Papilio Cochabamba, sp. nov. 



Habitat : Bolivia. Expanse, 4.00 inches. 



Front of head dark, greenish black. Between the eyes, two dots 

 of greenish white, and another dot at "collar," followed by two more 

 similar dots on front of thorax. Antennae, greenish black, extreme 

 point slightly brownish. Thorax, above, dark greenish black ; beneath, 

 black with a large yellowish spot at base of costal nervule, another 

 also at base of costal nervule of hind wing, both with a small white dot 

 above them. Legs, black above ; beneath, whitish, the white extending 

 on to thorax as a dash. 



Abdomen above, greenish cream colour (very prominent), black tip. 

 Below, black with a white spot at base of each segment on both sides. 

 Between these spots and the cream colour of upper part, are a series of 

 yellowish dashes. 



Fore wings above, greenish black, but with a decided greenish lustre 

 covering outer half. The interspaces at hind margin edged with white. 



Hind wings of same ground colour, the greenish lustre being 

 somewhat brighter and more prominent. Covering nearly the whole of 

 the subcostal space is a large dash of greenish white, followed by a row 

 of similar, although smaller, spots or dashes extending in a straight line, 

 from apex to anal angle, each about one eighth inch wide and one-eighth 

 inch long, diminishing in size towards anal angle. These are about 

 one-third inch from hind margin, not touching, however, the discoidal 

 space, and form the only prominent marking of the insect. The hind 

 margin is strongly dentated with interspaces bordered by a white line. 



Under side of fore wings : black, shading into gray black at a line 

 drawn from inner angle across the wing towards outer part of discoidal 

 cell. In die three lower interspaces, one-fourth inch from hind margin is 

 a patch of whitish scales, suggestive of spots.
