The insect figured by Cramer as areas is without donlit the female of the 

 present subspecies. The fringe-spots of the hindwing are white in the figure ; but 

 that is surely a mere error in coloration, since similar mistakes occur in other 

 figures — for instance, in fig. F of PI. 386, which represents the male of areas 

 (= eurimedes).

This insect takes a similar position towards P. areas as does P. zaci/nthus 

 towards P. neophilus (= aeneides auct.) ; but, while in zacyntkus it is the male 

 which differs more essentially from P. neophilus, it is the female of timias which 

 differs conspicuously from P. areas. 



There is apparently no structural diiference between timias and areas. Male 

 with a large green patch on forewing from inner margin beyond R' and two 

 conspicuous white spots R^ — M' ; apical half or third of cell of hindwing red. In 

 female the forewing bears two rounded spots, R-— BI', white, more or less shaded 

 with brown, the upper one being the larger; red baud of hindwing across apex of 

 cell, its proximal edge nearly straight. Cell of forewing with or without small 

 subapical spot, never with broad patch as in ? P. areas.
