 wing ])artly pale yellow; the basal area of the hindwing beneath pale, often partly yellowish, the red discai 

 scamander. spots small or absent. Santa Catarina and the adjoining districts of Rio Grande do Sul. ^ scamander 

 Boisd. (ild). Discai band of the upper surface more yellow; under surface of the hindwing pale yellow, 

 with black veins and without red discai spots. Abdomen laterally pale yellow. Rio Grande do Sul. 



P. birchalli. cf : body black, claspers usually with pale yellow spot. Forewing above with 2 rows 

 of s])ots before the margin; the anterior spots of the proximal row more or less indistinct; hindwing with 

 broad discai band and a row of submarginal spots; the markings for the most ])art greenish; tooth of the 

 3. radial only a little more projecting than the other marginal teeth. Beneath the forewing has a cell-spot, 

 an oblique row of discai spots and a row of submarginal spots abbreviated anteriorly; on the hindwing is 

 a discai and a submarginal row of red spots, the middle discai spots small, the last one large and yellowish 

 white. In the ? the markings of the upperside are more bluish and the discai band of the hindwing is 

 ver\' broad. Panama and Colombia; according to Deuce it occurs also in North Argentina, which appears to 

 godmani. us doubtful. — godmani R. ((■ J. The last spofs of the discai band of the hindwing above indistiiud and 

 birdiallL the band broader in the middle than the black marginal area. Panama : Ghiricjui and Bugaba. — birchalli 

 Hew. (Ild). The discai band of the hindwing above narrower than in gtxlmaiii and its two last spots 

 distinct. Colombia: Magdalena and Cauca Valleys. 



xantho- P. xanthopleura Gmlm. & Sale. (l'2c). Sides of the abdomen yellow; under surface of the hindwing 



pleura, without discai band, the red submarginal spots large. The ? in two forms: ?-f. xanthopleura is similar to 

 diaphora. the (f , whilst ?-f diaphora N'r/r. has a large pale yellow area on the uiiperside of the forewing. —

All the following Fluted-Papilios are distinguished by a strongly dentate costal mai'gin of the forewing in 

 the cf, which is weaker in the $. The black abdomen is never spotted, but the underside of it in some forms is 

 yellowish olive-brown. The antennae are short and the frons is broad. Like the preceding species they are forest 

 insects, which occur in the mountains, especially at medium heights. 



P. victorious. A Central American species, occurring from ^Mexico to Costa Rica, c/ : two rows 



of pale yellow spots on the upper surface between two rows of iduish grey si)ots, which are distinct 



especially on the hindwing. Hindwing beneath with a row of red. black-edged discai spots and a i-ow of 



crescent-shaped submarginal spots: tooth of the 3. radial only very little prolonged. Larva green above, 



grey beneath, anteriorly with two transverse grey, spotted, dorsal bands; abdomen laterally grey, dorsally 



moreliiis. with two angle-sha])ed spots. Two broods. — morelius //. rf' •/. Discai spots of the forewing small or 



victoriiuis. absent, no cell-spot on the underside. West Jlexico. — victorinus DoubJ. (lid), cf : discai row of the 



forewing consisting of at least 3 spots; usually a row of bluish grey postdiscal spots present: discai spots 



of the under surface of the hindwing larger than the submarginal spots. The ? in two forms : ?-f. victorinus 



Douhl. (-— helleri Fldv.) is similar to the c/, but the spots of the ujiper surface, especially of the hiiulwiug, 



amphisstis. are mostly larger: in 2-f. amphissus Hopff'. the hindwing has a bluish or greenish discai liand, much 



vulnerntus. broadened ])osteriorly. East Mexico to Nicaragua. — vulneratus Btlr. The discai spots of the upper 



surface of both wings larger than in the two preceding sulispecies; hindwing without bluish spots distally 



to the discai row. Costa Rica, only one cf known (in coll. V. Ducvkk Gojimax). 



cepliti/iis. P. cephalus (iadui. d- Scdr. o" : tailed, two rows of sjjots on the upperside of the forewing, the 



submarginal row uniformly curved. Underside of the hindwing with bluish crescents distally to the discai 

 spots. — Chiri(jui, oue cT in coll. Staudixop:!; ; perhaps only a tailed specimen of P. eleotax iirelii/fi/~: (the 

 genitalia should be compared!). 



P. cleotas. Forewing above with a submarginal row of spots, cur\ing in front towards the costa, and 

 an oblique iliscal row of larger patches posterior to the lower angle of the cell ; hindwing with discai band 

 and submarginal s])ots. Under surface of the hindwing with a row of red discai spots, which are ]n'oxinudly 

 more or less yellow, the last s])ot always pale yellow. The ? in two forms, one similar to the ^y", the other 

 with broad bluish or greenish baiul, diffuse proximally. Distributed from Costa Rica to South Brazil, but 

 not known from Bolivia to Ecuador, nor from the Guianas, the Orinoco or the Amazon, being replaced in 

 these districts b\- P. m-idnts. — archytas Hopff. (cf = laetitia Bfh:). o^: the cell-spot and the middle

phaeton. Costa Rica: Panama: Brava Island on Ihe west coast of Panama. — phaeton Lucent (= phaeton 

 iJoubl.) (13 a) inhabits Coloudiia. cf : the markings on the upper surface very variable. The cell- 



eleardms. spot of the forewing usually more oblique than in airhi/fas, sometimes absent (ab. clearchus Fldr.), 

 and the anterior subuuirginal spots larger than the jjosterior ones; tail distinct; harpe dentate at 

 dorsal nuu'gin , with a strong apical hook curved inwards, the dorsal prong of the fork short.
