" This species closely resembles P. Brkhonius, and is to be distin- 

 guished from it only by a large yellow spot near the middle of the inner 

 margin of the fore wings, which in En'thonius and DrmoUus is divided 

 into two parts; and by one little yellow spot, joined to the outer edge 

 of the transverse band of the hind wings, whilst in Erifhonius there 

 are two or three.

This differs from the normal state in having the upper surface densely 

 powdered with very fine yellow atoms; in the absence of a yellow spot 

 just within the line of the sub-marginal spots; and in the shape of the 

 lower spot in the cell, which has the appearance of an inverted comma. 

 On the hind wings the sub-marginal spots are nearly square; the trans- 

 verse yellow band is not near so irregular as in the typical condition ; 

 the projecting yellow spots are so reduced in size as to be nearly in a 

 straight line, though not so much as in Pap. Demoleus; and the red- 

 dish-brown anal spot contains, in its upper portion, a deep velvety 

 black round dot, surmounting which there is a light blue lunule. 



Below, as on the upper surface, with the addition of a long, fulvous, 

 sinuate band near the apex of the primaries ; and that the sub-margi- 

 nal lines on the secondaries are all united, forming a broad, pale yellow 

 sinuate band.
