 xenodamas, bnt rather larger than in neodamas, especially the uppermost one ; 



three small dots SC — R- and a vestige of dot SC^— SC^ Hindwijig : band 



distinctly curved, standing two or three mm. from cell, very slightly narrowing 

 backwards ; a vestigial spot C — SC- in male, a distinct spot in female. 



Underside. — Forewing : creamy white spots intermediate in size betsveen those 

 oi xenodamas smCl neodamas, spot R- — R^ arrowhead-shaped like the others, spots 



between costal margin and R- absent or vestigial. Hindwing slightly paler 



brown from base to disc than in xenodamas ; a vestige of a grey subbasal streak, 

 no grey subbasal patch C— SC- ; red submarginal spot a little smaller than in 

 xenodamas and a little nearer the margin ; no grey bar proximally of red anal spot, 

 or only a vestige of it. 



Genitalia not markedly different from those of P. pohjd. pohjdamas, but the 

 carina which runs from the upper hook proximad is parallel with the carina of the 

 lower hook, the two carinae being proximally connected with one another by a 

 transverse ridge which stands at right angles to them.
