 indicating the band ; hindwing of female with a vestige of a red dot in apex of cell. 

 Middle and Upper Amazons ; name-type: ? , from Iqnitos. 



U. P. a. gayi f. cyamon Gray, I.e. ; P. eharoha Kirby, I.e. — S. Similar to male 

 of P. a. evagoras ; forewing with a band which is on the whole a little more distal 



than in evagoras. Hindwing : four or five red spots, middle ones either reaching 



cell or separate from it. ?. With narrow vestigial band on forewing; hindwing 



with red cell-spot ; sometimes nearly all the sjiots of the hindwing creamy. 



Middle and Upper Amazons ; Ecuador ; Pern ; Bolivia. 



e'. P. a. gayi f. gayi Lucas I.e. ; P. aristagoras Feld., I.e. ; P. arianus Stand., 

 I.e. ; P. eyamon Gray, l.c ., ? non S. — $. Forewing: a large huffish patch before 

 inner margin ; seldom white, varying much in size, sometimes not reaching M-, 

 in other specimens externally produced forwards, this projection corresponding to 



the band of the next form (cJ-f. cyamon). Hindwing : two to five red spots 



(occasionally creamy), sometimes only the last spot distinct, spots variable in size, 



sometimes ajiproaching cell. ?. Forewing : one or two large white patches on

behind SM- sometimes absent. Hindwing : a band of six long red spots, the 



last double, spots R- — M-' touching cell, i-ome grey and red scales between C and 

 SC- representing a seventh spot ; in one of the sjiecimeus some grey scales in apex
