Sexes very dissimilar, the female resembling certain females of Aristolochia 

 Papilios, occurring like the.se in forests, while the male frequents more open 

 localities. The female bears also a close resemblance to P. ?s>(/orus and 

 P. rhodostictus, being, however, easily recognised by the colour of the spots on the 

 thorax and the huffish line on each side of the abdomen. 



S ■ The band of the forewing is interrupted between R- and 11' ; however, 

 there is occasionally a spot in front of W which is sometimes so large as to bridge 

 over the gap, though not entirely filling it up. On the underside of the hindwing 

 there is a discal row of five or sis rufous red spots, variable in size, the last 

 standing before abdominal margin ])roximally of the anal submarginal spot; of this 

 row the fifth spot counted from behind is the largest in nearly every specimen. 



? . Wings brown-black. Forewing with or without white patches, in our 

 only Bolivian specimen on underside a creamy buff, submarginal, ill-defined 



band. Hindwing, on yppernidc, with a complete row of red submarginal sjiots 



and an incomplete row of red discal ones, the discal row extending from SM- 

 forward to R' or R^ ; the discal and submarginal spots R' — M^ in the South 

 American forms always merged together to large elongate patches, often also 

 spots R- — R' forming together a third patch, these jmtches occasionally creamy 

 on the Amazons, the development being on the same lines as in P. isidorus and 

 P. rhodostictus ; the rows of sirots remaining separated in the Mexican form. 



Genitalia : S . Tenth tergite spatulate, sternite on each side with a distally 

 truncate ridge which is more strongly chitinised than the rest of the segment, the 

 ridges of the two sides forming in dorsal view a pair of ( ). Clasper somewhat 

 acuminate ; harpe broad, widening distally, being widest a short distance from 

 ajiex, the ventral edge almost straight, the dorsal edge slightly angnlate, apex 

 obtuse, the surfixce feebly concave, distally practically flat and longitudinally 

 wrinkled, the edges ajiically densely denticulate, dispersed minute teeth also along 



the ventral edge. ?. Edge of vaginal orifice raised proximally into a large 



obtnse process which is curved distad, being longitudinally impressed on the 

 proximal surface, slightly tapering apically, the apex being truncate ; behind 

 the orifice a small rounded lobe densely covered with minute hairs ; laterally 

 of the vaginal process several low ridges connected with one another, no large 

 dentate lobe as in P. anchisiades and P. hectorides.
