PAPILIO. 209 



posticis fascia discali coccinea venis medianis quadripartita ; ciliis omnibtfs inter venas albis: subtus 

 saturate brunueis ; anticis immaculatis ; posticis fascia discali ut supra, sed maculis omnibus introrsum 

 rosaceo-albis ; maculis quatuor ad basin coccineis. 

 2 mari similis ; anticis macula albida majore et in pagina inferiore obvia. 



Hab. Panama, Lion Hill (M'Leannan 3 ). — Colombia 5 ; Venezuela 67 . 



We have no doubt that Mr. Bates was correct in naming two specimens of this 

 Papilio from Panama, P. ilus of Fabricius ; and that P. hostilius is a synonym of the 

 same species. Of the latter we have the Venezuelan types before us, and they agree 

 accurately with our Panama male. 



P. ilus must be a scarce insect with a very limited range. Besides the specimens 

 already referred to, only one other example has come under our notice ; this was taken 

 by Mr. Simons at Manaure in Northern Colombia 5 . 



31. Papilio guaco. (Tab. LXVII. fig. 1 6 .) 



Papilio guaco, Staud. Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 91 \ 



P. ilo similis, sed anticis angustioribus, magis falcatis, macula anticarum magis elongata et trifida, macula 

 posticarum discali latiore cellulam fere extendente. 



Hab. Panama, Chiriqui {Bible l ). 



This is apparently a northern form of P. ilus of Panama, but may be distinguished 

 by the characters mentioned above. It has only been met with by Dr. Staudinger's 

 collectors in the neighbourhood of Chiriqui. We have a single male specimen from 

 him, and there is another in the Hewitson collection in the British Museum. 



32. Papilio clusoculis. 



Papilio clusoculis, Butl. Cist. Ent. i. p. 85 l ; Lep. Ex. p. 163, t. 58. f. 2 2 ; Butl. & Druce, P. Z. S. 

 1874, p. 364 3 . 



Ali a nigricantibus ; anticis macula rotunda infra venam medianam albida, ramo mediano secundo bipartita ; 

 posticis plaga magna mediana coccinea, cellulse finem occupante, macula ad angulum apicalem, altera 

 infra earn, et ciliis inter venas albidis : subtus fuscescentioribus ; anticis plaga albida ut supra sed minore ; 

 posticis plaga mediana multo minore cellulam nullo modo occupante rosacea, venis quadripartita ; lunulis 

 quinque submarginalibus coccineis, alteris exterioribus albidis, ea ad angulum apicalem maxima, omnibus 

 interdum obsoletis, maculis duabus basalibus coccineis ; corporis lateribus coccineis, abdomine infra albido 

 notato. 



$ ignota. 



Hab. Costa Kica (Van Patten 1 2 ) ; Panama, Veraguas (Arce). 



The types of this species formed part of the large Costa-Bican collection described 

 by Messrs. Butler and Druce 3 , and are the only ones we have seen from that country, 

 and but one has reached us from the State of Panama. The nearest ally of P. clusoculis 

 is P. euryleon of Colombia; it may readily be distinguished from that species by the 

 shape, colour, and position ot the spot on the primaries.
