Papilio asclepuis (!), id., I.e. 



Messrs. Godmau and Salvin were wrong in considering Hiibner's figures as 

 representing two females ; the second figure is that of a male of the present sub- 

 species. The Mexican material at the disposal of these authors was insufficient, 

 which explains that the West and East Mexican forms were treated by them as 

 being identical, while the forms from Guatemala and farther south are described 

 as belonging to two separate species. 



The West Mexican specimens are larger than East Mexican individuals, the 

 dentition of the hindwing is stronger, the tail is more spatulate, and the pattern is 

 different. 



c?. Uppersicle. — Forewing : an evenly curved row of five or six snbraarginal 

 spots, often a seventh or even an eighth spot indicated ; no olivaceous buff blotches 



on disc ; proximal edge of median band more even than in P. g. abderus. 



Hindwing : median band not entering cell, or only just the extremity ; submarginal 

 spots distinct. 



Underside : no blotches on disc of forewing. Hindwing : distal orange 



projections of band shorter than in abderus, the anterior portion of each projection 

 shorter than the portion behind the vein. 

 ? . Two forms. 



a'. ?-f. amisa uov. — Similar to male; forewing often with some small spots 

 at upper angle of cell and distally of the cross-veins, the spots being larger below. 



b'. ?-f. garamas Hiibn., I.e. — Resembling abderus ?-f. amerias. Postdiscal 

 olivaceous buff spots of forewing arched ; crescents of hindwing much smaller than 

 in ¥ -f. amerias, their horns being much shorter ; blue spots larger ; submarginal 

 spots thinner ; no vestiges of median band, or only a very few buff scales in cell. 



Genitalia : <?. Proximal lobe of tenth sternite broad, denticulate, sometimes 

 sinuate ; mesially at apex of the sternite a tooth as in P. aristeus. 

 Ilab. West Mexico : Guadalajara, Cuernavaca, Oaxaca.

c. P. garamas baroni subsp. nov. 



(?. Upperside. — Forewing : a row of five submarginal spots, the fifth spot 



small, standing several mm. nearer the margin than the fourth. ^Ilindwing : 



median baud entering cell, its proximal margin crossing cell halfway between 

 \\? and M' ; blue spots small ; submarginal spots vestigial. 



Underside : apex of forewing and basal area of hindwing paler than in the 



previous forms. Forewing : submarginal spots SC — R- continuous, this narrow 



band followed from R- to SM^ by a much thinner line which begins at R- distally 



of the bands. Hindwing : projections of median band as short as in P. g. garamas, 



almost the same length at both sides of tiie veins ; four upper submarginal spots
