of cell and the disc beyond being sufifused with greyish white ; scales of npperside 

 entire, somewhat fan-shaped, being almost gradually widened, with the ajiex 



ronuded as in P. laodamas, belus, etc. Hindwing : scales of npperside nearly 



all entire, those in anal area being denticulate ; two rows of grey-green or greenish 

 yellow spots; the discal spots more or less ovate, often mere dots, sometimes 

 vestigial, the middle ones nsnally of almost even size, the first, second and last 

 being generally smaller than the others ; the snbmargiual spots angle-shaped, the 

 npper ones being reduced to dots in many specimens ; red submarginal spots of 

 underside resembling those of P. laodamas and j^olydamas ; no white dots distally 

 of them. 



Scent-organ : scales twice or 2i times as long as broad, strongly striate, mostly 

 somewhat asymmetrical. 



Genitalia of the same type as in P. belus.

The report of an occi;rrence of this species near Buenos Aires (Burmeister) is 

 confirmed by a female in coll. Charles Oberthlir collected by Kinkelin at Zarate,

c? ? . Submarginal spots of npper- and nnderside of forewing and discal ones 

 of npperside of hindwing larger than in the following form. 



lu some individuals the discal spots of the hindwing are so large that the middle 

 ones extend close to cell. Most males have seven distinct submarginal spots on the 

 npperside of the forewiug, while in the females the upper two or three spots are 

 nsnally missing.
