P. garleppi. o' simihir to f<tr(/ii(iliis, hut tlie yellow band broader and the marginal tooth of the 

 1. median of the hindwiny; loni^-er: '2 or 3 small spots composed of yellowish and bluish scales placed before 

 the red anal spot of the hindwing: on the underside the posterior discal spot placed at the 2. median is 

 very small and bluish. The anal tergite is long and slender; harpe produced into a long jioint and 

 furnished with a long pointed process at the ventral margin. The ? is not known. East Bolivia, East 

 garleppi. Peru and the Upper Amazon are the home of the insect. Two .subspecies. — garleppi Sfr/r. Band of 

 interniptiis. the forewing not interrujited. Bolivia. - interruptus ^^/z'. Band of the forewing interru])ted. Upper 

 Amazon and East Peru. 



torqaatus. P. torquatus. (f : the band of the forewing is interrupted between the 2. and 3. radial, rarely 



there is a yellow spot almost tilling up the gap; on the under surface of the hindwing a row of red discal 



spots, of which the last is placed proximally to the last submarginal spot. The ? very ditferent from the cf , 



resembling certain Aristolochia-Papilios which occur together with it; wings brown-black, with or without 



white patches on the forewing; hindwing above with two rows of red spots, the proximal row incomplete, 



some of the spots merged together in pairs into 2 or 3 large patches. The anal tergite of the cT spatulate ; 



the har])e broad, denticulate. Larva shiny, as if polished (which is also the case in all the allied species), 



mottled with light colour, with irregular pale patch before the middle; the colour of bird-droppings. The 



butterfly is found in forests and in their neighbourhood; the ? is a true woodland species, like the 



Aristolochia-Pajjilios whose dress it wears, whilst the cfcf disport themselves more in open, sunny localities. 



tolus. Mexico to Brazil, not known from the temperate part of South America (South Brazil, Argentina). — tolus 



Godin. d- Sah. cf : band of the forewing narrow, the anterior spot long, the 2. short. ?: forewing without 



white discal spots ; hindwing with 2 separated rows of red spots. Tail in both sexes long and spatulate. 



tolmides. Mexico, apparently rare. — tolmides (hxhti. <f- Salr. cf : band firoader than in /o//^s, tail narrower, no spots, 



or only very small ones, before the upper angle of the cell of the forewing. ? not known. Ghiriqui and 



orchamus. Sevilla Island; likewise rare in collections. — orchamus Boisd. cf : the spots before the upper angle of 



the cell of the forewing small, the first long spot (jf the yellow band as long as the 2., or somewhat longer, 



the submarginal s]iots of the hindwing usually very distinct. ? with a white spot placed across the cell of 



the forewing and another spot before the 1. median, as well as usually also a spot before the 3. radial and 



an indistinct spot behind the 1. median; 4 — 6 large red spots on the hindwing, cell Avith spot, tail short, 



leptalca. non-spatulate. Colombia; North Venezuela. — leptalea U. & J. cf : v'ellow Imnd of the forewing narrower 



than the black marginal area, narrower than in all the other forms of this species; the spots before the 



apex of the cell small: the submarginal spots of the hindwing distinct, the apex of the cell on the under 



surface black as far as the base of the 1. median: tail spatulate. ? similar to that of orchaimis, the white 



torquatus. spot between the 2. and 3. spot of the forewing and the cell-spot smaller. West Ecuador. — torquatus CV. 



(= pelaus F.) (lib), (f : the spots before the apex of the cell of the forewing mostly larger than in the 



other forms, the two subapical spots of the band broad, the 1. shorter than the 2., the band at least half 



as broad again as the black submarginal area; the submarginal s])ots of the hindwing usually strongl}' 



darkened by black scaling. The ? very variable; the tail always slender, commonly short; o principal 



theras. forms: ?-f. theras B. <{• ./., forewing with cell-spot, which however does not extend across the cell, and one 



caudius. or more spots on the disc: ?-f. caudius Hhn. has no cell-spot, but several discal spots, of which the one 



;)(;//-os. placed between the 1. and 2. median is the largest; ?-f. patros ''''w/ (lib) has no white spots on the 



flavida. forewing, the patches on the hindwing are red; ?-f. flavida Olmili. (= flava Haa.'<c) resembles patros, but 



cleolas. the patches on the hindwing are yellow- white; ?-f, cleolas Ji. & J. has no spots on the forewing, but on 



its undei- surface a yellowish white submarginal band. These different forms of the ? occur only partly 



together, the first 4 are known from the Upper Amazon, but the 5, form, which we have from Bolivia, 



may also be found there. East and South Venezuela, the Guianas, the Amazons and the eastern slopes of 



polybius. the Andes of Ecuador, Peru ami Bolivia, — polybius Swuhia. (? = tros Hbn., trqjanus Boise/.) (11 li) inhabits 



Brazil, Matto Grosso and Paraguay. In the o"" the spots before the apex of the cell of the forewing are 



small and the submarginal spots on the underside rather large: on the hindwing beneath the cell is entirely 



or almost entirely yellow; the tail broad. The ? occurs only in one form: forewing with spot in the cell 



ioid a large patch between the 1. and 2, median: tail spatulate, with rounded tip, 



tasso. P. tasso Sfi/r. (I I a), o^ : band of the forewing abbreviated, the subapical ])art wanting. ? with 



broad white band, which begins on the forewing at the 3. radial and extends to the hindnuirgin of the 

 hindwing; the cell of the forewing beneath with a few yellow streaks; the tail non-spatulate. -- Only a 

 few old sjjecimens kiH)wn, which probably came from Brazil. 



peleides. P, peleides Fsp. Perhaps an artefact: only known from J.uu.oxskt's figure; is it perhaps a West 



Indian representative of tm-qtuit/ts not rediscovered ? o'': forewing with a yellow macular band of almost 

 uniionu breadth, curved forward to the costa; hindwing with yellow submarginal spots. Ihe last of Ihe row 

 red, as well as one placed i)roximally to it at the hindmargin; tail spatulate.
