and M' nsnally somewliat produced, especiall)- in female ; submarginal spots thin 

 crescents on npperside ; on nnderside, pvoximally of the submarginal spots, a row 

 of bine Innnles, and proximally of these and parallel with them a row of rufous red 

 crescents. 



Genitalia: 6. Tenth tergite spatulate. Clasper and harpe broad; the latter 

 about two-thirds the length of the former, rounded at apex, bearing ventrally 

 a long pointed conical process directed distad and reaching a little beyond the 

 apex ; at dorsal margin of harpe an oblique ridge bearing numerous curved, 



conical, pointed teeth, forming a kind of rasp. ?. Edge of vaginal orifice raised 



right and left into a rounded lobe, and proximally into a kind of smooth ridge 

 which extends into the orifice, being narrowed posteriorly ; behind the orifice a 

 membranaceous lobe or tubercle densely clothed with minute hairs ; laterally of 

 the orifice a broad brown flap bearing several acute teeth ; anal segment witli a 

 few short stout bristles on innerside. 



Larva and pupa first figured by Merian, and later by Burmeister, Sepp, and 

 others (see literature below). Both Sepp and Burmeister considered the cateriiillar 

 represented by Stoll, in Cramer, Pap. Exut. SuppL, t. 1. fig. 1, to be that of the 

 present species, not of P. ainosis = hi/ppason as stated by Stoll. We are not sure 

 that those authors were right. Stoll's figure bears distinct tubercles, such as are 

 found in P. epinetes and allies, to which group P. hi/ppason belongs, while the adult 

 caterpillar of P. androgcus has no distinct tubercles.

 S. Yellow area of both wings on the whole more extended than in the Soutli 

 American forms; tlie small patch in front of the subcostal fork of the forewing 

 usually larger. 



?. Only one form known. Forewing with small yellow patches or vestiges 

 of them around upper angle of cell, the patches larger below than above, forming 

 a curved band ; no patch in coll or on disc, but there are sometimes some yellow 

 scales in the apex of cell on underside. Greenish blue scaling on disc of hind- 

 wing denser than in the other forms, the blue area being rather sharply defined 

 proximally, entering cell.
