This is an exceedingly well-marked species of very wide range, being found occasionally 

 in the Southern States of North America, and uninterruptedly from Mexico to South 

 Brazil. The male is readily known by the orange patch on the primaries and the orange 

 border of the secondaries, and presents no tangible points of variation. The female varies 

 in the extent of the red border of the secondaries. Papilio arieye of Cramer represents 

 the form in which the red band is most pronounced, and P. melanijppe the least. Both 

 forms occur indiscriminately wherever the species is found. 



C.philea occurs in abundance with its congener C. eubule and with Phcehis argante &c, 

 from the sea-level up to an elevation of 4000 or 5000 feet. The females, according to 

 Mr. Bates, frequent flowers in open semicultivated places. There are two Antillean species 

 allied to C. philea, viz. C. thalestris and C. avellaneda ; both are found in Cuba, and 

 the former also in the island of Haiti. The males of both these species have a black 

 spot at the end of the cell by which they are easily distinguished from C. philea.
