while' marginal spots of the hiudwings above are hirge in both sjieciinens ; below 

 they are still larger and of a bufBsli eolour ; the submarginiil red Innules are also 

 large, and all joined to the marginal spots.

 Tliis is the rejiresentative species of P. paris L. in the greater Sunda Islands. 



There are three local forms known ; —

The green line of the forewings is a little too broad in Horsfield's figure ; it is 

 mostly very thin and gradually disapjjears anteriorly. The blue pateh of the hind- 

 wings is variable in size, being sometimes extended into the cell, often not ; occasion- 

 ally it occupies about a quarter of the cell. The submarginal spots of the underside 

 of the hindwings are also variable ; their reddish colour is liable to obliteration. 



Hah. East .Java (.5 6). 



According to Fruhstorfer (Lc.) this race with the band on the forewings is confined 

 to Eastern Java, but Hagen {L.c.) says that one of his Sumatra specimens has a band.

Larger than P. arjuna ; the patch of the hindwings is less convex interiorly, the 

 anal ocellus is larger, and the red colour of some of the submarginal spots of the 

 hindwings below is reduced in e.xteni ; the bine bnmles are consiiicuon.s. Forewings 

 without band. 



I cannot see that there is any difference between Fclder's type and Sumatran 

 specimens important enough to be noted, .-:o that Nicc'ville's iliscoriliii must sink 

 as a synonym.

This aberration is much smaller than kunw, and differs horn arjund Horsf. only 

 in the absence of the band from the forewings.
