and more ronndeJ than in P. belus and allies. The underside of the hindwing is 

 greenish yellow from the base to the black discal band, the upper scales in this 

 basi-discal area being greenish yellow and the tinderscales blackish brown. The 

 claws of the hindtarsns are nearly symmetrical. 

 Scent-scales ochraceons yellow.

c? ? . Sexes similar, apart from abdomen. There is little variability in pattern ; 

 the spots in the costal region on the npperside of the forewing are sometimes 

 minnte. The species is easily recognised by the row of red spots on the disc of 

 the hindwing below. 



Scent-organ : Scales of densely scaled streak three or fonr times as long as 

 broad, those situated between this streak and the abdominal edge being much less 

 elongate. 



Genitalia: c?. Harpe broader than long, strongly but gradually narrowed 

 apicad, apex bifid, each angle being produced into a long curved liorulike tooth, 

 dorsal edge of harpe with some small teeth proximally. ? not dissected. 



Early stages not known.

c? ? . Sexes similar, apart from abdomen ; female a little less metallic than 

 male. The red spots on the underside of tlie hindwing of P. philetas are in 

 P. 7natli/es replaced by greenish yellow ones, which are more or less completely 

 merged together with the submarginal greenish yellow patches. The scales of 

 the forewing, above, are more heavily denticulate than in P. philetas. There is 

 considerable geographical variation in this insect. 



Scent-organ : Scales ovate, or broadly ovate, or asymmetrical, one side being 

 reduced. 



Genitalia: S. Harpe triangular, the apex produced into an acute, curved, 

 hornlike tooth, a similar but much smaller tooth at the ventral [iroxi.ual corner, 



occasionally accompanied by a minute tooth. ?. Vaginal lobes longer than 



broad, separate, not carinate on hiuderside ; spines situated proximally on anal 

 segment heavy. 



Early stages not known.
