^. llindwings with the submarginal spots red above, without a white mark 

 nefoie or behind the large white discal patch between the discoidal nervules. 



I have not seen a.ny female whicli has all the submarginal spots to the hindwings 

 rod on both sides.

c?. The submarginal spots, at least one of them, of tlic hindwings more or less 

 white. 



5 . All the specimens of this sex which are not ty\AcaX jjhiloxenics mav be treated 

 as dasarada. As " tj-pical " ■philoxenus I regard those individuals which have on the 

 hindwings above, besides the submarginal spots, the spot at the apex of the tail, and 

 the large white patch between the discoidal veins, a rather large white mark behind 

 that patch. 



The aberrations polyeiictes and dasarada occur together with typical fhUoxenus 

 at the same elevations and at the same times of the year.

The specimens from North-West India belong partly to this, partly to the next 

 subspecies, or combine the characters of both.

Smaller t\\&\i ijhUoxeniis Gray; the wings are shorter and proportionally broader; 

 the red hairs of the front of the head are rather densely intermingled with black 

 ones; the prothorax is le.ss red; the abrloincn is black underneath, with the edges of 

 the segments red ; the large white patch on the hindwings between the discoidal 

 veins, and the spot at the apex of the tail, are liable to obliteration. 



The darkest specimens resemble P. alcinous menciiis Feld., but can be easily 

 recognised by the iwsition of the submarginal spots of the hindwings. 



In the shape of the hindwings this subspecies is less variable than philoxenus. 

 Tiie males have sometimes the paler ground-colour of the/emrt/es.
