This is a most distinct species, of which the cJ is described below for the tirst 

 time. 



cJ. s{bore. Nearest to P. hridi/ei, bnt band on forewing cnrves inwards 

 gradnally from vein 2. On hindwing the band is broader bnt does not rini in 

 more than half the distance to base of wing above vein 7. 



Beloic. It is nnlike any of this gronp as it has a cream-colonred band of

(?. Above. Differs from P. u. autoli/cus in the blue being darker and less 

 metallic ; on forewing above median nervnre it barely reaches ape.x of cell and is 

 absent in costal area ; below median nervnre the patches are cut short exactly in 

 a straight line with apex of cell. On hindwing the bine is much reduced and 

 sharply cut off rectangularly. 



Belotv. The whole colour is much darker.
