Underside. — Forewing : apical area paler than basi-discal area, but uut so pale 

 brown as in P. pohjd. pohjdamas ; spots SC'^ — 11' small, while spots R- — SM- are 



ranch larger than above. Hindwing almost uniformly brownish black, a grey 



costal streak as in lucianiis, .renodamas, etc., and also a vestige of grey spot 

 proximally of the brick-red sjiot (_'— SC^ ; snlmiarginal spots as large as in 

 ar>iodamas,Y>{i]eT red, nearly as close to margin as in P. poli/d. poli/damas ; marginal 

 spots larger than in the other subspecies ; a thin grey bar M- — SM- proximally ot 

 red anal spot, preceded before M- by a thin obliipie grey bar.

<? ? . Uppei-side.—FoTewiDg : a complete band of large spots from SC^ to inner 

 margin, spot SC— R' being the smallest, a streak in front of SCS somewhat 

 shadowy bnt always distinct, some yellowish scaling between SC'-^ and R' close to 



cell ; the band much nearer the margin than in neodamas and xenodamas. 



Hindwing : a distinct spot behind C ; band curved, about two mm. distant from 

 cell, patches SC- — M- about equal in size, or the second patch a little longer than 

 the others. 



[';?r/(V«iV/t'.— Forewing : spots SC^— R' much smaller and the others rather 



larger than above, no streak before SC^ or only a vestige of it. Hindwing : a 



more or less distinct grey costal streak at base outside praecostal spur, and usually 

 a distinct grey spot behind C a little beyond middle ; brick-red snbraarginal spots 

 as in xenodamas, bnt much nearer the margin ; a distinct grey bar jiroximally of red 

 anal spot, the bar usually extended to M' ; creamy white marginal spots rather 

 larger than in xenodamas.
