(b) : P. liris wetterensis subsp. nov. [_<S, ?]. 



Head and sides of thorax redder than in liris ; abdomen and submarginal spots 

 to the hindwings as in liris, but the submarginal spots are less distinct on the u])per- 

 side, being much shaded with black. The pale region of the forewings is as broad 

 as in Liris, and whiter, being scarcely tinged with buff; the band of the hindwings 

 is much narrower than in liris; above, it is strongly shaded with black; below, 

 it bears a red spot at its outer edge behind the costa, and is entirelv (J) or almost 

 entirely (?) red beyond the lower median nervule. 



The basal and marginal region of the wings is rather deeper black than in liris, 

 especially in the/rmrtZe.

(J?. PaiiiUo liris var. sr.iieicens Ruber, Tijihc/ir. v. Knt. XXXIV. p. 272 (1891) (Kisser, nee

 [laler Ijrown, and the median band to the hindwings narrower.

Paiiilio liris v.^^. seiipsmis Rober, l.r. p. 272 (IH'Jl) {p.j). ; Letti, nee Kisser), 



Agrees in t he buff-colour of the body and the submarginal spots of the liindwings 

 with P. liris fiherrans Butl. The wings are of a pale sepia-brown colour; the band 

 of the wings and the spots of the hindwings are much shaded with brown on the 

 ujiperside; below, the submarginal s^wts are also more or less shaded with brown. 



The band of the hindwings varies rather in breadth; on the underside, it is 

 lirowu beyond the lower median vein in some specimens ; in others it includes a 

 small black spot near the anal angle ; in others again there is also a small black spot 

 behind the costa.
