New Granada? (Coll. Felder.) 

 A species of considerable range, and presenting slight modifications through- 

 out, which, however, are not local or confined to particular sections. These 

 are well expressed by Dr. Felder, 1. c, p. 27, and may be briefly stated 

 thus. In the varying size of the white or yellowish white spot between the 

 two last median veinlets of the fore wings, and also in the width of the sub- 

 triangular green band ; in the presence of one or two greenish streaks of dif- 

 ferent lengths within the cell above the white spot, and in the longer or 

 shorter red spots upon the hind wings. 



Papilio tonila, Reakirt. 



Pap. aristomenes, Felder, Zool. d. Novara Exp., p. 38, n. 27, t. viii., f. a. 

 (1865). 



Bab. Guatemala. (Coll. Tryon Reakirt.) 



Mexico. (Coll. Entom. Soc. and Felder.) 



The only difference between Dr. Felder's excellent figure, and the speci- 

 mens in my possession, and the cabinet of the Society is, that his aristomenes 

 has a white dash above the subcostal vein of the primaries absent in all 

 which I have seen. I do not doubt but that they are identical. I do not 

 believe that tonila is the 9 of caleli, as indicated by Dr. FeMer in his 

 Speci<s Lepidopterorum, p. 296, n. 107 (1864) ; it is more nearly related to 

 the $ of int/lotes, Gray, than cahli is to the ^ of that species. 



Pap. caleli and tonila belong to a group of nearly allied forms of peculiar 

 facies, all inhabiting the northern parts of South, or the tropical portions of 

 North America ; their co-members are mijlotes, Gray, timias, Dbldy., and 

 eurimedes, Cram. ; the last, possessed of the greatest range, is most probably 

 the parent stock of the other and segregated species.
