PAPILIO. 235 



ochraceis ; posfcicis lunulis submarginalibus (iis ad angulum analem interdum rubris) et fascia discali 

 venis septem-partita ochraceis, maeulis quibusdam atomariis ultra banc : subtus anticis fere ut supra, 

 maculis submarginalibus ad apicem evanescentibus ; posticis lunulis submarginalibus septem rubris nigro 

 limbatis, fascia discali fere ut supra extrorsum rubro notata et nigro limbata. 



2 forma prima, fere omnino mari simUis. 



2 forma altera, fasciis alarum multo latioribus et ea in anticis diffusa. 



2 forma tertia, maculis et fasciis omnibus viridescentibus, iis anticarum minoribus et magis separatis, iis posti- 

 carum magis elongatis et introrsum diffusis. 



2 forma quarta, fascia discali posticarum subtus medialiter fere omnino rubra, squamis quibusdam ocbraceia 

 tantum notatis. 



2 forma quinta, prsecedenti similis, sed fascia discali anticarum fere obsoleta.

It is not without some hesitation that we have come to the conclusion that P. Icetitia 

 and P. phaeton must be considered to belong to one species. The types of the former 

 are, as Mr. Butler states, without prominent tails to the secondaries, and the bands of 

 the wings are rather narrow ; but when a series is examined we find both these 

 characters unstable, and we can substitute no others that can be depended upon. 

 Females of this species, or what we take to be such, are very perplexing, as they 

 present such a variety of colouring, especially on the upper surface, as indicated above. 

 Besides the forms there described, we have an imperfectly-developed specimen, evidently 

 a female, which partly combines the characters of the yellow and green banded types. 



P. phaeton was described and figured by Lucas in Castelneau's Voyage 1 from a 

 specimen submitted to him by Dr. Boisduval, said to have been obtained in the interior 

 of Brazil. It is now known as a species found commonly in Colombia, and we have 

 specimens both from the neighbourhood of Bogota and from the Cauca valley. 



It is probably a denizen of the mountain forests. Mr. Champion found it as high as 

 from 4000 to 5000 feet on the Volcano of Chiriqui. 



70. Papilio cephalus, sp. n. (Tab. LXXI. figg. 4, 5 6 .) 



P. phaetonti similis, sed anticis fascia discali ultra cellulam haud extensa, maculis submarginalibus in serie 

 arcuata nee bisinuata positis : subtus margine nigro fasciae discalis lunulis glaucescentibus notato, cauda 

 mediana valde elongata ; capite et protborace supra immaculatis nee ocbraceo obscure punctatis. 



2 ignota.

This species is founded upon a single male specimen in Dr. Staudinger's collection. 

 It is closely allied to P. phaeton, but differs in the points indicated above, which, though 

 small in themselves, seem, when taken together, sufficient reason for separating it.
