LEPIDOPTERA, FAM. PAPILIONIDAE. 197 



of which four are well visible. The colour is of a fine, 

 very dark, violet-brown, only variegated by the white of 

 the narrow lines near the bases of the wings and by the 

 red-brown colour of the tail. Moreover the white colour 

 of the margin of the posterior-wing is pure and not greenish 

 or yellowish. 



I hope, Mr. Jacobson may have the good fortune to 

 capture also a male specimen of this fine variety, which 

 will give me the opportunity to examine the male copulatory- 

 apparatus. It is a pity that our collection is so poor in 

 female-specimens, so I could not cut off the three or four 

 apical abdominal segments for systematic researches. 



Finally I give here a list of the species and varieties 

 of the genus Leptocircus with their geographical distri- 

 bution.
