XXV. Descriptions of some New Species of Diurnal 
Lepidoptera. By W. C. Hewrrson, F.L.S. 
[Read 4th November, 1867.] 
1. Papilio Xeniades. 
Male.—Upperside black. Anterior wing with a white 
bipartite spot near the middle of the inner margin. Pos- 
terior wing rounded at the outer margin, dentate, crossed 
beyond the middle by a band of five detached carmine 
spots, the three nearest the inner margin larger than 
the other two, which are minute; lunules on the fringe, 
and three or four minute spots near the margin, white. 
Underside brown, with the nervures black; the base 
of the anterior wing and three spots at the base of the 
posterior wing carmine, the spots of the transverse band 
white. 
Female.—Like the male, except that the white spot on 
the anterior wing is larger and tripartite, with (outside 
of it) some irrorations of white; that the outer margin is 
nearly straight ; and that the white spots near the outer 
margin of the posterior wing are much larger. 
Exp. 3-7/10 inches. 
Hab. Heuador. 
In the collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
A beautiful species, nearly related to P. Huryleon of 
Hewitson, from which it differs chiefly in having the 
carmine spots of the posterior wing jower down and 
forming a macular band instead of a palmate spot, and 
in wanting the two white apical spots. 
2. Papilio Dares. 
Female-—Upperside black, the outer margin with 
white lunules. Anterior wing with a small white spot 
beyond the middle. Posterior wing dentated, the den- 
tations long ; crossed beyond the middle by two macular 
bands of crowded carmine spots; tlhe first band of six 
oval spots, the first of which, near the costal margin, is 
smaller than the rest, and the last, at the anal angle, is 
larger ; the second band of five spots, three of which, 
nearest the anal angle, are lunular. 
Underside as above, except that the carmine spots of 
the first band of the posterior wing are smaller. 
Exp. 3-7/10 inches.
