As this P. Columbus of Herrich-Schaeffer belongs to quite a different division 

 of the subfamily Fapilioninae than P. columbiis of Kollar and P. columbiis of 

 Hewitson, we employ that name for the present species, instead of the later name 

 gundlachianiis, according to our rules of nomenclature.* 



The species comes close to the Brazilian P. ascanhis and agavus. The tibiae 

 of the male are hardly at all incrassate, bearing bristles and numerous small hairs. 

 The blue scales of the wings are entire, while the scales in the costal area on 

 the npperside of tlie hindwing and in the posterior area on the underside of the 

 forewing are dentate as in the allied species. The anal submarginal spot M- — SM- 

 of the hindwing is absent from the npperside, being small and short on the 

 underside. As a remnant of a discal band there are on the underside of the 

 hindwing three or four white bans proximally of the red spots. The distal edge 

 of the forewing is dotted with white, as in the Aeneas Group. 



Scent-orgau as in P. agavus and allies. 



Genitalia iu general structure as in P. agavus and allies, but characteristically 

 modified, <J. Clasper short, rounded ventrally, the inner surface deeply concave,
