However, these distinctions are by no means reliaMe, the species being apparently 

 in a process of separating in an Atlantic and in a simtliern and Pacific form. 

 Two kinds of striking aberrations from the ordinary type are known : 



a', ab. u-asmuthi Weeks, I.e. ? . Marginal sjjots of both wings very mnch 



enlarged, forming large patches; on the underside of the hindwing these patches 

 are luero-cd together with the orange spots into a complete band, the veins remaining 

 very thinly black. One specimen in tlie Tring Mnsenm. 



b'. ab. mex. acauda Obertli., I.e. ; P. nezahualeoyotl Strccker, I.e. ; /'. rorhis 



Godm. & Salv., I.e. $. Tail of hindwing reduced to a tooth ; the metallic distal 



area of the underside of the hindwing reduced in width (always ?), its inner edge 

 (and the white discal dots) being far separate from cell. This form is known only 

 from Mexico (Yacatan ; Guadalajara). 



Hah. of F. ph. ■philenor : Atlantic States and Southern Canada, but in the 

 latter country and New England only a straggler, appearing sometimes to breed 

 where Arisfolochia sip/to is found (as a cultivated plant) ; its range being originally 

 less extended on account of the true food-plant {A. serpentaria) not occurring in 

 N. England and Canada ; Mexico, from Vera Cruz to the Pacific Coast ; Colorado ; 

 Arizona ; California.

cJ?. A small form, with short rounded hindwing bearing a tooth instead of 

 a tail. Upperside of hindwing more strongly glossy than in P. ph. philenor, 

 ispecially in female. Glossy area of underside of hindwing touching cell, the 

 apex of which is also somewhat metallic.
