Not SO much arched as in Fap. Fammon ; of a greenish brown, min- 

 gled with darker spots; prominent processes on all of the abdominal 

 segments, while in Pammon they are found only upon the first two rings.

Rather smaller than P. Poli/tes ; the longitudinal rays on the outer 

 half of the primary wings of that species become whitish in this, espe- 

 cially towards the internal angle. Inferior wings tailed, long and spa- 

 tulate; disc contains a white spot, not palmate, divided by very narrow 

 grayish nervures, into four parts ; the posterior and inner portions of 

 which are in conjunction with a large reddish-brown spot, divided into 

 three parts by black nervules ; that on the anal margin containini: a 

 large round black dot ; the middle one is much the longest, touching 

 inferiorly the last of a row of six sub-marginal reddish-brown lu- 

 nules, which are rather larger than those of Pohjtes ; indentations of 

 both anterior and posterior wiogs white, excepting the anal, which is a 

 little fulvous; expanse 4.13 inches; the red parts near the anal margin 

 are powdered with violet atoms. 



Below, the same as above, but the white indentations on the posterior 

 wings are much larger and fulvous at the base. Body, the same as 

 Polytes, with the addition of a ventral white band.

Boisduval says, it is not tailed, but that the posterior wings are sim- 

 ply produced in a short tooth. This is, then, either a .sexual distinc- 

 tion, or the tail was excised in the specimens which he examined, for 

 in mine, which agrees with his description in every other particular, it 

 is not only very distinct, but also a little longer than that of Paj). Fo- 

 lates.
