Roger's nomenclatnre being French, not Latin, his name cannot be accepted 

 for this species. Boisduval (1830) erroneonsly applied the name " pirithous 

 Roger" to the female of a very different insect (/'. hjrophron). 



S ? . Nearest to P. thoas and aristor ; tlie discal markings of the uppcrside 

 have nearly all disa])peared, while the submarginal ones are large, the latter being 

 opalescent white on the hindwing of the female. On the underside of the hindwiug 

 there arc two red spots at cell as in P. tkoas, and a row of blue discal spots as in 

 r. aristoJemus and tlwns. 



■ Genitalia : 6- Tenth tergite long, narrowing apicad, slightly constricted just 

 before apex ; sternite armed at each side with a large, pointed, dentate j)rocess ; 



harpe short, broad, rounded, ending in a short point. ? . Anterior edge of 



vaginal orifice raised into a smooth tubercle ; laterally of the orifice a large 

 depression, the lateral edge of which is elevated, standing posteriorly in connection 

 with the postvaginal ridges ; behind the orifice a quadrangular groove with 

 elevated edges, laterally of this strongly chitiuised groove a ridge which ends 

 anteriorjy near the hinder edge of the orifice in a truncate denticulate process. 



Early stages not known.

The type-Specimen of this species appears to have been destroyed. According 

 to Boisduval, I.e., the specimen e.xisted in the Paris Museum when he wrote the 

 Species General, but it is no longer in that collection — at least we have not found 

 it there. The only specimen known to us is in the magnificent collection of Mons, 

 Charles Oberthiir, who kindly lent it to us for figuring. 



(?. Abdomen black, with a subdorsal and a snbveutral row of buff-yellow spots, 

 the claspers and the eighth segment being more extended yellow. 



Underside of wings similar to upper, spots paler, anterior discal ones of 

 forewing and submarginal ones of hindwing larger ; forewing with buff subapical 

 cell-patch, which does not extend across the cell ; hindwing : the discal spots 

 C — R' yellowish, vestigial in the sjiccimen, the first indicated also on upperside, 

 traces of two orange-red spots R- — M' at cell, which were ajaparently mure distinct 

 in Godart's specimens ; a row of small blue spots proximally of the submarginal 

 spots. 



Nenration : cell of forewing as in /'. euii/uanadtis, asymmetrical, the lower 

 angle being very obtuse. 



Genitalia : c?. Tenth tergite long, curved downwards at ajjcx, spatnlate : 

 sternite at each side with a long, pointed tooth bearing proximally a rounded 

 hairy projection ; harpe broad, excavated, suddenly narrowed to a point, dentate 

 distaliy at ventral edge. 



Female and early stages not known.
