78 Wyatt: More Afghanistan butterflies Vol.18: no.2
FURTHER ADDITIONS TO THE RHOPALOCERA OF AFGHANISTAN
by Colin W. Wyatt
Gobbets, Mavius Rd., Farnham. Surrey, ENGLAND
In this Journal (vol.15: 1-18; 1961) I described various "Additions to the Rhopalocera of Afghanistan with descriptions of new species and subspecies". In 1963 I returned there in the company of my friend Mr. Keiichi Omoto; the results of our expedition will be published later. Meanwhile, I give below the descriptions of the hitherto unknown $ 9 of two subspecies described by me in the article mentioned above: — Papilio alexanor hazarajatica Wyatt
Neallotype $ : Panjao, W. Koh-i-Baba Mts, 10,000 ft, 26 June 1963. Markings exactly as in $9 ground color slightly paler, and size very slightly larger.
Karanasa pamira kotandari Wyatt
Neallotype 9 : Kotandar Pass, Paghman Mts, Kabul, 11,500 ft, 25 August 1963. General markings and size as in $. Disc of forewing suffused with bright chestnut-brown into outer half of cell, and almost to base below cell. Vestigial traces of median band in slightly deeper tone of chestnut. Apical ocelli only present, as in 8, but this may not always be the case; in the closely allied race haslundi CI. & Sh. the 2 usually, but not always, has two ocelli as is normal in this genus. Ocelli slightly smaller than in $7 white pupilled. Chestnut color very slightly paler in the two internural spaces between ocellus and cell, and around the ocellus, but NOT a definitely different paler color as in K. p. haslundi. Underside as in $; forewing entirely suffused with chestnut, to base. Hind wing ground color a duller brown, not so blackish as in $.
