margin, this border divided on the anterior wings by a white 

 line interrupted by the nervules, commencing below the second 

 median nervule and extending nearly to the anal angle ; on the 

 posterior by a series of six lunules ; anterior wings black at the 

 base, crossed immediately beyond the base by a transverse band, 

 followed by another directed rather more outwardly; another 

 broader band crosses the cell about its middle, sometimes ex- 

 tending beyond the median nervule ; a fourth band crosses the 

 cell between this and its termination, where there is a fifth; 

 neither of these extends below the median nervule. Posterior 

 wings tailed, with two transverse bands near the base, of which 

 one is nearly continuous with the first band of the anterior wings ; 

 the second, often almost macular, sometimes nearly wanting, 

 commences a little within the second band of the anterior wing, 

 its outer edge being nearly continuous with the inner edge of 

 the band of the anterior wings, traverses the wing outside the 

 cell, and at its termination curves round so as to reach the end 

 of the first fascia, and is here marked with two grayish lunules ; 

 on the abdominal margin, near the anal angle, is a small pale 

 spot, and the black border is here powdered with gray. Tails 

 black, edged with white. 



Below, all the markings nearly as above, but of a pale brown ; 

 the white lunules of the posterior wings are edged with black ; 

 the second band composed first of a brown fascia, then a series 

 of seven or eight red spots, bordered with black. 



Head black, with two white lines in front ; antennse black. 



Thorax black above, with two pale lateral lines ; below gray. 



Abdomen black above, gray below, the sides with the margins 

 of the segments pale.

This species is closely allied to P. Nomius of Esper, but may 

 be known by its smaller size, the line in the black border of the 

 anterior wings instead of a series of dots, and some other cha- 

 racters.

Above, anterior wings whitish, slightly tinged at the base with 

 greenish, the outer margin broadly fuscous black, divided by a 

 whitish line extending from the second median nervule nearly to 

 the anal angle ; near the base are two transverse fuscous bands, 

 continued across the posterior wings beyond the middle ; a third
