• PAPILIO. 241 



maculis cseruleis luniformibus et extra eas squamis paucis ocliraceis, lunulis submarginalibus latioribus, 

 posticis elongatis, profunde dentatis, vena mediana valde elongata, caudata, incurvata, ramis suis quoque 

 elongatis, primo exeurvato. 

 $ mari similis, posticis magis profunde dentatis et caudatis. 



Hab. North-western America from Oregon and Montana southward to Arizona and 

 New Mexico. — Mexico 1 , near Durango city (Becker), Jalapa (F. J). G., Edge), Cordova 

 (Bumeli), Orizaba (H. J. Elwes), Omilteme (H. H. Smith), Oaxaca (Fenochio) ; 

 Guatemala, Duefias, Los Altos (F. D. G. & 0. S.). 



This fine species was described by Boisduval from specimens sent from Mexico, where it 

 is not uncommon in the upland parts of that country, as far south as the State of Oaxaca. 

 It occurs also in the highlands of Guatemala between 5000 and 8000 or 9000 feet 

 above the sea, frequenting open grassy tracts. Its northward extension reaches to 

 Oregon; but northern specimens are, as a rule, smaller than Mexican, and of a lighter 

 yellow colour ; their markings, however, appear to be essentially of a similar character, 

 and the outer margin is deeply dentate.

Papilio pilumnus, Boisd. Sp. Gen. i. p. 340 l ; Reak. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. p. 127 2 ; Men. Cat. 

 Mus. Petr., Lep. ii. p. 110, t. 7. f. 2 3 ; Strecker, Lep. Rhop. et Het. p. 13, t. 2. f. 3 4 . 



Prsecedenti similis, sed fasciis alarum omnibus latioribus ; anticis fasciis transversis tribus nee quatuor ; posticis 

 margine externo nigro ad angulum analem valde sinuato et ferrugineo limbato : sultus fascia transversa 

 communi introrsum fuliginosa ; posticis margine externo nigro introrsum profunde sinuoso, lunulis suis 

 nigerrimis irregulariter sitis, lunulis submarginalibus ochraceis ferrugineo tinctis. 



Hab. Noeth Ameeica, Colorado and New Mexico 4 . — Mexico x 3 , Vera Cruz 4 , Eincon, 

 Xucumanatlan (H. H. Smith) ; Guatemala, Polochic valley, Duefias, mountains near 

 Coban (F. D. G. & O. S.). 



This species also was first described from Mexican specimens 1 , and it has a very 

 similar range in our country. It is found at a rather lower elevation, as it occurs 

 between Acapulco and the Sierra Madre del Sur, at a height of about 3000 feet, and is 

 also found in the same range up to 7000 feet above the sea. In Guatemala it also 

 occurs at very varied altitudes. In North America it occupies more restricted area 

 than P. daunus, as there are no records of it northward of Colorado. Like P. daunus, 

 it frequents open grassy plains. 



80. Papilio alexiares. (Tab. LXXII. figg. 6,7 c?.) 



Papilio alexiares, Hopff. Stett. ent. Zeit. 1866, p. 31 \ 



P. dauno similis, sed P. turno forsan proximus, fasciis anticarum quatuor latis secunda et tertia distinctis, mar- 

 gine externo nigro latiore, fascia maculosa submarginali vix ulla ; posticis margine externo leviter sinuato, 

 cauda sicut in P. turno, lunulis submarginalibus obsoletis.
