Wings above dark ocbraceous ; anterior wings with the neuration, a broad obhque discal fascia,— 

 commencing at end of cell where it is broadest and ending at submedian nervure,— and a series of outer 

 marginal more or less elongate spots placed between the nervules,— of which the two uppermost are longest 

 and the third and fourth shortest,— black ; the discal fascia has its central area paler iu hue ; posterior 

 wings with the costal and basal areas,— excluding cell,— a broad scalloped outer marginal fascia widenmg 

 towards anal angle, abdominal area and the neuration black ; fringe of both wings greyish ochraceous. 

 Anterior wings beneath as above, but the black discal fascia shorter, and the outer marginal spots more or 

 less obsolete ; posterior wings beneath with only traces of the black markings above. Body above fuscous, 

 beneath greyish-ochraceous ; legs dark ochraceous. 



Exp. wings, 30 to 33 millim.

Mr. Moore thus diagnoses his species :— " Allied to P. augias, Linn., from typical Java specimens 

 of which it differs in its somewhat broader and less pointed wings. Markings above similar, but more 

 defined, the borders of the wings blacker, the basal yellow streak on hind wing confined to a terminal spot 

 at the end of the cell, and the abdominal border black. On the underside the markings are also more 

 clearly defined and the interspaces blacker." 



Exp. wings, " <? If, 2 1| inch." 



H.U3.— Continental India; Calcutta (Frith & Atkinson— colls. Moore & Staud.).— Malay Peninsula; 

 Johore (coll. Stand.). 



According to Dr. Atkinson, the larva of this species " feeds on the bamboo."* 

 The figure is taken from a specimen captured at Johore, and contained in the collection 

 of Dr. Staudinger.
