than in P. telesilaus ; medium band of underside a little curved, crossing cell 

 closer to apex than in P. protesilaus and P. telesilaus. 



Nenration and scent-organ as in P. prutesilaiis. 



Genitalia : S . Tenth tergite narrow, trilobate at apex, a little longer than in 

 P. pi-otesilaus ; apical lobe of harpe broad, obtuse or pointed, about two and a half 

 or three times as long as broad in middle, finely denticulate at convex apical edge 

 and in middle of ventral margin, deflexed dorso-apical edge not dilated ; ventral 

 process reactiing ventral margin of clasper, central process pointed in dorsal view, 

 the tip being carved proximad. — — ? not dissected. 



Early stages not known. 



Ilab. Paraguay ; Brazil. 



A combiuation of black antenna, white (or greyish) sides of the frons, broad 

 interspace between the first and second black bands of the forewing, and a strongly 

 dentate hindwing is not met with in the allied species. The frons of the Brazilian 

 P. protesilaus, which has black antennae, is nearly as black at the sides as in the 

 centre ; and P. telesilaus, small specimens of which resemble P. stenodesmus, has 

 always tawny antennae. 



We have seen specimens said to be from outside the range as given above. 

 But as they were obtained from a Continental dealer, we do not believe that the 

 localities are authentic, and therefore abstain from publishing them.

155. Papilio earis spec. nov. (PI. VI. fig. 32). 



c?. Frons huffish white at sides. Antenna dark tawny. Abdomen beneatl' 

 more or less ochraceous. Wings pervaded with buff, especially on the underside, 

 which is mostly washed with pink. 



Forewing : first band stopping at SM", second prolonged a little beyond that 

 vein or also stopping short at it ; interspace between these bands a little narrower 

 than the interspace between second and third bands ; fourth band reduced to a 

 costal dot ; sixth close to lower angle of cell, narrower from R- forwards than 



backwards. Hindwing : red anal spot elongate, extending to near M' proximally, 



black bar in front of it restricted to cellule M'— M"; black postdiscal spots R- — R'^ 

 luniform, narrow, more or less distinctly separate from spot 11^ — M* ; ad- and 

 submarginal interstitial spots huffish, narrow ; dentition of wing rather more sharp 

 than in P, prot. protesilaus. 



Underside : ad- and submarginal huffish spots of hindwing smaller than in 

 P. p. protesilaus, upper two more or less washed with brown, submarginal huffish 

 bar 11' — R- very thin ; white distal border of red anal bar wider than in the form 

 just mentioned, the black arrowhead spot on abdominal fold not reduced as in 

 that form. 



Scent-organ as in P. protesilaus. 



Genitalia: Deflexed dorso-apical ridge of harpe .^lightly widened, with some 

 teeth ; ventral process simple, not leaching ventral edge of clasper, somewhat
