 Chiriqui (Arce), Bugaba (Champion). — Colombia. 



This beautiful species is most nearly allied to P. hi/ppodamas of Felder, from Colombia, 

 but may readily be distinguished by its paler sulphur colour, its narrower darker 

 margin, and by the band which crosses the middle of the cell terminating abruptly 

 instead of being carried forward to the middle of the outer margin ; the secondaries 

 beneath have a band which runs from the middle of the costa and joins the middle of 

 the dark outer border. In the allied species this band is merged in the border itself. 

 The first specimens received of P. orabilis were included in Van Patten's large Costa- 

 Rican collection described by Messrs. Butler and Druce 3 . It has since been found in 

 Chiriqui ; there is also a specimen in the Berlin Museum from Mr. Sarg, marked as 

 having come from Guatemala. We have no other evidence of its occurring nearly so 

 far north. Recently Mr. Druce has received a specimen from Colombia, probably from 

 the valley of the Cauca *.

 Papilio lacandones, Bates, Ent. Monthly Mag. i. p. 4 1 . 



Alis pallide ochraceis ; anticis margine costali (fere totam cellulam includente) et margine externo brunneis ; 

 maculis tribus costalibus et lineolis quatuor apicalibus, margine externo parallelibus, ochraceis ; posticis 

 margine externo et interno anguste brunneis, lunulis submarginalibus ab apice usque ad venam me- 

 dianam flavis, lunulis alteris cserulescentibus ad angulum analem, maculis duabus ad angulum ejusdem 

 coccineis : subtus ut supra sed pallidioribus ; posticis maculis sex rubris margine externo brunneo inclusis. 



Hab. Guatemala, forests of Vera Paz, Choctum (F. D. G. & 0. S. 1 ), Cubilguitz 

 (Champion) ; Panama, Veraguas (Arce). — Ecuador ; Peru. 



The first specimens of this species were obtained by us during a visit to the low-lying 

 forest-region of Northern Vera Paz, at an elevation of about 1200 feet above the sea, 



* Messrs. Butler and Druce include P. servittei in the list of Van Patten's Costa-Eican butterflies 3 , but its 

 .occurrence in that country requires confirmation.
