 cJ. Forewing : green patch M- — SM" longer than Ijroail ; white sj)o(; M' — W 

 large, spot R^— M' nsnally larger than M'— JP, a more or less distinct spot II'-— R' ; 



green streak at inner margin broad. Hindwing : red pateh less ])ahnate tlnin 



in the Bolivian form, sjwt R'— 11' rarely pnrple at base, the spots paler beneath 

 than in consus, W — M' close to cell. 



S . Forewing : a large jiatch M'— M-, a somewhat smaller one R'— M', often 



a spot R-— R' and a dot behind W-, cell-streak distinct in most specimens. 



Hindwing : band more S-shaped than in the other forms, narrow middle spots close 

 to cell above and below, jialer beneath than in the Bolivian subspecies, with which 

 this subspecies agrees best.

(J. Foiewing with greenish bine patch and at least two white spots, lied baud 

 of hindwing sei)arate from cell or contiguous with it, no red spot in cell or only 

 a minute one. Midtibia spinose as in P. neoj>/iilus. 



? . Very close to certain females of P. neojMus ; either the white spots of 

 forewing more or less rounded and no spot in cell, or spot M'— M" oblong, large, 

 and a sharply defined sjiot in cell ; band of underside of hindwing paler pink than 

 in neophilus, there being hardly any black scales in the band. 



Scent-organ and genitalia as in P. neophilus. 



Early stages mentioned by Bnrmeister, l.r. 



Ilab. Brazil, from Rio de Janeiro to Pernambuco. 



In the district where xacjjiithua occnrs P. ncoplrilm is not found. Tiio two 

 insects are so closely related that it is quite possible there exists an intermediate 

 form, perhaps in Goyaz, where the Brazilian and Amazonian faunae meet. Of 

 the two subspecies of /'. zaajntlms the more northern one agrees better with 

 P. neophilus than the sonthern one.
