150 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



slightly sinuated. Fore wings dark brown, with the principal nervurcs 

 orange towards the base, and in the yellow portions of the wing ; from the base 

 run two yellow stripes, the first curves through the cell, till it descends on 

 the median nervure, after which it is slightly interrupted before meeting a 

 large yellow band divided by the nervures, which crosses the end. of the 

 cell towards the hind margin. Just beyond the cell is a large oblong black 

 spot, and there is a smaller one between the 2nd and 3rd branches of the 

 median nervure, which are generally surrounded with yellow. Below this 

 point are two submarginal yellow spots, the upper one irregular, and the 

 second round, above the hinder angle of the wing. The lower basal streak 

 is divided by the submedian and first branch of the median nervure, and 

 extends to about four-fifths of the length of the wing. Towards the tip is 

 an oblique row of four yellow spots ; the uppermost, above the submedian 

 nervure (which is here black), is a mere streak. 



Hind wings yellow, with all the borders brown, and a brown band den- 

 tated beneath towards the extremity, runs from the middle of the inner 

 margin, nearly across the wing, but ceases before reaching the border. 

 Under surface similar, but the yellow markings are paler, and rather more 

 extended, most of those on the fore wings being confluent ; hind margins 

 with a row of submarginal white spots between the nervures, mostly 

 arranged in pairs ; hind wings with a curved subcostal basal stripe. Head 

 spotted with white, orbits white ; antennae fulvous, black towards the base. 

 Thorax with fulvous hairs above ; the sides spotted with yellow ; legs 

 black, femora streaked with white, abdomen black above and yellow beneath. 



This species belongs to the group of T, liarmonia, Cram., but 

 is of a much paler colour than any of its allies. It is abundant 

 in Trinidad, and is extremely constant in its markings. I have 

 never seen it from any other locality ; and like Papilio cymochles. 

 Gray, and one or two other species, it appears to be peculiar to 

 that island, which, however, is so close to the neighbouring coast 

 of South America, that its insects properly belong to the fauna 

 of that continent, and not to the West-Indian fauna.
