XXX. — Descriptions of neio Species of Lepidoptera^ chiefly from Central America. By Heebeet DeuCE, F.L.S., F.E.G.S., F.Z.S. The new species of Central-American Heterocera will be figured in the * Biologia Centrali-Americana.' Ehopaloceea. Papilio, Linn. Papilio Langeni^ sp. n. Primaries black, with three indistinct white spots forming a broken band beyond the cell, crossing the wing from near the costal margin towards the outer margin ; secondaries black, with a large central creamy white band, in shape almost the same as in P. albi7ius, Wall. Underside of the primaries black, with the indistinct white spots as above : secondaries uniformly black, with a small orange streak well above the anal angle. In some specimens the white spots on the primaries are almost gone. Expanse 4| inches. Hab. K6 Island (Mus. Druce, Godman and Salvin). This species is allied to P. alhinus, Wallace, from New Guinea ; but it is at once distinguished from that insect by the entirely black underside of the secondaries. I have little doubt that it is peculiar to K6 Island.
