This species has a peculiar range; it flies in the large Sunda Islands, Palawan, 

 jMalay Peninsula, Tenasseriui, and .Siain, and appears again, as a slightly difl'erent 

 local form, in South India ; Doubleday records it from Burma, fielder fi-om North 

 India, but these localities are doubtless erroneous ; we have no authentic record of 

 the insect from Bm'ma, North India, Bengal, Central Provinces, etc. 



(a) : P. demolion Cram., forma typ. [cJ, ? , metam.]. 



In a female ft-om Nias there are on the underside of the forewings some sub- 

 marginal spots posteriorly which form a kind of ill-defined narrow band, reminding 

 one of the corresponding spots of P. gigon P'eld. Sometimes there are two spots 

 between the fourth and fifth subcostal veins of the forewings instead of one.

The posterior spots of the macular band of the forewings are distinctly separated 

 from one another. The band of the hindwings stands farther from the base than in 

 P. deiiwlion Cram. ; in a Nias specimen of the latter the band has, however, the sanir 

 position as in certain P. demolion liomedon jNIoore. The hairs of the forewings are 

 sometimes arranged in patches, almost as in P. idysses L., hin.nor Cram., jierant/i it ■< 

 Fabr., etc.

Felder, Verh. z. h. Ges. Wien p. 318. n. 392 (1864), records P. demotion from 

 Ceylon; if P. demotion really occurs there, the specimens belong midoubtedly to 

 P. demolion liomedon Jloore.
