The submargiual red markings on the underside of the hindwings, and also the 

 red spots at the base of the wings beneath, vary rather much in size. The black 

 basal area of the hindwings of the ? extends above usually to the subcostal nervule ; 

 in one ?, however, this area is more restricted anteriorlv, the huffish band thus bein;,' 

 broader than it normall}' is. The submargiual red lunules, which are i)resent on both 

 sides of the hindwings in the ? , are partly feebly indicated above in some of my nudes.

The female mimics P. liris Godart. The nude from ]Moa Island agrees best 

 with typical oenoriiaus ; it is rather small and has the hindwings comparatively 

 narrow; the female iiom Moa may turn out to be different from typical oenomcms.

c?. The same as P. oenomaus Godart ; the band of the forewings above is 

 slightly paler, and between the median nervules faintly narrower, than in most 

 oenomaus Godart. The red spots at the base of the hindwings beneath are rather 

 restricted, and the submargiual lunules are rather small. 



? . Band of the hindwings verj' narrow on either side and almost as red as the 

 submargiual lunules ; this band is interrupted just before the cell, and the antecellular 

 part is in one specimen very much reduced.

A third female in my collection beai's the locality " Timor Laut," which is 

 probably wrong. This came from Staudinger, and was most likelv' wrongly labelled 

 here at Tring.
