This species has two local forms : — 



(«): P. ascalaphus lioisd., forma typ. [<?,?]. 



S . ^'ery constant, except in the colour of the submarginal spots on the underside 

 of the hindwings, which varies from orange to bluish grey. 



?. Similar to P. polyphonies Boisd. and the ? of 7^ pamriimi alcindm' Oherth., 

 but larger. The submarginal spots of the hindwings above are sometimes partly 

 obsolete.

c?. Dififers from P. ascalaphus Boisd. chiefly in the submarginal streaks on 

 the hindwings above being very short and of a yellowish colour like those of the 

 forewings ; below, the subdiscal blue spots of the hindwings are also shorter than in 

 P. ascalaphus. 



?. One rather worn si)ecimen is known (coll. Staudinger), which differs from 

 that sex of P. asceilajjhus in the forewings exhibiting a Inoad white band, and in 

 the discal area of the hindwings being purer white.

There are two local forms of this insect known to me, one of which is new to 

 science : — 



(«) : P. oenomaus Godart, forma typ. [J,S]. 



Both sexes tailed. I'orewings with a broad yellowish buff band jiarallel to the 

 outer margin ; hindwings in the male black, those of the female with a median 

 yellowish buff band, which is tinged with reddish.
