PAPILIO. 203 



maculosa multo elongata ad angulum analem producta, maculas septem composita : subtus anticis maculis 

 indistinctis duabus ochraceis, una in cellula altera ultra earn ; posticis maculis cinnabarinis multo angus- 

 tioribus obscurioribus et lunulatis, maculis ultra eas ochraceis nullis. 

 $ eodem modo differt. 



Hab. Mexico, Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer) ; Beitish Hondueas, Corosal (Boe) ; 

 Guatemala, Copan (Zcettling 1 ), Polochic valley, Chuacus (F. D. G. & 0. #. 3 ); Hon- 

 dueas (Standing er). 



Mr. Strecker's drawing of Eeakirt's P. copance 2 shows that the type is a female 

 of the same species as that described by Mr. Bates a few months afterwards as 

 P. chrysodamas, from specimens obtained by us in Guatemala. The species may 

 readily be distinguished from P. munitor, to which it bears a strong general resem- 

 blance, by the absence of submarginal ochreous spots on the secondaries beneath, 

 and in having a row of three small double spots on the primaries near the anal angle. 

 These, on the under surface, are continued and curve inwards so as to enter the cell. In 

 the female this extension of these spots appears on both surfaces of the wing. 



The range of P. copance appears confined to the forests of the eastern side of Central 

 America from Yucatan to Honduras ; it is by no means common, but few specimens 

 having reached us. 



Its allies in South America are P. laodamus of Felder and P. belemus of Bates from 

 Colombia and the Lower Amazon respectively. 



19. Papilio procas, sp. n. (Tab. LXV. figg. 15, 16.) 



P. copance similis, sed fascia posticarum a margine externo magis distante, cellulaB finem occupante ; lunulis 

 obsoletis concoloribus inter earn et marginem externum : subtus lunulis cinnabarinis et lunulis ciliaribus 

 latioribus. 

 5 adhuc ignota. 



Hab. Mexico, San Bias (Richardson). 



Mr. W. B. Richardson recently sent us a single specimen of a Papilio from San Bias, 

 on the coast of Western Mexico, closely allied to P. copance, but differing in the width 

 and position of the band of the secondaries, which cuts across the end of the cell instead 

 of lying wholly outside it, and there are other small differences which we have pointed 

 out above. 



20. Papilio lepidns. 



Papilio lepidus, Feld. "Wien. ent. Mon. v. p. 72 ] ; Eeise d. Nov., Lep. p. 40, t. 10. f. a 2 . 



S alis nitide atro-virescentibus certa luce viridi-seneo micantibus, ciliis inter venas angustissime albis ; posticis 

 vitta costali virescenti-alba : subtus fucescentibus ; anticis plaga irregulari vena mediana et ramis suis 

 quadripartita et macula subanali virescenti- albis omnibus interdum obsoletis; posticis maculis septem 

 submarginalibus lunulatis cinnabarinis nigro circumcinetis, macula apicali obsoleta aut nulla, punctis ex- 

 trorsum obsoletis albidis, abdomine supra ad apicem virescenti-albo ad basin nigricante. 



2 mari similis, sed anticis supra plaga ochracea, vena mediana et ramis suis quadripartita notatis; posticis 

 vitta costali angustiore ad basin haud producta ; abdomine supra omnino nigricante.
