This species may be recognised by the purple upperside in the 

 male, and the brown upperside with pale blue eentrobasal area to 

 forewing in female; on tlie underside both sexes are silky white, 

 with a small black spot on abdominal margin. My males from 

 Cape York have the dark borders on the upperside more developed 

 and consequently the purple areas more restricted. In my former 

 note I expressed a little doubt as to whether our species was 

 synonymous with P. ilias, Felder, from Amboina; Druce has 

 since shown that our insect is distinct.
