232 EHOPALOCEEA. 



P. rogeri similis, sed anticis ad apicem magis nigricantibus ; posticis fascia discali duplici maculosa lilacino- 

 rubra : subtus anticis fere immaculatis squamis quibusdam albidis ad cellulae finem ; posticis maculis 

 discalibus in serie duplici positis. 



$ mari similis, maculis posticarum discalibus ad angulum apicalem extendentibus. 



Hab. Mexico 1 , Oaxaca (Fenochio), Putla (Bebouch). 



P. pharnaces was described by Doubleday from a specimen in the collection of 

 Mr. Conrad Loddiges, said to have come from South America 1 . Gray subsequently 

 described and figured it from a specimen in the British Museum, doubtfully referred 

 to Guatemala 2 . All the specimens we have met with are from the Mexican State of 

 Oaxaca, where we believe it is alone to be found. It is one of a small group, which is 

 probably purely Mexican. In size it equals P. rogeri of Yucatan, but differs in many 

 respects, as pointed out above. It is much larger than either of the following species, 

 each of which apparently has a distinct domicile. 



65. Papilio phanostratus, sp. n. 



P. pharnaci similis, sed multo minor, alis nigricantioribus, posticis elongatis maculis discalibus multo mino- 



ribus, seriebus duabus magis approximatis. 

 2 adbuc ignota. 



Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Edge). 



We have two specimens of this form of P. pharnaces, which were contained in Herr 

 Hoge's collection made at Jalapa. Its small size and more elongated secondaries, which 

 have smaller discal spots and a more acute elongated tail, seem to separate it from the 

 allied form. It probably, too, has a distinct domicile confined to the eastern flank of 

 the mountains of the State of Vera Cruz. 



66. Papilio polycharmus, sp. n. (Tab. LXX. fig. 10 s .) 



Prsecedenti similis et statura ejusdem, posticis multo magis elongatis, fasciis duabus maculosis magis separatis, 



cauda longiore. 

 $ quoque ignota. 



Hab, Mexico, Presidio de Mazatlan (Forrer). 



This species, which is also allied to P. pharnaces, is of the same small size as P. pha- 

 nostratus ; but, besides the differences pointed out above, it appears to occupy a very 

 different country, which lies in the State of Sinaloa between the Sierra Madre and the 

 Pacific Ocean. We have a single male specimen taken near Mazatlan by Mr. A. 

 Forrer. 



67. Papilio rhodostictus. 



Papilio rhodostictus, Butl. & Druce, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 364 \ 



P. panclioni similis, sed anticis fere unicoloribus fascia cellulari a fine magis remota ; posticis magis rotundatis 



et serratis caudam acutam ferente, macula discali lateritia baud lilacino lavata. 

 $ mari similis, sed plaga posticarum majore et ciliis inter venas ad angulum analem lateritiis.
