a large black discal spot SC- — R', almost tonching the subcostal streak ; creamy 

 spots around apex of cell nearly as large as in zalatcs. 



Underside. — Basi-discal area of liindwing nearly as pale as above, orange-tawny 

 at costal margin and distally ; black subcostal streak broader than in the other 

 forms, washed out at the edges, entering cell ; black discal spot SC- — R' triangular, 

 larger than in the other subspecies.

<?. Basal cell-patch of forewing always clearly rnarked, snbapical cell-patch 

 narrow or broad, occasionally continuous with the basal patch posteriorly ; discal 

 spot R' — R-' usually as large as the last discal spot, rarely a mere dot ; the discal 

 spots very variable in size, in some specimens only one-third the size as in others ; 

 the spots R^ — M- at cell never ab.sent, but often small, sometimes joined to the 



discal spots. Hindwing always orange in cell and beyond ; the orange spots 



around apex of cell very variable, spot R- — R^ often absent, sometimes both 

 spots R- — M' mere specks ; black discal spot SC- — R' often vestigial, diffuse. 



Underside. — The discal spots situated distally of cross-veins on forewing very 



rarely reduced to dots. Basi-discal area of hindwing usually pale in middle, but 



sometimes the pale colour reduced to some traces situated at the black subcostal 

 streak ; black discal spot SO- — R' present in most specimens. 



? . A specimen in Mr. Godman's collection from Mnzo. Abdomen black-brown 

 above ; proximal cell-patch of forewing and patches between cell and hiiidmargin 

 orange; patches R^ — (SM') extended to cell; a broad streak along hindmargin. 

 Black subcostal streak of hindwing reduced.

i. Ujiperside. — Forewing, subapical cell-patch large, more or less rounded 

 distally ; s])ots R^ — M'- situated at cell absent or well marked; discal spot \V — R-, 

 which is nearly always large in the other forms, usually minute, sometimes absent, 

 seldom as large as the last spot of the discal row; discal spots R^ — M' usually longer 

 than in the other subspecies; submargiual spots R' — SJl- as a rule smaller than 

 in the preceding form, often vestigial, the posterior ones being sometimes absent. 



Hindwing, basi-discal area paler than in ascolius, usually hardly at all washed 



with orange, but sometimes more extended orange than in the palest specimens of 

 P. a. ascolius ; width of black distal border as in ascolius, variable ; black discal 

 spot SC^ — R' mostly absent. 



Underside. — Subajjical cell-patch of forewing rounded distally. Basi-discal 



area of hindwing either pale in middle, or the pale colour marked only at the black 

 subcostal streak; discal spot SC-— R' varying from black to tstwny, often vestigial,
