wn'j^le iirorated with whitish scales in its upper part, followed between the 

 veins by two patches of blue scales ; clustered round the end of the cell is a 

 liand of contiguous greenish-white spots which rather broadly invade the end of 

 the coll ; the spot between the two uppermost median nervules is elongated 

 outwardly and acuminate. Cilia whitish-red. 



Underside. Anterior wings with a large white patch or band of spots 

 clustered round the end of the cell, a lunulate patch of white scales towards 

 the end of the cell, and another large patch between the veins towards the 

 outer angle. Posterior wings resemble those of the male, but the row of grey 

 scales outside the cell is developed into a white liand of seven spots or lunules 

 crossing the middle of the wings, but not invading the cell, those at the end of 

 the cell being the largest and somewhat indenti'd outwardly. Cilia as on the 

 upper side.

Closely allied to P. jEqetis and P. Ormeiius, the male being nearest to the former species 

 and the female to two of the forms of the latter, of which I have specimens from Fergusson and 

 Kiviwini Islands. Tlie female also resembles the figure of the same sex of P. Adrasius (Wallace), 

 from Banda, figured in the Transactions of the Liuueau Society, Vol. XXV., 1867, Plate IV., 

 Fig. 1., in the submargiual row of rr<l hnuiles on thi' posterior wings, though in other respects 

 the differences are considerable.
