 {partini). 



c? ? . Hindwing comparatively shorter iu the costal region and longer 

 abdominally than in P. isidorus and P. rhodostictus ; tail absent or short, always 

 broader than in the species mentioned, bnt in one of our Bolivian females fully 

 as long as in those insects. Mai'kinga very variable individually and geographically. 

 The white markings of underside of forewing form occasionally a discal ami 

 a submarginal band. 



Genitalia : S . Harpe always denticulate, the number of teeth quite variable 



individually. ?. A long curved channelled process at proximal side t)f vaginal 



orifice ; laterally a broad mnltidentate lobe, and further proximad a high ridge, the 

 posterior surface of which is concave, shell-like. 



Early stages several times described and figured: see below. 



Hab. Mexico to Southern Brazil. 



Three subspecies. 



The name pompeius, proposed by Fabricius for paiit/ioniis Cramer, was meant 

 to supersede this earlier name. Why Kirby has applied this Fabrician name to the 

 present insect we do not know ; it was perhaps a mere oversight.

tS ? . Forewing : a huffish white jjatch in apex of cell, either above and below 

 or only below, often vestigial ; on icnderside the disc in male usually huffish white 

 from M' forward, no spot behind M' or only a trace of it, rarely a distinct spot 

 M' — M-, this spot being sometimes found in specimens which bear a cell-patch on 

 njiperside ; the huffish white patches larger in female, the row often extending 

 backwards to SM-, there being submarginal bars distally of the patches in many
