ATE.— MILANION. 403 



him by Herr Eibbe from Chiriqui. We now trace the species over the whole of 

 Central America, from Eastern Guatemala southwards. We have also specimens of 

 Buckley's collecting from Ecuador. 



The hind tibiae of the male, like those of A. jovianus, have a single pair of spurs and 

 a long tibial tuft. 



The male genitalia are like those of A. jovianus and A. proxenus. 



MILANION, gen. nov. 



Papilio hemes, Cramer, which we take as the type of this genus, was assigned to 

 Paramimus by Mr. Watson, but differs in several respects. The antennas have a 

 longer sharper club, the cell of the primaries is wider and relatively shorter, those 

 wings are less rounded, and the general style of coloration is distinct. 



Besides the species described below and M. hemes we place in this genus Pythonides 

 leucaspis, Mab. (Pet. Nouv. Ent. ii. p. 230), from a specimen of which we have taken 

 the male genitalia. These have a tegumen terminating in a widely divergent pair of 

 points, the scaphium is well developed, and the harpes very simple, ending in a single 

 slightly upturned blunt lobe ; on the inner surface of the base is an elongated piece with 

 a thickened dorsal edge, bearing a few well-defined teeth. (See Tab. LXXXVII. fig. 1.) 



1. Milanion marciana, sp. n. (Tab. LXXXVJI. figg. 2, 3.) 



Alis nigris ; anticis maculis quinque subapicalibus in linea irregulari transversa positis, duabus inferioribus 

 maximis, secunda a costa minima, semibyalinis ; fascia mediana venis tripartita a vena mediana extra 

 cellulam ad marginem internum, in posticis producta sed multo latiore, aream medianam occupante usque 

 ad marginem internum alba : subtus ut supra ; palpis subtus albis, apicibus nigris ; abdomine medialiter 

 late albo cincto. 



2 adhuc ignota. 



Hah. Panama, Chiriqui (Bibbe, mus. Staudinger), Bugaba (Champion). 



We have seen two specimens of this species, one of them lent us by Dr. Staudinger. 

 The well-known Papilio hemes, Cramer, is the nearest ally of M. marciana; but differs 

 in having a much narrower median white band to the secondaries, besides which there 

 s a white spot in the cell, not shown in the present insect. 



2. Milanion marica, sp. n. (Tab. LXXXVII. figg. 4, 5.) 



Alis nigris ; anticis maculis quinque subapicalibus, fere aequalibus, ea costa? proxima paulo elongata, semi- 

 hyalinis, macula altera inter venam medianam et ramum suum secundum ejusdem coloris ; fascia mediana 

 transversa costam fere attingente, per cellulam ad marginem internum ducta et posticas transeunte, ad 

 angulum analem alba : subtus ut supra, alis ad basin glaucescentibus ; palpis subtus albis, apicibus nigris. 



Hah. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt). 



We have a single specimen of this species from Belt's collection. It is in rather poor 

 condition, and we are in some doubt whether it is rightly placed here. It bears some 

 resemblance to Potomanax, but the primaries are more elongated than is usual in that 

 genus.
