Additions: PAPILIONIDAE. By Dr. A. Keitz. 1()I3 



P. lycidas. Specimens from Ecuador, in which the bone-colonred subcostal spot of the hindwing 

 is joined by a series of some more minute internerval spots, were named adiatus Niep. — A corresponding form aill<iliin. 

 of beliis, exhibiting such small internerval spots of an orange colour, the occurrence of whitii is mentimied akeady 

 by Jordan on p. 21, is named chrysomaculatus Niep. Ecuador. — Another belus-iorm is: ingenuus Di/ar from chri/sonui- 

 Mexico. ' . ^ '■"'"';"••• 



P. zelicaon (p. 24). The larva may look almost exactly like that of machaon; but the black colour 

 of the bands may also flow together in such a way that the green disappears almost entirely and that the larva 

 then shows the thick red dots on an entirely black ground, like in Parnass. apoUo. 



P. lycophron v. delunensis is a form denominated by Niepelt, in whicli tlie su])marginal iunac of tlie dclidini.-is. 

 hindwings are still more leduced than in hippomedon Fldr. Brazil. 



P. androgens (p. 26). Fassl bred on the Rio Xingu from larvae having been taken do«n from f)range- 

 trees, after a 100 days' pupal stage an.drogeus-'^'^, similar to those of epiddurxfi G. <£• A'., wliich, however, did 

 not show any tiace of the yellow spot in the forewing; he denominated them mira Fassl. tn'ira. 



P. anchisiades (p. 28). The larva in its juvenile stage lives gregariously and only later on forms the 

 well-known ,, mirrors" of numerous larvae being crowded together on the tnmks of orange-trees. In their adult 

 stage they are greenish-brown with numerous chased-like, intertwined markings on the dorsum. Pupae brown, 

 in front and behind often tinted greenish. According to Feereira d'Almeida, the pupa in Southern Brazil 

 often rests for 4 months, d.uiing tlie whole winter. — According to Fruhstorfer (Entomol. Riuidschau, 1915, 

 p. 70), specimens from Trinidad (the i.sland) exhibit enlarged white spots on the forewings, as large as in chian- 

 siades (10 d), though removed more proximally. Fruhstorfer introduces for it the name philastrius. iihil(i.-:irhit. 



P. heciorides (p. 29). Larva in its adult stage brownish with yellowish-brown and bJackisli markings 

 and whitish, irregular lines and strokes; on the sides of the thoracal ring a light lateral band tinted yellowish 

 or pink ; in the shape similar to the larva of tlioas (Ferreira d'Almeida). The imagines are particularly common 

 near Rio in April and May and in Augu.st and September. Specimens from Paraguay (= agordiis Fi nhst.) show iKjimhc^. 

 in the q larger yellow crescents on the hindwing. whilst the $ has narrowed red crescents on the hiiuhsing and 

 a coherent white band on the forewing. — lysirte Fruhst. are specimens from Rio Grande do Sul and Sa. Ca- h/.^ih-tr. 

 tharina with a broader, mostly hued j-ellowish band on the $ forewing; in the hindwing also the white .spots 

 are larger. 



P. zngreus (p. 31). Siiecimens from Pozzuzo in Peru, according to Fruhstorfer, differ from typical 

 specimens from Colombia and Venezuela by the median spots being also in the costal part of the wing orange, 

 not light yellow; the antemarginal spots are larger and lighter yellow (= chrysoxaiithus Fruhst.). chri/so.fnii- 



P. bdcJius behazar Niep. 1 (^ from Cuscari in Ecuador. From backus typicus chiefly different by the yellow , , , , "'"'" 

 spots filling up the radial spaces on the forewing being parted by dark embedments, and by the hindwing 

 showing an orange band in front of the black marginal band. 



P. neyi Niep. resembles zngreus (11 c), but it has rounder forewings, in the apical half of which the ncn'i. 

 bone-coloured spots are mucli larger than in zagreus; in the hindwing the dark spots being situate around the 

 lower cell-wall are combined to a black cloud. Ecuador. 



As the $ of P. frapezit R. d- J. Niepelt describes a specimen of this species fiom Ecuador, which, 

 liowever, shows entirely male w ing-contoxa-s (on tlie figure in ,,Lepidoptera Niepeltiana" tab. XII) and accor- 

 ding to JoiCEY and Talbot is also in fact a (J in which the light forewing and the red spot of the hinilwing 

 arc somewhat reduced. The '+' of ^ra^jeza being unknown to me is presumably on the contrary more variegated 

 than the J. — concoloratus •/. <£• T. are specimens from Balzapamba in Ecuador, in \^hich both sexes are without n,uroU,ra- 

 the spot of the forewing. "''" 



P. bitias. As v. marcus Niep. a form is described with a more deeply dentate margin and a broader marcus. 

 band of the hindwing beneath; from Pozuzo (Peru). 



P. cacicus peruviana J. d- T. approximates the form inca R. d; J., but the reddish (in the nominal pcniu'miut. 

 form bone-colourt^l) discal band shows the spots in the cell 2 and 3 prolonged as far as the cell. Of the post- 

 discal spots only the lo\\er ones form 5 small crescents, whilst the upper ones are only oblong, not sharply defined. 

 It replaces the form zaddachi in Peru. Described according to 1 $ from La Merced. 



P. .vijnias xisuthrus Niep. The cJ shows the red spot of the hindwing proximally prolonged; from .ri.-<i(/hri(.s. 

 Ecuador. Niepelt figures as the $ of this form quite a similar lejndopteron w ith decidedly male wing-contours, 

 in whicli the red spot of the hindwing is reduced to a faint trace at the proximal margin above the anal angle; 

 this is presumably likewise a q. 



P. euryleon. A ^ from Ecuador is described flying together with the form anatinus R. d- J., \\hich 

 scarcely differs from it; the margin of the hindwing is strongly dentate, behind the cell 3 red spots, before the 

 margin a row of narrow white spots. The greyish-green colour of the forewing is extensive. Niepelt deno- 

 minates this form punctata. imnriata. 



Niepelt figures the ? of hannodius xeniades Hew. A\ith longer red spots of the hindwings, being other- 

 wise similar to the $ of androna (13 d). — As jarbas Niep. a V i« described with a large postmedian white dis- jarba.'s. 

 coidal spot of the forewing; from Ecuador.
