between the lower ini'dian iiervules, one very small, clo-ie to tlie cell, the second 

 larger, beside the anal marking. 



Front of the head with many black liairs ; sides of abdomen more restricted 

 ferruginous red than in P. janaka. 



?. Unknown. 



Hab. Western China (west of Ichang) (1 cJ). 



Mr. Leech'.s collectors did not meet with this insect. 



XV. ILIOXEUS-GROUP, 



Both sexes tailed. The species of this group will probably come in one genus 

 with P. ganibrisius Cram, and fiiscus Goeze.

P. ilioneus Don. and ami/nthm- Boisd. occur together and are certainly only 

 aberrations of the same species. P. dhstrusus Butl. is not distinguishable from 

 amynthor ; Butler, when describing his species, did not compare it with (imi/nthor. 



Specimens which agree with Donovan's figure have the baud of the forewings, 

 the discal yellowish white patch on the hindwings, and the submarginal spots of the 

 underside of the hindwings rather larger than they are in the following aberration : —

The white patcli of the hindwings above extends often beyond the second median 

 nervule; all 'imde, examples have a red anal -spot, \\\e feiwde, besides, one or two 

 submarginal red spots. On the underside, the sulimargiual buff markings of the 

 hindwings and the orange-red spots within them exhibit a great deal of \ariation in 

 respect to the size ; in some males most of the orange-red spots are absent.

Xote. — The scales of the forewings above, esjiecially towards the hind angles, are 

 in the male so much elongated as to render their serial arrangement quite imper-
