Differs fi-om P.fuscus capdiwus Westw. in being usually larger and in ha\ing 

 the baud of the hindwings proportionally narrower in the middle, and broader from 

 behind the upper median nervule. 



The band of the forewings, which is sometimes obliterated in the middle, varii^s 

 in shape, as does that of P. fuscus cry)(Ml6MS Westw. Besides the anal orange spot, 

 whicli is seldom obsolete on the upperside, there are a number (1 to 4) of rather feeble 

 submarginal spots; below, the submarginal spots are rather large, as in many i'./n.scM.s 

 capaneus ; the white spots vary in number from 3 to 7 : the second to fourth spots 

 are, as in the other races of P. fuscus Goeze, the largest, but remain in xenophUus 

 rather small, being mostly much broader (transversely) than long.

Comes very close to certain I'ather small examples of P. fascus Goeze whicli 



have a comparatively lai"ge white area to the hindwings; it differs chiefiv in that area 



being narrower at the costal margin, and in the white spot near the hinder angle 



of the forewings on the underside being always very small. 



The Bornean examples, which may represent a separate subspecies, have the 

 white spots on the underside of the hindwings, esjiecially the three posterior ones, 

 larger, at least in the four specimens in my collection. In the Andaman individuals 

 the blue spots on the underside of the hindwings are rather large; in Felder's type 

 these spot.s are all marked, but are small.

 \\'ith P. helenas L. this insect has nothing to do, e.specially because the outer 

 region of the upperside of the forewings is covered with dense hairs in that species. 

 It bears a rather close resemblance to P. chaon Westw., from which it is, however, 

 distinguished inter alia by the abdomen having a continuous white line at each side 

 below, whereas in P. chion (and P. iiephelus Boisd.) there is a row of separate while 

 dots situated at the hind edges of the segments, and by the presence of blue spots 

 on the underside of the liindwings.

Distinguishaljle from P. fuscus and its races by the white area of hindwings 

 being much broader between the upper median nervule and the abdominal margin 

 of the wing than in those insects. 



In the riiale the forewings are on the u]iperside devoid of a band or of spots 

 replacing it ; on the imderside they have often a seri(-s of while spots which become
