Papilio cochabamba A. G. Weeks, Jr. 

 (Plate VII.} 



Habitat : Bolivia. Expanse, 4.00 inches. 



Front of head dark greenish black. Between the eyes are two dots of 

 greenish white, and another dot at the collar, followed by two more similar 

 dots on front of thorax. Antennae greenish black, extreme point slightly 

 brownish. Thorax above, dark greenish black ; beneath, black with a large 

 yellowish spot at base of costal nervule and another at base of costal nervule 

 of hind wing, both with a small white dot above them. Legs black above; 

 beneath whitish, the white extending on to thorax as a dash. 



Abdomen above, greenish cream color with black tip ; below, black with 

 a white spot at base of each segment on both sides. Between these spots 

 and the cream color of upper part are a series of yellowish dashes. 



Fore wing above, greenish black, but with a decided greenish lustre cov- 

 ering outer half. The interspaces at hind margin edged with white. 



Hind wing of same ground color, the greenish lustre being somewhat 

 brighter and more prominent. Covering nearly the whole of the subcostal 

 space is a large dash of greenish white followed by a row of similar, although 

 smaller, spots or dashes extending in a straight line from apex to anal angle, 

 each about one-eighth inch wide and one-eighth inch long, diminishing in size 

 towards anal angle. These are about one-third inch from hind margin, not 

 touching, however, the discoidal space, and form the only prominent mark- 

 ing of the insect. The hind margin is strongly dentated with interspaces 

 bordered by a white line. 



Under side of fore wing black, shading into grey black at a line drawn 

 from inner angle across the wing towards outer part of discoidal space. In the 

 three lower interspaces, one-fourth inch from hind margin, is a patch of 

 whitish scales, suggestive of spots. 



Under side of hind wing is entirely of bronze color, somewhat lustrous, 

 excepting at the top portion of each interspace, where there is a whitish spot, 

 and inside of that, one-sixteenth inch from margin, a semicircle of brick 

 color, very prominent. The dentations of the wing bear the white linear 

 border appearing on upper side. 



The specimens in my possession were taken some two hun- 

 dred miles north from Cochabamba. In general appearance, 

 it resembles closely Papilio numitor Cram., and that group, 

 and may be a climatic variation of it, but in numitor the
