moreover, that the spots of the head and thorax and the markings of the under surface 

 of the secondaries are similar, show conclusively that such must be the case. 



The position of P. erostratus thus lies with P. torquatus and the group in which the 

 sexes differ widely in the coloration of their wings. 



I. P. PANDION group.

The secondaries have no definite fold, and the inner margin, as in the two preceding 

 groups, is concave. The foliate appendage of the front tibia is attached nearer the 

 proximal than the distal end of that joint. The harpes are like those of P. erostratus, 

 having a rounded end, from the middle of which proceeds a central spine with some 

 dentate processes on either side (see Tab. LXX. fig. 11). The scaphium is like that 

 of P. epidaurus. The median nervure of the secondaries is generally but slightly 

 produced, and not at all in P. pandion. The sexes are similar in coloration. 



Also a Neotropical group, the range of the most northern species coinciding with the 

 northern limit of that region. Southwards it extends to Southern Brazil.

It is a question whether the Mexican and Central- American form of this Papilio is 

 referable to P. idceus of Fabricius as represented by Donovan in his 'Insects of India.' 

 The figure is a bad one, and shows a yellow band on the primaries not found in any
