Female. — Uppei' surface brownish-black, liiihter towards the outer 

 margin. Anterior wings present a sub-marginal row of lunulate white 

 sjx>ts; that one at the apex, however, is a large oblong dash; the place 

 of the indentations marked with small white spots. 



Posterior wings have two rows of white marks; the inner sagittate 

 and indistinct, the outer white and lunate, excepting the anal spot, 

 which is bright orange-yellow ; indentations same as in the male ; ex- 

 panse 4.25 inches. 



Below, rich chocolate-brown ; white spots on the fore and hind wings 

 are more brilliant; and in addition to the two rows of white marks on 

 the hind wings, there is a marginal row of yellow spots, as in the male, 

 above the indentations. 



Body as in the male. 



JIab. — The same as the male.

'• Closely allied to P. Panope., Linn., of which it will probably prove 

 only a geographical variety, differing from the typical Continental indi- 

 viduals in the large pale patch near the tip of the fore wings, and in 

 the hind wings beneath, having the veins margined with pale buff. In 

 the disposition of the markings it otherwise accords with P. Panope 

 but its fore wings are more ovate, the apical margin being a little 

 rounded ; they are of a rich brown color, with a large whitish patch, 

 formed of three confluent oblong spots near the apex of the wing, fol- 

 lowed by a single small oval spot close to the apex; and beneath these 

 are several small conical spots, which become united with the marginal
