(J. Papilin warscexciczi Hopffer, Stetl. Eiit. Zeil. xxvii. p. 29. n. 11 (1866) (Bolivia). 



(?. Underside of abdomen densely covered with tawny-olive hair-soales, 

 similar hairs on the breast. Costal margin of forewing serrate ; two rows of sjiots 

 on 7/ppersidc, no cell-patch, discal row sometimes partly obsolete, the two rows 

 almost parallel, the snbmarginal row augulate at SC^, the first two spots being more 

 distal than the third spot, the snbmarginal spots larger than the discal ones, except 



the two npper ones. Hind wing with long obtuse tail, teeth M' and M- being 



also i^rolonged ; snbmarginal spots large, creamy or yellowish, shaded with black, a 

 discal band or a row of spots of the same colour, distant from cell, the spots often 

 obsolete, a postdiscal row of blue spots. 



Underside resembling P. cleotas in so far as there is the same kind of 

 markings, thongh differently developed ; forewing black from base to hinder angle 

 and anteriorly beyond cell (as far as the wing is covered by the hiudwing, when 

 at rest), apical area cinnamon like the hindwing ; a creamy or yellow cell-patch ; 

 discal and snbmarginal spots larger than above, the npper snbmarginal spots often 



enlarged to broad patches. Hindwing : a broad continuous discal band, its inner 



edge even, slightly curved, the outer edge crenate, the band creamy white, often 

 washed with cinnamon ; snbmarginal spots the same colour, large, ujjper ones often 

 much enlarged, extending from edge of wing to discal band, being either merged 

 together with the latter or separated from it by their cinnamon crescents ; hairs 

 in posterior area tawny-olive ; shoulder often creamy. 



? not known. 



Genitalia : Tenth tergite very long, snbijrismatical, the underside being some- 

 what roof-shaped e.xcept at apex, which is flat above and below, appearing sinuate 

 V)eneath in lateral view ; sternite strongly chitinised laterally, separated by an 

 oblique groove into a larger anterior portion which is produced into a proximal and 

 a distal tooth, both more or less denticnlated, and into a smaller posterior portion 

 which is obtuse. Harpe similar to that of P. aristeus, flat, with two apical 

 jjrocesses. 



Early stages not known. 

 Hab. Ecuador to Bolivia. 

 Three subspecies.

cj. Similar to the next form ; discal spots of forewing ill-defined ; the under- 



scales being all black, except in the spots at costal margin. Discal band of 



hindwing rather strongly curved ; ill-defined ; bine spots narrow, curved ; last 

 snbmarginal spot orange-red. 



Discal spots on underside of forewing large and brown, distal marginal area 

 much widened before middle. Posterior brown postdiscal spot W — M' of hindwing 

 smaller than in the other forms ; snbmarginal s{)ot M' — M- orange in middle. 



Genitalia (Loja specimen) : Tenth tergite broad, nou-spatulate, apex less curved 

 downward than in the Bolivian form ; first and second tooth of sternite close 

 together, the interspace being much smaller than that between the second and third, 

 the first tooth long, strongly denticulate. Upper prong of harpe much longer than 

 the lower one, both straight.
