the baud of P. (/laitcolaus ; margiuul band aLso broad, the siibmargiual intersjiace 

 tlierefore narrower than in the other molops forms, being at R- about as wide as 



the marginal bands. Hindwing : red anal spot large, stopping halfway between 



Ml and IP, obliquely truncate, the black spot M' — M- in front of it large, trapezi- 

 form, somewhat ])rodnced basad at M', no black bar M- — SM- proximally of red 

 spot ; postdisco-margiual band broad, partition II- — R' wider in middle than the 

 white admarginal lanule R- — R^ ; partition R^ — M' also broad, its edges not 

 sharply defined, the white (slightly bnfifish) submarginal lunule which stands at its 

 distal side reduced, somewhat powdered with black, as is the white submarginal 

 spot M' — M- ; the postdiscal black bar bordering this latter spot proximally joining 

 the black anal sjiot ; white marginal ^pot before R- small, the one before tail 

 less extending distad than in the next form ; first admarginal Inunle vestigial, 

 submarginal lunule R^ — R^ also densely shaded with black. 



Underside : — fourth band of forewiug extending across cell or very nearly. 



iSnbbasal band of hindwing distally of basal cell, not entering it; red scaling of 

 median band extending along cross-veius, forming a more or less complete ring 

 in apex of cell ; red transverse bar W- — SM- heavy ; red bar M' — M^ Pj-shaped ; 

 black arrowhead-shaped patch on abdominal fold large, white lunules W — M- 

 small. 



Genitalia : Deflexed dorso-apical ridge of harpe more or less abru23tly dilated, 

 the lobe sinuate in one of our two Ecuadorian specimens, no teeth beyond the lobe ; 

 teeth on ventral edge of harpe irregularly placed and of different sizes ; central 

 process rather broadly spatulate, denticulate on dorsal side, the teeth somewhat 

 curved in the direction of the base of the process ; ventral process acute, non- 

 dentate, not quite reaching the ventral edge of the elasper, its ajjex somewhat 

 curving distad and away from the elasper.

(?. Very closely agreeing in pattern with F. protesHaus protesilaus ; the 

 Colombian specimens smaller than the Colombian P. p. archesilaus, the hindwing 

 less strongly dentate. Frons never entirely brown-black, as is so often the case 

 in Andesian specimens of P. p. jx-otesilaus. First band of forewing always 

 extending to hinder margin, second band very broad in cell, reaching to hinder 



margin in most specimens, or at least close to it. Hindwing with a white 



submarginal lunule R' — R-, which is thinner than the admarginal one, being 

 occasionally vestigial ; black admarginal spots R' — M^ rather larger than in 

 P. p. protesilaus, especially M^ — M-. 



Underside : intersjsace between subbasal and median bands of hindwing longer 

 than in protesilaus. 



Genitalia : Deflexed dorso-apical ridge of harpe (Fig. 2, p. 706) usually 

 dentate beyond the proximal dentate lobe ; ventral edge of harpe more densely 

 dentate than in P. m. molops, central process more slender and its teeth shorter, 

 ventral process longer, reaching edge of elasper, carved towards this edge, not 

 away from it, usually with some teeth on the distal side or at the apex.
