We have a large series of specimens from various parts of Tropical America, which 

 we have no hesitation in referring to Papilio hanno of Stoll, nor do we see how examples 

 from Florida can be specifically separated ; the species occurs also in several of the West 

 Indian Islands. Regarding the North-American insect, we are not sure under what 

 name it passes, but we believe it is the same as that indicated in Mr. Strecker's 

 catalogue as L. antibubastus of Hiibner. 



In Central America the only species it can be confused with is L. zachcBina, which 

 it resembles very closely ; it has, however, only a single submarginal black spot on the 

 underside of the secondaries between the median branches, whereas in the allied species 

 there are two in this region. 



L. hanno is a very common insect in many parts of Central America.

Praecedenti similis, sed posticis subtus maculis duabus submarginalibus nigris inter venam medianam et ramou 

 suos. 



Hab. Mexico, Mazatlan (G. Mathew), Ventanas (Forrer), Jalapa (W. Schaus), Cordova 

 (Bumeli), Oaxaca (Fenochio) ; Guatemala, Polochic and Motagua valleys (F. D. G. 

 & 0. S.), Chacoj, San Geronimo, and Zapote (Champion), Duenas (F. D. G. & 0. S., 

 Champion); Honduras, San Pedro (G. M. Whitely) ; Nicaragua, Chon tales (Belt, 

 Janson) ; Costa Rica ( Van Patten 12S ). 



This is a close ally of L. hanno, differing solely in having two black submarginal 

 spots on the underside of the secondaries instead of one. The specimen described by 

 Messrs. Butler and Druce as the female of this species has really nothing to do with it, 

 but must be referred to L. isola of Reakirt, as is clearly shown by the marked types 

 before us. 



This insect has a wide range in Central America from Mexico to Costa Rica, being 

 especially common in Guatemala and Nicaragua, where it appears entirely to sup-
