S . Patch of forewing variable in extent, twice the size in some specimens as 

 in others, mostly reaching from M' to inner margin, but the streak behind SM^ 



often missing, there being on the other hand often a streak in front of M'. 



The band of the hindwing consists usually of four spots standing closely around 

 apex of cell, and two more or less distinct spots before abdominal margin, there 

 being also a spot or some red scales in the ajjex of the cell in about half the 

 specimens. 



On the underside the forewing bears occasionally a vestigial patch M' — M-. 

 The discal spots of the hindwing are pale pink, spots R^ — M^ are always present, spot 

 R^ — R^ is often vestigial, spot M- — SM' standing proximally of red anal submarginal 

 spot either present or absent ; anal spot with or without white proximal border. 



?. Cell-patch of forewing more or less narrowed anteriorly ; band of hindwing 

 entering cell, red or pinkish buff. 



Scent-organ present, but variable in extent.

S. I'pperside. — Forewing : patches purer grey than in P. e. euryleon, different

 scales before M' and sometimes a streak behind SM", the patch M' — W i)rojccting 



beyond the second patch. Hindwing : a small spot in apex of cell, seldom 



absent, and three to five spots around iipex of cell, the last one being vestigial ; a 

 trace of a sixth spot at abdominal margin. 



Underside, — Forewing : a large white patch M' — M-, both the upper and under
