Male. Upperside. Anterior wings crossed by a bright fulvous band

 towards the base and darker at the apex, the dark area narrowing towards 

 the anal angle ; dark rays between the veins from the outer margin to near 

 the cell. 



Underside. Anterior wings with the inner edge of the fulvous band 

 defined by a very zigzag band, more irregular than in P. Excisa ; posterior 

 wings dark chocolate brown, becoming rufous at the base, with a badly defined 

 pale band crossing the middle of the wings beyond the cell, two spots in the 

 cell and a cluster of spots round it, but all much smaller and less regularly 

 placed than in 1'. Excim, in which a regular band of spots crosses the wings a 

 little before the middle. . •' _ ,j.. /
