PAPILIO DARES. 34. 
P. Dares, Hewitson. Trans, Ent. Soc. Vol. V. Third Ser. p. 561, 1867. 
Urrersipr. Female, black ; the outer margin with white lunules. Anterior wing witha small 
white spot beyond the middle. Posterior wing dentated, the dentations long: crossed beyond 
the middle by two macular bands of crowded carmine spots: the first band of six oval spots, 
the first of which, near the costal margin is smaller, the last, at the anal angle, is larger 
than the rest: the second band of five spots, three of which, nearest the anal angle, are 
lunular. 
Unpersib# as above, except that the carmine spots of the first band of the posterior wing 
are smaller. 
Exp. 33% inch. Hab. Nicaragua.

Before I had received that sex, I believed this to be the female of P. Photinus of Doubleday ; I now see, 
however, that it is very different. The carmine spots of the first band cross the wing in a double curve, and those 
near the margin, instead of being triangularly lunate, are very slightly so. 
PAPILIO PHILETAS. 35, 36. 
P. Philetas, Hewitson. Trans. Ent. Soc. p. 31, 1869. 
Uprrrsipr. Male, dark green: the fringe with lunular white spots, broad and con- 
spicuous on the posterior wing. Anterior wing crossed beyond the middle by a furcate band of 
green-yellow spots, which commences in two places near the costal margin, and uniting at the 
second disco-cellular nervule, is continued in five hastate spots to the anal angle. Posterior 
wing with a submarginal band of pale green spots, the first of which at the costal margin is 
linear. 
Unpersipr. Anterior wing as above, except that there are two rays of green from the 
base, that the spots of the band are much larger, and that the whole of the wing from the band 
to the apex is irrorated with green. Posterior wing with the basal half thickly irrorated with 
green, the nervures through it black: the outer half of the wing dark green, first marked by pale 
green striae: crossed below these by a band of seven scarlet spots, with here and there between 
them irrorations of white; these spots are surrounded with purple, and followed by a second 
band of six yellow spots : the lunular spots on the margin broader than above. ‘The abdomen 
white. 
Female does not differ from the male, except in having the abdomen dark green. 
Exp. 45% ch. Hab. Ecuador.

It will be seen at once that this very beautiful species belongs to that section of Papilio which contains Belus 
and Crassus.
