b. P. poli/zelus trichopus subsp. nov.

t? ? . Til)iae and first tarsal segments hairy and somewhat incrassate. Spots 

 of hindwing on the whole larger and nearer to the margin than in the preceding, 

 the baud being in one of the females only 2i mm. distant from cell, in male usually 

 a small spot behind M-. The posterior marginal spots of fore- and hindwing often 

 edged with red. 



Genitalia : S . Harpe distally broader than in the preceding, denticulate.

$. Papilio Equi's Trojanua ijihidntna^ Fabrieius, Eiil. Stfsf. iii. 1. p. 17. n. 52 (1793) (type: Jones's 

 drawing). 



c?. Tibiae and first tarsal segments somewhat incrassate and densely hairy. 

 ?. Forewing : spot R^ — RMarger than R' — M' (Central American form), or 

 smaller (South American forms). For differences between the Colombian females 

 of this species and the females of the allied insects see p. 472. 



Genitalia: c?. Harpe more curved than in P. lijcimenes and erithalio7i, besides 

 the large ventral tooth with several small teeth, which are variable in size and 

 number. 



Hab. Mexico to Ecuador anil North Venezuela. 



The drawing of Jones, upon which the name iphidamas is based, represents 

 in our opinion a Central American female of the present species. The band of the 

 hindwing is too uniformly red for a South American female of this or any allied 

 species. The P. idaeus of Fabrieins, likewise described from Jones's drawing, is 

 also a Central American form. 



As only P. iphidamas is known to extend into Mexico as f;ir north as Vera 

 Cruz, there can hardly be any doubt that the Central American males are mated 

 correctly with the females described below. It is interesting to observe that the 

 proportional size of the two discal sppts R^ — M' of the forewing (?) is reversed in 

 the forms from Colombia and Ecuador, as is the case also in several other Papilios.
