this ridge and the orifice on each side of the ktter a rather long and slender 

 pointed process. 



Each sex dichromatic, with iutergradation. These forms are : — 



a. J-f. hjppason Cram. I.e.; ///j/paso/iuh's Gvose-Simth, I.e. Baud of fore- 

 wing broader than the interspace between the band and cell, its inner edge crossing 

 vein SW. 



b'. (?-f. ptilion nov.— Band of forewing narrow, farther away from cell than 

 in the preceding form, and usually continued farther forward, the spots separate ; 



hindwing above with fonr or five red spots, seldom less. Type of name from 



Iquitos. 



c'. ?-f. amosis Cramer, I.e. Forewing with hardly a trace of a white 



patch. 



d'. ¥ -f. paraeiisis Bates, I.e. Forewing with large white or huffish patch. 



variable in extent, often entering cell. 



Early stages not known with certainty. Stoll's figures may belong here, though 

 Burmeister refers them to P. androgens (= pohjcaoii).

88. Papilio pelaus Fabr. (1775). 



Papilio Eques Trojanus pelaus Fabricius, Syst. Enl. p. 444. n. 9 (1775) (" ludia," Diury). 

 Papilio ornofagus Weidemeyer, I.e. p. 147 (1863) (sub syn.). 



In Jones's unpublished drawings P. pelaus is figured from Drury's collection. 

 As Fabricius described the insect from this collection, Jones's fignre may be taken 

 as representing the type of pelaus. The figure agrees best with specimens from 

 Jamaica, from which island Drnry possessed many insects. Westwood's figure 

 (1842) was apparently taken from the same specimen. 



(??. Sexes similar, but the markings rather larger and the submarginal sjiots 

 of the upperside usually more numerous in female than in male, and larger beneath 



than above. Forewing with a creamy band from costal margin to hinder angle 



standing just outside cell or entering it. A row of rufous red submarginal 



spots on hindwing parallel to distal margin, the upper spots absent from male ou 

 upperside, the last spot more or less creamy ; a discal row of small creamy sjiots 

 on underside, sometimes rufous, rarely absent, in female occasionally marked also 

 on upperside. 



Genitalia : i. Tenth tergite spatulate ; harpe of the same type as in F. 



a«e/«"s/«f/«s, long, non-dentate, aj)ex ])roduced into an acute process. ?. Proximal 



ridge of vaginal cavity membranaceous in middle and here hardly raised, laterally 

 dilated, rounded ; lateral dentate lobe spatulate, rounded at apex ; bearing two or 

 three teeth ; the process standing at orifice short, broad, widened laterad, triangular ; 

 the mesial ridge extending from this process forward bicarinate, the edges being 

 raised. 



Larva described by Cockerell (1893).
