 a somewhat larger one (1 mm. wide) beyond middle i>l' inner margin also creamy 

 white. No blue scales present. 



Hindwdng with a buff patch in basal half, neither reaching base uor co.stal and 

 abdominal margins, about .") mm. wide, rounded outside: a small subluniform spot 

 (li mm. at its widest part) within anal angle, and fringe at extremities of nervules, 

 especially in front, buff -colour. 



Vnilerside as above, all the spots buff'-coluai'. Cell of forewing with a rounded 

 s])ot in the middle and a transverse line near apex ; spots in and near middle of 

 inner margin merged together to one longitudinal mark. Apex of hindwing with a 

 marginal spot, diameter aliout 1 mm. 



Antennae as thin as in P. goldiei Druce. Palpi, head, thorax, and abdomen 

 buff- yellow. Base of second and the whole third joint of the palpi, the frontal pro- 

 cessus of the head and a transverse spot at the insertion of the antennae, thorax 

 above (except edge of collar, tips of tegnlae, and a lateral spot upon metathorax), 

 apical half of the dorsal and basal half of the ventral portions of the abdominal 

 segments (except last segment, which is all buff-yellow), a large spot upon the fore- 

 breast, all the femora, tibiae (except a spot upon the foretibiae), aud tarsi black. 



Third joint of palpi scarcely half as long again as broad; tibiae without tufts of 

 hairs; frontal processus of head rather convex, circular ridge one-fifth the diameter 

 of the front of the head. Second partition of the median nervnre on the fore- 

 and hindwings slightly shorter than the respective portion of the outer margin. 

 U])per discocellular veinlet to hindwings shorter than the lower one.

c?. Uppersiile : forewing black, with three maize-yellow markings — namely, a 

 spot in basal fourth 4 mm. long and :i mm. broad, neither reaching costal margin 

 nor submedian vein, broadest at median vein ; a second spot within apex of cell, 

 1 mm. short of the discocellulars, faintly reniform; and a band situate 1 mm. outside 

 apex of cell, and running from the costa towards inner angle, ending a little beyond 

 vein 2, rounded behind, slightly tapering towards costa, 3i mm. liroad at vein ;i. 

 Besides these markings there are three wliite luinnte spots near the base, one 

 before costal nervnre, the two others at the sulimedian vein. Three short metallic 

 blue lines, one in middle of cell, the second upon the discocellulars, and the third, 

 outside the maize-yellow band ; some blue scales behind costal margin and between 

 median and snbmedian veins. Fringe phuubaginous at the extremities of the 

 veins. 



Hindwing orpiment orange ; outer margin black : this border is Ci mm. 

 broad at vein 7 and becomes slightly narrower behind, having at anal angle a 

 breadth of 4 mm. ; at costal margin it is extended down to the base, but this costal 

 l)order is only A mm. broail. A minule black sjiot upon the discocellulars. Fringe 

 irregularly white at the nervules. 



Underside: forewing with the three marlxings deeper yellow; I he snbbasal 

 patch enlarged, nearly occupying the basal fifth of the wing, and the subai)ical band 

 broader at vein 1^.
