Tbe locality given b_y Kollar for his agiitholdi's is doubtless erroneous. The 

 specimen agrees with certain individuals from Colombia iu which tlie patch of 

 the hindwing is very jiale. We are the more convinced that agathoklcs came 

 irom Colombia, as Kollar records also Papilio americus from the Orinoco, where 

 it is hardly likely to occnr, being in Colombia and Venezuela a species of high 

 altitudes. Prince Sulkowsky, who brought these specimens home, went up the 

 iiio Slagdalena in Colombia, crossed the Cordillera of Bogota and came down 

 the Rio Meta and Orinoco, which accounts for errors in localisation.

c?. Forewing : green band more or less reduced, no spot before M' either 



above or below. Hindwing : no spot in cell or only a minute one, the band 



pale in most individuals and very narrow : first spot of underside, R' — R-, much 

 smaller than the last. 



?. Forewing : patch R- — R^ on the whole larger than in an-iphus, sometimes 

 nearly as long as patch W — M' ; most specimens with a white streak in front 



of apex of cell ; cell-patch often completely filling in apex of cell. Hindwing : 



band very pale, narrow, standing ontside cell or just entering apex ; spot SO- — R' 

 (the first of the Bogota form) absent from most specimens. 



Hab. Cauca valley. 



This is one more instance of the reduction of the markings observed among 

 the Cauca Papilios. As in the case of P. eritkalion cauca and P. euryleon pithonius, 

 we find also here all intergradations between the Cauca and Magdaleua or " Bogota" 

 forms. It appears to us that intergradations are especially often oliscrved iu the 

 lower as well as the upper districts of the Cauca valley, while the typical (_'auca 

 forms come from the middle portion of the valley.
