(J. Similar to the preceding ; spots 11^ — M^ of nnderside of Liudwiiig jialer, 

 close together, nearer to cell, spot R'— M' longer than the distance of this spot 

 from cell. 



?. White patch of forewing .is in P. a. aeneas, consisting of a large spot 

 R^ — M', a smaller cell-sjjot, a minute spot R^ — W, and a small streak behind 



M'. Red band of hindwing broad, extending from R' to abdominal margin, 



touching cell or nearl}', spot R' — M' the longest, about four times as long as broad, 

 the spots close together above, the last one standing a little separate ; on underside 

 the first spot minute, sejiarate, the last small, also separate, the four others nearly 

 as large as above.

(?. Green patch of forewing larger than in the three preceding forms, 

 touching cell in most specimens, extending basad to SM' or even beyond. Spots 

 R^ — M^ of underside of hindwing pinkish white, nearer the cell than in /'. a. aeneas 

 and marcius and closer together, spot M' — M'' sometimes obsolescent. 



?. Dichromatic. 



«'. ?-f. ji>/romelas nov. (PI. VI. fig. 37). — This is the usnal form. Forewing 

 without white patch, deeper black than in the other subspecies, with vestiges of white 



fringe-spots. Hindwing : red baud broad, much broader than the black distal 



area, the sjiots close together, tlie central ones touching cell as in female of litws, or 

 the band 3 or 4 mm. distant from cell, in this case its inner edge being concave ; 

 no spot before R' ; spot at abdominal margin (the si.xth) separate, distinct or 

 vestigial or absent; scales of red band either mostly entire or finely denticulate; 



the band narrower on underside, sixth (last) spot small or .absent. Tliis female 



diil'ers from that of 7'. dnieei especially in cro'ss-voin D-' of iiindvving being at least 

 as long as D^, and in the apex of the abdomen bearing a red spot only behind 

 vaginal cavity, there being no red scales at the edges of segments 7 and 8 ; tlie 

 forewing is also more opaque. 



b'. ?-f. eucltaria nov. (PI. YI. fig. 35). Apparently a very rare form, 



which we thougiit first to represent a distinct species. Besides tlie spccitnen 

 figured (from the Peren6 River) we have seen only one other, which is in the 

 collection of Mr. H. J. Adams, being also found in the Perene valley (5000 ft., 



May — June 1902, W. Watkins). Forewing with large white patcii. Eiglith 



abdominal segment more extended red than in other females of /'. aeneas.
