THREE NEW SOUTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



By J. J. JOICEY and G. TALBOT. 

 PAPILIONIDAE. 

 Papilio aglaope Gray ecaudatus subsp. nov. 



This form is especially noticeable by the absence of a marginal 

 prominence at vein 4 of the hind wing, a character found in all the 

 allied forms. 



$ . Upperside : Fore wing band placed a little farther from the 

 cell, below vein 3 less broad than in the typical form ; two small white 

 spots below vein 2 and within the edge of the green patch. Hind 

 wing with a small red spot in 6, dusted with black ; proximal edges 

 of discal spots not dusted with black. 



Underside as in typical form. Fore wing with band of four small 

 white spots. Hind wing with five red discal spots and a small anal spot. 



$ . Very different to the typical form. Fore wing band of three 

 spots occupying the same position as the white spots in the $ , larger 

 than in the $ , their outer edges nearly straight ; an indistinct fifth 

 spot in cellule 4. Hind wing with the band placed as in the $ , paler 

 apical spot larger and rounded, also two anal spots. 



Underside as above, spots of hind wing paler. 



Habitat. — Matto Grosso, Cuyaba, Corumba Biver System, one $ 

 one $ . 



Papilio erlaces lacydes $ f. parvifascia f. nov. 



$ . Fore wing with only two small white spots placed in 3 and 4 } 

 the lower one larger than the other, their outer edges placed as in the 

 typical form. Hind wing spots a little shorter than in typical form, 

 those in 2 and 3 narrower and rounded on the inner edge. 



Habitat. — Canelos, Ecuador, 700 to 800 metres, one $ . 



SATYBIDAE. 

 Eupty cliia virgata sp. nov. 



This specimen was in the Grose-Smith Collection labelled "N. Gen., 

 N. sp." We find, however, that in neuration and in palpi it agrees 

 with Eupty cliia.
