(J ? . Snbmarginal spots of both wiugs smaller than in sontherQ specimens, 

 those of hiadwiug more or less bluish. We have received from the American 

 Ent. Co. (Mr. G. Franck, who has shortly described it in 1905, I.e.) a curious 

 specimen which deserves special description, as it corresponds in pattern to the 

 ab. calverleyi of P. polijxenes aste/'lu.s. It was captured in June at W'estfiud, New 



Jersej'. Upperside. — Forewing : snbmarginal sjjots enlarged, extended to edge 



of wing, where they are conflaent; costal edge thinly creamy white at apex ; distal 



margin slightly nndnlate. Hindwing : orange costal spot small, discal Imiid 



olive-bnfF, rather well defined and narrow, not entering cell ; snbmarginal spots 

 extended to margin, bluish, fringe entirely creamy white ; a yellow anal sub- 

 marginal streak, a yellow marginal spot M' — M-, and another behind M^ ; dentition 

 of wing feeble ; the colour of the snbmarginal spots pervading the tail, except a 



black central streak. On tiiulerside the marginal bands as above, but the spots 



composing that of the hindwing a little more distinctly separate and all orange 

 mesially ; the orange discal spots all present, inclusive of spot R' — M' ; tail black, 



except at edges. The specimen has also a very peculiar neuration. Forewing : 



costal vein forked before middle of wing, the fork being on a level witli the point of 

 origin of SC, the short additional (anterior) branch extending a little beyond apex 

 of cell : SC before angle of cell ; M- forked in middle, the two branches remaining 

 separate in the left wing, while in the right wing the branches unite again before 

 reaching the edge of the wing ; on both wings there is an additional discal spot 

 between the two branches, and on the left wing also an additional spot at the 

 margin ; sjjur of median nervure continued distad for one-third the way to distal 

 margin — this additional vein being the so-called first submedian, of which the spur 

 of Papilioiiidae is the remnant. On the hindwing M- forked on the left wing 

 beyond the orange discal spots of the underside, on the right wing before these 

 spots, there being on the latter wing an additional discal spot and also a spot at 

 the margin.

 pale subbasal baud on hindwing or on both wings, and a streak behind SM-.

Described by Ehrmann from a single specimen said to be from " Houston, 

 Texas." The Texas specimens which we have seen agree much better with the 

 previous form than with Florida individuals. The locality given by Mr. Ehrmann 

 is perhaps erroneous.
