and are still of considerable breadth at the inner margin of the wing. The other 

 bands of the forewings are also broad; the fourth reaches the median vein. On the 

 bindwings the anal and the submarginal black spots are confluent with the broad 

 black lx)rder of the wing. 



((/■) : ab. loc. atratiis ab. nov. 



The marginal and submarginal black band to the forewings, as well as the black 

 border of the hindwings, are broader than in euphrates; the hiudwings have on the 

 upperside a black streak, as it is present in decolor ab. tigri^ ; the black as well as 

 the orange markings in the anal region of the underside of the hindwings are larger 

 and of a deeper colour, and the black dorsal stripe of the abdomen is broader in both sexes.

Tliougli this species is very variable, and comes often rather close to tyj'ical 

 r. antiph<Ues Cram., I have not seen any examples in which the discal black 

 markings on the upperside of the liindwings are entirely obliterated. The anal 

 ocbreous spot on the hindwings is alwaj's of a much deeper colour than in any race 

 of P. antiphaies. I have not seen examples from the Nicobar Islands, nor is 

 P. antiphaies recorded from there.

Upperside. Forewings : marginal black band rather narrow, not reaching the 

 submedian vein, separated from the submarginal black baud, which stops usually 

 at the second median nervule or extends a little beyond it. In' means of a white 

 macular band, which is densely suffused with black between the lower discal and 

 the middle median veins, so that the marginal and submarginal black bands appear 

 to be more or less merged together posteriorly. The submarginal black band is 

 broad at the costal margin, strongly and almost e\enly narrowed behind, and concave 

 at its discal side ; in some specimens it is notched in the cellule formed by the 

 lower subcostal and upper discoidal veins. Discoidal cell with five black streaks, 

 of whicli the apical one reaches to the origin of the second di.scoidal nervule, while 

 the others reach the median ncrvure or not; none o' the streaks exlend beyond the 

 cell; they are partly dusted with white .scales posteriorly; the subbasal streak is 

 very feeble. 



Hindwings: the black border is of a very deep colour; at the upper median 

 nervule it extends not rpiite half-way from the outer margin to the cell ; anteriorly 

 it becomes gradually narrower, includes a submarginal white lunule between the two 

 upper discoidal veins, and is often interrupted at the subcostal nervule; the black
