c?. Upperside of abdomen (except claspers) whitish primrose-yellow, as in 

 the allied species ; a streak of similar colour on biudwing along abdominal fold. 

 The scales of the nj)perside of both wings nearly all entire, being rounded at apex, 

 except the scaling in the cell of the forewing and along the distal edge of 

 the hindwing. The striation of the scales is strongly marked. The scales of the 

 yellowish white markings of the hindwing are entire, acuminate, like those of 

 the npperside of the abdomen. There is usually only one spot on the disc of the 

 hindwing, situated between C and SC-, but many specimens bear a complete row 

 of spots. The red submargiual spots on the underside of the hindwing are much 

 nearer the distal margin than in P. belus, there being also no white admargiual 

 dots between the veins. The forewing bears two or three creamy white submargiual 

 spots from hinder angle forward. 



? . Abdomen green above. White streak along abdominal fold of hindwing 

 shorter than in male, not reaching base ; there is usually a complete row of spots 

 on the disc. 



Scent-organ : the scales short, some broader than long, multidentate, others 

 about half as long again as broad, tri- or quadridentate, less often bidentate, 

 yellowish. 



Genitalia: S. Harpe a slightly concave, irregularly square piece of chitin, 

 produced at the ventral and at the distal corner each in a carved tooth, a 

 smaller tooth at the oblique upper edge, sometimes accompanied by a second 



small tooth. ? . Hairy lobes situated in the vaginal cavity somewhat acuminate, 



rather close together ; postvaginal sclerite, which forms the roof of the cavity, 

 with a thin mesial carina. 

 Early stages not known. 



Hab. Guatemala southwards to Bolivia, and eastwards to Pard ; may be 

 expected to occur in the province of Goyaz, Brazil. 



The species does not seem to be separated into geographical races.
