P. lycidas. Specimens from Ecuador, in which the bone-coloiired subcostal spot of the hindwing 

 is joined by a series of some more minute internerval spots, were named adlatus Niep. — A corresponding form adlatua. 

 of belus, exhibiting such small internerval spots of an orange colour, the occurrence of which is mentioned already 

 by Jordan on p. 21, is named chrysomacuiatus Niep. Ecuador. ■ — Another 6efe.s-form is: ingenuus Dyar from chrysoma^ 

 Mexico. . culaius. 



P. zelicaon (p. 24). The larva may look almost exactly like that of machaon; but the black colour 

 of the bands may also flow together in such a way that the green disappears almost entirely and that the larva 

 then shows the thick red dots on an entirely black ground, like in Parnass. apollo. 



P. lycopliron v. delunensis is a form denominated by Niepelt, in which the submarginal lunae of the delunemis. 

 hindwings are still more reduced than in hippomedon Fldr. Brazil. 



P. androgeus (p. 26). Fassl bred on the Rio Xingu from larvae having been taken down from orange- 

 trees, after a 100 days' pupal stage aiidrogeus-^^, similar to those of epidaurus G. ds S., which, however, did 

 not show any trace of the yellow spot in the f orewing ; he denominated them mira Fassl. mira. 



P. anchisiades (p. 28). The larva in its juvenile stage lives gregariously and only later on forms the 

 well-known ,,miiTors" of numerous larvae being crowded together on the trunks of orange-trees. In their adult 

 stage they are greenish-brown with numerous chased-like, intertwined markings on the dorsum. Pupae brown, 

 in front and behind often tinted greenish. According to Ferreira d'Almeida, the pupa in Southern Brazil 

 often rests for 4 months, during the whole winter. • — According to Frtjhstorfer (Entomol. Rundschau, 1915, 

 p. 70), specimens from Trinidad (the island) exhibit enlarged white spots on the forewings, as large as in chian- 

 siades (10 d), though removed more proximally. Fruhstorfer introduces for it the name philastrius. pMlastr'ms. 



P. Jiectorides (p. 29). Larva in its adult stage brownish with yellowish-brown and blackish markings 

 and Mhitish, irregular lines and strokes; on the sides of the thoracal ring a light lateral band tinted yellowish 

 or pink; in the shape similar to the larva of tJioas (Ferreira d'Almeida). The imagines are particularly common 

 near Rio in April and May and in August and September. Specimens from Paraguay (^ agordus Fruhst.) show ayordus.

 a coherent white band on the forewing. — lysirte Fruhst. are specimens from Rio Grande do Sul and Sa. Ca- lysWtc. 

 tharina with a broader, mostly hued yellowish band on the $ forewing; in the hindwing also the white spots 

 are larger. 



P. zagreus (p. 31). Specimens from Pozzuzo in Peru, according to Fruhstorfer, differ from typical 

 specimens from Colombia and Venezuela by the median spots being also in the costal part of the wing orange, 

 not light yellow; the antemarginal spots are larger and lighter yellow (= chrysoxanthus Fruhst.). chrysoxan-

spots filling up the radial spaces on the forewing being parted by dark embedments, and by the hind^^ing 

 showing an orange band in front of the black marginal band. 



P. neyi Niep. resembles zagreus (11 c), but it has rounder forewings, in the apical half of which the neyi. 

 bone-coloured spots are niucli larger than in zagreus; in the hindwing the dark spots being situate around the 

 *iower cell-wall are combined to a black cloud. Ecuador. 



As the $ of P. trapeza R. <&: J. Niepelt describes a specimen of this species from Ecuador, which, 

 however, shows entirely male wing-contom's (on the figure in ,,Lepidoptera Niepeltiana" tab. XII) and accor- 

 ding to JoiCEY and Talbot is also in fact a ^ in which the light forewing and the red spot of the hindwing

P. bitias. As v. marcus Niep. a form is described with a more deeply dentate margin and a broader marcus. 

 band of the hindwing beneath; from Pozuzo (Peru). 



P. cacicus peruviana J. ds T. approximates the form inca R. cfc J., but the reddish (in the nominal pentviana. 

 form bone-coloured) discal band shows the spots in the cell 2 and 3 prolonged as far as the cell. Of the post- 

 discal spots only the lower ones form 5 small crescents, whilst the upper ones are only oblong, not sharply clefmed. 

 It replaces the form zaddachi in Peru. Described according to 1 $ from La Merced. 



P. xynias xisuthrus Niep. The c? shows the red spot of the hindwing proximally prolonged; from .visidhrus. 

 Ecuador. Xiepelt figures as the $ of this form quite a similar lepidopteron with decidedly male wmg-contom's, 

 in which the red spot of the hindwing is reduced to a faint trace at the proximal margin above the anal angle; 

 this is presumably likewise a (J.
