S ?. Sexes similar. More specialised in pattern than in P. zete.'i, which comes 

 in some respects near the ancestral form of P. poli/damas, as do P. archidamas and 

 P. sfnv/icr/aniis. On the forewing there are some discal dots preserved, sitnated 

 beyond the apex of the cell, either on both sides (?) or at least on the underside 

 (c?), the spots being larger on the underside than on the upper. The pattern 

 of the underside of the hindwing is not unlike that of P. polijdamas ; the basal dot 

 and costal streak of P. poli/damas are in der/'lliers represented by a heavy basi-costal 

 streak ; behind C there is in most specimens a vestige of a creamy subbasal spot 

 and a silvery antemedian spot, which are homologous to the two creamy spots 

 C — SC^ found in some subspecies of P. polydamas ; sometimes there is a complete 

 row of silvery dots on the disc, but most specimens have only three or two or one 

 silvery spots behind the cell and usually one in the apex of the cell, these spots 

 being found again in P. philenor. 



Scent-organ as in P. philenor. 



Genitalia : S . Harpe triaiignlar, produced apically into a single j)rocess, which 



bears some conical 'teeth. ? . Hairy flaps narrowed proximally as well as apically, 



being ovate-lanceolate, sejiarate at base, each bearing a ridge on hinderside as in 

 P. philenor. 



Early stages not described.

S ? . Sexes similar. In shape resembling P. devilUers. A yellowish band 

 across u]>perside of both wings, somewhat as in P. polydamas ; some dots in and 



beyond apex of cell of forewing, yellowish above, larger and paler on underside. 



Hindwing with a broad l)and of white patclies on underside proximally of black 

 discal band, these i)atches being all contiguous with cell except the last ones ; the 

 white spots attached to the red ones large, the pattern of hindwing reminding one 

 of til at of/', streclierianus.

The three following species of this group are very closely allied, the near 

 phyletic connection between P. polydamas., P. archidamas, and P. streckeriatii/s 

 being evident in every detail of pattern and structure. In fact, there would be some 

 reason for considering ail three as geographical forms of one species.
