As I must treat P. arid tirose Smitli as a subspecies oi'laurchua, there are two 

 geograjiliieal races of this insect known : — 



(a) : P. laarchus (iodm. & Salv., forma typ. [(?,?]. 



d. The forewings have an oblique subapical white band above and lielow : 

 towards the outer third of the inner margin there stands a cloud of white scales or 

 a rather large patch ; a second white patch is found in mauy specimens on the lower 

 median nervule ; and in one of my examples these two markings are merged 

 together and form a band which corresponds to the posterior part of the band of 

 P. ivoodfordi Godm. & Salv. The anal orange spot is often absent. 



Below, the hindwings have, besides the large anal mark, from to 4 submarainal 

 spots; on the disc there is often a series of bluish spots, inside which stand in main- 

 individuals some wliitish markings; of the latter those between the subcostal and 

 lower discoidal veins are often rather large and lunate. 



?. On the upperside, the hindwings have sometimes an orange submarginal 

 spot lietween tlie lower median nervules ; below, they have always a complete series 

 of submarginal markings, which vary, however, much, in size.

One specimen is known. It differs from P. lajirchus Godm. & Salv. in the much 

 smaller subapical spots of the forewings, and in the two complete series of discal 

 spots on the underside of the hindwings. 



As the subapical spots of the forewings are not constant in size in P. laarchus, 

 and as both the blue and the whitish spots of the hindwings beneath are often ]iartly 

 well marked in that species, I cannot accept P. arid as a distinct species.

(?. Differs from P. laarchus (iodm. & Salv. especially in the forewings having 

 four- white .spots posteriorly close to the outer margin, besides the subapical white 

 band, and in the band of the hindwings being as narrow as in P. hridt/ei jSIathew. 



Some specimens have on the upperside of the hindwings a small, ochraceous, 

 submarginal spot between the lower median nervules ; below, the series of submarginal 

 spots is always comi)lete, but the spots are often very feebly marked. 



?. Similar to the m«/e; the marginal .spots to the forewings and the submarginal 

 markings to the under surface of the hindwings are rather larger ; above, the hind- 

 wings have three submarginal spots in my single example.
