? not known. 



Genitalia as in P. aristeus, but tenth sternite anally in middle with two teeth 

 side by side, not one behind the other. Harpe with two simple prongs as in 

 P. aristeus and P. cleotas cleotas, the upper proug a little longer than the lower, 

 not lying close on the clasper, the dorsal apical edge of the harpe being a little 

 twisted away from the latter. 



Ilab. Huamba, Dept. Amazonas, North Pern ; in coll. Oberthilr. 



Only one specimen is known. The insect stands intermediate between P. aristeus 

 and P. cleotas, bnt has longer tails than these species. The band in the middle 

 of the forewing being very narrow above and very broad below is an interesting 

 character. 



IIT. Papilio garamas Hiibn. (1834?).

This purely Central American species consists of five subspecies, of which the 

 differences in pattern, though not very striking, are almost constant in a series, 

 being moreover accomjJanied by interesting differences in the genitalia. 



<?. Costal edge of forewing serrate ; a pale j'ellow baud from costal margin 

 pro.Kimally of apes of cell to distal third of hindmargin ; a row of submarginal 

 spots of the same colour, starting at distal fourth of costal margin, consisting of 



four or more spots, the fourth and following spots standing near the distal margin. 



Hindwiug strongly dentate, teeth M' and M- prolonged, tail long, asymmetrically 

 spatulate ; a continuous discal band as on forewing, of about even width, strongly 

 and regularly dentate on distal side ; a row of submarginal bars, sometimes absent ; 

 a row of blue postdiscal blotches, varying in number, often small or vestigial. 



Underside like upper, bands paler, especially that of hindwing ; submarginal 

 row of spots of forewing usually continued to hinder angle. — -Band of hindwiug 

 edged with orange-tawny distally ; submarginal crescents longer than above, more 

 or less orange or tawn3--orauge. 



?. Dichromatic, at least in Mexico. One form is devoid of the yellow discal 

 band on both wings. The forewing bears a row of olivaceous buff postdiscal 

 blotches and a row of small submarginal spots, there being on the hindwing a row 

 of strongly arched discal crescents which are bright brick-red or orange-rufous, 

 followed by a row of blue patches and a row of submarginal spots ; on the underside 

 of the forewing there is sometimes a trace of the discal band of the male. 



The other form resembles the c?. There are occasionally some small spots at 

 the distal side of the cross-veins of the forewing, corresponding to the distal branch 

 of the forked baud of P. homerus. 



Genitalia of the same type as in P. aristeus, victorinus, etc. <S . Tenth tergite 

 long, strongly compressed beneath, jjrismatical, except at apex ; sternite with a 

 broad lateral lobe, which is divided by a groove and a sinus into a proximal 

 and a distal projection, there being anally in the middle sometimes a distinct 

 conical tooth as in P. aristeus. Harpe long, fiat, similar to that of P. aristeus and 



P. homerus, geographically variable. ?. Almost exactly as in P. /ioi?ierus, the 



vaginal tubercle and the lateral process somewhat dentate, the posterior lateral 

 ridge visible without dissection. 



Early stages not known. 



Hab. Mexico to Panama.
