilionidae, not a great specimen but now only known from 1 remaining colony at Barro De Sao Joao on the east coast of Rio De Janeiro Brazil, the site of the only known colony was in the early 1980's undergoing development as a recreational area, I don't know what the current status of this last shrinking colony is but it must be teetering on the edge of extinction now.
