b. 1' iiliiiicolaiis mclitciius subsp. nov. (PI. IX. fig. 03). 

 Papilin spec. ?, Staudinger, E.riit. Taijf. i. p. 18 (1S84) (R. San Juan). 



S. Black bands of'tlie forewing on tbe whole broailev tlian in the jireceding ; 

 the submarginal transparent interspace narrower, being nsually onl}' a little broader 

 at SC^ than the black marginal band, or as broad as this band, specimens in 

 which the submargiiial interspace is nnusnally wide being recognizable as belonging 

 to P. glaiK'olaus melacnus by a corresponding reduction of the interspace between 

 bauds 5 and G. 



In this as well as the preceding form the black jjostdiscal band of the forewing 

 stands often distally of the point of bifurcation of the subcostals SC^ and SC°, which 

 is rarely the case in tbe following form. 



Length of forewing : 40 to 50 mm.

c. P. glaucolaus leucas subsp. nov. (PI. IX. fig. 65). 



(?. Wings not pervaded with green, except base, which is distinctly green np 

 to second band on forewing ; postdiscal band of forewing in the same position as in 

 P . p. protesilaus, being much nearer the lower angle of cell than in the preceding 

 forms of P. glaucolaus, and being, moreover, narrowed before R- in most specimens ; 

 transparent snbmarginal interspace wider than in P. gl. glaucolaus; white inter- 

 S])aces of cell covered with narrower scales, therefore appearing less densely scaled 

 than in the preceding forms. Subbasal band of underside of hindwing entering 

 basal cellule. 



Genitalia : Harpe shorter and more obtuse at apex than in P. gl. glaucolaus 

 and melaenuSi the tooth of the dorso-apical ridge narrower, and the central process 

 longer, pointed (Fig. 1, p. 708). 



Resembling in pattern more closely P. p. proh'silaus than the Colombian 

 forms of P. glaucolaus; ditfers from P. p. pi-otesilaus in the hindwing being morn 

 obtusely dentate, in the ad- and snbmarginal spots being ])ervaded with buff, which 

 colour becomes rather distinct if specimens of P. p. protesilaus and P. gl. leucai 

 are compared side by side; the second band of the forewing is on the npperside 

 nsually much narrower from the cell backwards than on the underside, this jiortion 

 of the band appearing on the npperside much blurred in consequence of the band of 

 the underside shining through, and being in some individuals very thin or even 

 absent ; the fourth cell-band is shorter on the whole than in Guiana specimens of 

 P. protesilaus. The frons has always clearly defined white lateral bands, never 

 being all fuscous as it is in many specimens of P. p. protesilaus. The scales of the 

 pale bine admarginal spots of the hindwing are dentate, while in P. p. protesilaus 

 they are mostly entire. 



Length of forewing : 41 to 48 mm.
