3IuJc. Upperside. Eesembles P. WaUacci, Hew., but with the discal 

 band of green spots on the anterior wings narrower, especially the two spots 

 from the lowest median nervule to the inner margin, the latter of which is 

 almost obsolete ; the submarginal band of small spots on those wings of 

 P. WaUacci is also obsolete, or represented only by one or two spots towards 

 the apex ; on the posterior wings the green spot within the cell of P. WaUacci 

 is absent, and the spot above it is more restricted. 



Underside. Anterior wings as on the upperside, but the submarginal band 

 of spots is well defined, the space between it and the discal band, above the 

 middle median nervule, being pale violaceous, in which is a series of dark 

 markings on the outer side of the spots in the discal l)and, and tliere is also a 

 series of pale spots on the costal margin above the spots in the cell. 



On the posterior wings the green spot within the cell of V. WaUacci is 

 represented by a small spot, above which, nearer the base, is a large gi-een spot 

 reaching to the costal margin and divided by the nervure, and the third green 

 spot of the upper side is larger ; the rest of the wings differ little from P. WaUacci. 



Hab. New Britain and New Ireland. 



The female resembles the male, but is larger.
