Exp. '.Vj inches. 



Tliis female very closely resembles the same sex of 1'. Bolirar, Hew. from 

 which it differs in the following respects. The anterior wings are rather more 

 translucent, and the white incisions on the margin of those wings between the 

 veins are more conspicuous. 



On the UPPERSIDE of the posterior wings the discal patch of stramineous 

 spots is more compact and less irregular, and the veins crossing the patch are 

 white instead of black, the spot above the upper median nervule is more 

 abbreviated both outwardly and inwardly, and the spot between the submedian 

 ner\ure and the inner margin extends over the interspace nearly to the inner 

 margin, and is of more uniform width with the other spots, the spot in the same 

 position in the female of P. Bolivar being more or less obsolete. 



On the UNDERSIDE of the posterior wings the patch of stramineous spots is 

 wider, and the veins crossing it are more narrowly black, the spots forming the 

 patch being thus more compact. 



Plab. Iquitos, Ecuador (Buckley). 



In the Collection of Mr. Grose-Smith. 



The male is imkuowu, I believe, and Mr. Buckley sent only a single specimen of the 

 female; I am not aware of P. Bolivar having been captured in Ecuador, probably the male of 

 P. Mazeppa closely resembles it.
