264 THE entomologist's kecokd. 



same name of coltimbiis to another Popilio of a quite different group 

 and which is still in use. 



P. t<eso}>tns var. zestos, Gray. This is a fairly common species in the 

 northern half of Central America and may be distinguished from 

 more southern sub-species by the red patch on the inner margin of 

 the hindwing. 



P. lycinienes, two of which I show (J and $ ), is another Papilio 

 which comes in numbers from Guatemala and other Central American 

 countries. 



P. tortjitatiis, Cr., is a Brazilian insect. 



P. lio)iievi(i<, F. This fine species is, I believe, found only in 

 Jamaica and Santo Domingo and is probably the largest of the new 

 world species. It was formerly regarded as a great rarity but is now 

 to be found in most collections as its habits are better known and 

 collectors have learned how to take it. It is a forest insect and a very 

 high flyer, its headquaters being the Blue Mountains in Jamaica. 



P. ulaiirits, L., IS an interesting insect being dichromatic in the ? 

 in the Southern part of its range, where it is double-brooded. I believe 

 American collectors generally apply the name of tuntus to the yellow 

 form and (ilaucim to the blackish-brown ? form. The large " titmus" 

 specimen is of the Southern summer form from Alabama and so is the 

 " (/laiiciis " 2 • The spring form is, I believe, smaller and more like 

 the northern form which I show under the subspecific name of 

 canadensis, R. and J., and which is found in British North America. 



P. warcJiandi, Bdv. This rather uncommon species I have received 

 both from British Honduras and Guatemala. 



P. salvhii, Bates. I was glad to receive this rare species from 

 Punta-Gorda in British Honduras in March last. 



P. caclciis var. inca, R. and J. This also is a rarity and comes 

 from Peru, 



P. zar/reits, F. bathiis var. chrysomelas, and P. ascolius, belong to a 

 most interesting mimetic group of Papilios which resemble certain 

 Danaines of the genus Tithorea and also have a certain mimetic 

 resemblance to some Heliconine species. 



The Rev. A. T. Stiff, M.A., exhibited:— 



(1) A series of Einnephele tithonus from Tavistock, showing a 

 considerable range of colour variation, and including one male with 

 cream ground-colour, two females with golden-yellow ground-colour, 

 two very dark males, one male Avith the us lally fuscous border of a 

 pale mouse-grey, and many showing extra spots. 



(2) A series of Kmaturaa atniiiaria from the Isle of Man, the New 

 Forest, Tavistock, Wye and Folkestone, and including fine yellow 

 forms of the male, several yellowish females, two heavily bordered 

 males, two heavily barred females, and one female with male colouration 

 and marking. 



Mr. W. J. Ashdown exhibited British and Swiss Aphantopns 

 Jii/perantiis including ab. arete and ab. caeca and several specimens with 

 asymmetrical spotting on the undersides of the hindwings. 



Mr. Hy. J. Turner exhibited a striking and almost perfect aberra- 

 tion of Argynnis niobe, captured on August 2nd of this year, at St. 

 Moriliz, Engadine. On the upper side the usual black markings are 

 symmetrically run together and extended in area to form an irregular 

 transverse black banding across all four wings, the submarginal orange
