reaching (|nite across cell. The hand of the forewiug nearly the same in position 

 as the hlno-green hand of the (Iiibiui P. cobimbus {= guiullueliianus); some males 

 have obscnro white spots distally of apex of cell, while in some females these 

 spots, as well as a triangular streak sitnated before cell, are qnite distinct ; in one 

 of onr females the band extends basad to point of origin of M-, being very broad 

 also on hindwing. The anal submarginal spot is comi>k'tely merged together 

 with the anal spot of the discal biuid in most specimens, hnt in some individnals 

 there is a separate snbmarginal anal bar distally of the last patch of the band. 



Genitalia scarcely diflereut from those of P. cliamissonia and jKrrhehm ; harpe 

 ])roximally a little wider.

d ? . Anal snbmarginal spot large on npperside, in male completely merged 

 together with the preceding spot, the edge of the wing at anal angle being 

 very narrowly black ; in female the two spots connected, the anal si)ot being 

 produced distad along M=, the two spots forming a Z-shaped mark, which is well 

 separated from the anal sinns. There is often a minute dot in cell of forewing 

 in male.' The white band of the hindwing is nsnally composed of three spots, 

 which vary in size, the second spot being sometimes missing, while in other 

 individuals there are one, two or three small additional spots, sitnated one in front 

 of and two behind the apex of the cell. Vein M" of hindwing has a more distal 

 position than in the allied species,
