All the wings of the male above white, the anterior with the base 

 slightly irrorated with black, the costa narrowly black, the outer 

 margin with a border of the same colour broad and deeply den- 

 tate internally towards the apex, narrower and less deeply dentate 

 towards the anal angle, median nervure and outer part of the 

 subcostal black. Posterior wings white, with a narrow black 

 border dentate internally, the base itself pale yellow, the space 

 between the cell and the inner and outer margins as far as the 

 cellular fold between the middle and outer median nervule bright 

 luteous orange. Below, the anterior wings are fuscescent,with pur- 

 plish and bronzy reflections, irrorated with yellow along the costa ; 

 a vitta in the cell, a transverse macular band beyond it, and the 

 whole inner margin as far as the cell white ; the apex with a short 

 yellow band divided into three parts by the nervules. Posterior 

 wings bright yellow, orange towards the anal angle, with a broad 

 fuscous border in which is a distinct yellow spot towards the 

 outer angle, and also some slight clouds of the same colour; 

 costal, subcostal and median nervures black. 



Female with the anterior wings above fuscous, the costa irro- 

 rated with pale yellow, a vitta in the cell, five vittse beyond, of 

 which the third is the shortest, a submarginal series of six not 

 well-defined spots, and a spot on the inner margin yellowish 

 white. Posterior wing yellow at the base and along the inner 

 margin, the anal angle occupied by a large tawny brown patch, 

 the outer margin broadly fuscous except at the anal angle, costal 

 and subcostal nervules bordered with the same colour. Below, 

 nearly as in the male, but paler.

This beautiful species, of which I have only seen the pair in 

 the collection of the Museum and a specimen sent from Borneo 

 by H. Low, Esq., jun., is closely allied to Pi. Judith.
