Not\vith>lan(lii]g iu being tailed as P. deiplwbiw \.., P. delpylus Feld. is evidently 

 more closely allied to P. deipliontes Feld. than to the other species, at least in the 

 iitdle. Of the female only one specimen (the type) is known, and this type-specimen 

 comes so close to the female of P. deiphobus I., that I have some doubt if it is the 

 jiroper female of P. deipylus. Staudinger's collector did not succeed in ])roouring 

 this sex in Waigeu. 



i . Upperside: almost exactly the same as in P. de)ijhoitU'.s Feld. 



Underside : hiudwings, with the submarginal sjiots standing closer lo llu- margin, 

 especially that behind the costa, than in deiphoiUes Feld. 



?. Felder's type differs from the female of P. deiphohns L. in the darker 

 fore-ivhigs and in the very small white cellular spot of the hindwings. All the other 

 characters which Felder mentions in his long description apply to both P. ileipylus 

 Feld. and P. deipholms L.

Hindwings with a short tooth instead of a tail in either sex. Marginal inter- 

 nervular fringe of the wings, especially of the anterior ones, more extended white 

 than in P. deipfwlncs L. 



J. The grev streaks of the forewings above and beneath stand closer to the 

 margin than in P. deiphobus ; the hindwings have above a whitish blue band com- 

 posed of internervular streaks which are much broader than in that species. Some 

 Batjan males in my collection have a feeble basal red patch on the forewings abo\e. 

 Beneath, the spots in the marginal region of the hindwings are as variable as in 

 P. deiphohus I>. 



?. Upperside: forewings, with the basal red patch ^ometinles exceedingly 

 feeble. On the hindwings there is near the anterior angle a patch of blue scales, 

 which is more consjiicnous and constant than in P. deiphobus L. ; the marginal spots 

 are rather large.
