The amount of white on the forewinga is rather variable; some specimen.s are 

 scarcely different in respect to the white patch from P. varana. On the hindwings 

 there appear not seldoiri white scales on the disc about midway between the discoidal 

 cell and the outer margin ; this white scaling increases sometimes so much as to 

 form a white di.scal band, which outwardly is concave between the nervules and 

 rather well defined, while it inwardly gradually shades otf. 



The abdominal fold of the male is the same as in vwniaa.

S. The hindwings have mostly three triangular white patches, which incluile 

 often a black spot each ; sometimes the patches have a reddish tint.

Anal \al\es of nude normal ; abdominal fold and scent-organ strongly developed. 

 Hindwings of both sexes elongate, with tails. 



In the form of the cell to the hindwings the species of this group come nearest 

 to P. zaleucus, seinperi, prlapus, oAdoaeus, etc. ; in 7-". nox and allies the basal 

 partition of the subco-stal nervure is much shorter than in the other species of the 

 /io,«-group and in the species of the present group.
