<?. White patch of forewing very variable in size, often reduced to a streak 



situated at inner margin, in other specimens the patch being extended beyond M-, 



in most individuals e.xcised in front or obliquely truncate, its distal edge extending 



beyond M-, while proximally the patch docs not reach M- ; on underside the patch 



always small. Hindwing : three to five red spots, variable in size, occasionally 



centred with pinkish white, being on underside pinkish white edged with red 

 distally ; white submarginal bars more often absent than present ; white marginal 

 spots very variable in size ; tooth R' in some sjiecimens more j)rominent than 

 in others. 



? . Dichromatic : 



a}. ?-f. nndrona nov. (PI. V. fig. 19). Forewing with some grey scales on 



disc between lower angle of cell and M- and in cell. Hindwing : a row of five red 



spots, spot W — M' the longest, almost three times as long as broad, ujipermost spot 



small ; the spots pink-white on underside, slightly edged with red distally. One 



specimen in the Tring Museum from Zamora (0. T. Baron).

(fig. of type). Resembling the female of /'. laci/dex. In coll. Oberthiir from Ambato ; in 



coll. Urose-Smith from the Rio Capataza ; in Mus. Tring from the neighbourhood of Zamora. 



Forewing : a large patch across apex of cell, two large patches R- — M' and a 



streak behind M' white. Hindwing : a complete band of white patches, some of 



them slightly edged with red both above and below. 



Mab. of P. harm, xeniades : West coast of Colombia (Rio Dagua), and 

 Ecuador ; apparently common in Eastern Ecuador. 



The females from West Ecuador and West Colombia may possibly be different 

 from the East Ecuadorian females. The long series of males in coll. Oberthiir from 

 Honda, Pacific slope of Colombia, agree on the whole with the specimens from 

 Eastern Ecuador, but the range of variation is somewhat different. One of the 

 Honda individuals has a vestigial band across the cell.
