CoutAs ERATE ?. 
? Papilio erate, Esper, Ausl. Schmett. i. 2. pl. 119. f. 3. 
Male. Clear yellow: fore wing with the marginal band of a similar 
form to that in CO. edusa and C. fieldi, unspotted, of a cuprescent- 
brown colour, and of the same width except at the apex, where it is 
broader owing to the more pointed form of wing ; the band also has 
the curvature of its inner border as in those species, and its upper 
end with distinct streaks extending for a short distance along the 
anterior veins: hind wing with the band and discal spots similar to 
those in European C. erate. Underside paler than in C. erate ; 
discal spots less distinct, the discoidal spot on fore wing entirely 
black, that on hind wing large with whitish centre and lobate red 
border. 
Expanse 2 inches. 
This has the apex of the fore wing more prolonged than in Euro- 
pean C. erate, the angle more acute, and the exterior margin more 
oblique. 
Co.tAs LATIVITTA, 0. sp. 
Male. Yellow: fore wing with a broad unspotted blackish band, 
the inner border of which is angulated inward at the upper median 
vein ; the band very sparsely yellow-speckled on the anterior veins ; 
discocellular spot large, black: hind wing with a broad blackish 
crenulated band and a large orange-yellow discocellular spot. 
Underside olivaceous yellow: fore wing with a black discocellular 
spot and a distinct discal row of spots: hind wing with a moderate- 
sized dull pearly-white red-bordered discocellular spot. 
Female. Yellow, or white ; the band on fore wing broader than in 
male, and with not very prominent upper and lower yellow spots; 
the discocellular spot distinct: hind wing darker, with broad mar- 
ginal band traversed inwardly by large ill-detined yellow spots; 
discocellular spot brighter red. 
Expanse 13 to 22 inches. 
Hab. Nepal (type); Kunawar ; Kangra (Hocking). Cashmere 
(Hellard). In coll. F. Moore and British Museum. 
The colour in this species is of a deeper yellow, and the bands on 
both wings are conspicuously broader than in the preceding (C. 
pallida) or S.-Russian specimens of C. erate.
