19. Papilio bokhotei, sp. n. (Plate XIX.) 



Allied to Papilio andrcemon of Hiibner, but at ouce distinguished . 

 by the narrower and much paler yellow transverse band on the * 

 primaries, this band being decidedly more broken up towards the 

 apical area ; the hind-marginal border relieved by a row of sulphur- 

 yellow spots. Secondaries with the sulphur-yellow transverse 

 band narrower and paler than in the allied species ; the hind- 

 marginal spots pale yellow, but strongly indicated ; the post- 

 median row of blue spots somewhat more strongly pronounced 

 than in P. andrcemon. 



Underside. G-eneral colour of both wings sulphur- instead of 

 ochre-yellow, the spots and markings being similar to those of 

 P. andrcemon. 



Expanse 3*2 inches. (Nassau, 13th June, 1898.) 



Female. Larger, and having the hind-marginal borders and 

 basal area brown instead of blackish as in the male. Secondaries 

 with the marginal row of yellow spots suffused with rufous. 



Underside. Similar to that of the male, but the sub-marginal 

 markings on the secondaries more strongly tinted with rufous, 

 these markings being pale sulphur-yellow in the male ; the ocellus 

 on the anal angle much larger and more clearly defined than in 

 the male. 



Expanse 3*7 inches. (Nassau, 15th June, 1898.) 



In the British Museum are three examples of this species from 

 the Bahamas, presented by Mr. Neville Chamberlain, who obtained 

 them on Andros Island. He also bred several from larvae on 

 orange-trees, and noticed that when touched the larvae protruded 

 two white horns from behind the head. Three other specimens, 

 said to be from Honduras, purchased from Mr. Midler, are 

 identical, or at least are very nearly allied. 



["A common species, having a succession of broods throughout 

 the summer. The larva is dark brown mottled with greyish, 

 having two large white bands, one towards the head and the other 

 on the hinder part of the body. It feeds on the orange, preferring
