NEW SPECIES OF EXOTIC LEPIDOPTERA. 



BY GEORGE A. EHRMANN, PITTSBURG, PA. 



Papilio echo, n. sp.— Male. Closely allied to P. bootes, Westw. The 

 outlines of all the wings are the same as in P. bootes, but the whitish- 

 crimson spots in the tails are absent ; the crimson lunated spots on the 

 upper side of the hind wings that are so prominent in the latter are very 

 small, almost wanting. On the under side of the secondaries the lunated 

 spots at the anal angle are smaller and more separated than in P. bootes; 

 in the upper median cell there is a faint reddish streak, whilst in P. bootes 

 there is a large, well-developed semi-lunated white spot ; the two white 

 discal spots on the secondaries are smaller ; the red or crimson area at the 

 base -of both pairs of wings on the under side is also smaller ; the tails are 

 a little longer, but not as long as they are in P. lama, Oberth, or P. 

 janaka, Moore. 



Exp. 5 inch. Hab.: Khasia Hills, British Burmah. 

 Type in my collection. 



This species is very interesting, as belonging to the bootes group. It 

 lacks that important character of having the spots in the tails. The type 

 of this species came into my possession through the late Bernhard 

 Gerhard. 



Papilio ikusa, n. sp. — Male allied to P. mencius, Feld., but not so 

 large ; the scaling is less dense on all the wings, which gives it a semi- 

 transparent appearance ; the red collar at the back of the head is wanting; 

 the red between the eyes is replaced by black ; the dentations of the hind 

 wings are more sharply defined ; the tails are not so long and less 

 spatulated, and on the upper side of the hind wings, in the upper, median 

 and lower cells, there is an ill-defined orange spot on each near the outer 

 margin. 



The ground colour on the under side is much lighter than above, and 

 the crimson lunated spots that are so prominent in P. mencius are here 

 replaced on the submarginal space by seven round orange-coloured spots 

 anal valves are also orange. . 

 Type in my collection. 

 Exp. 3 in. Hab.: Simoda, Japan. 



I received this species from the Rev. Mr. Loomis, of Yokohama, 

 Japan, with the above locality attached to it. In studying this singular 

 form, the only conclusion that I can arrive at is that we have another race
