Male. Upperside. Anterior wings differ from the male of P. Cutora, 

 Gray, in the olivaceous green patch being more extended towards the base and 

 consequently less rounded in shai)e, with narrow white incisions between the 

 veins on the outer margin. The Figure of P. Culom in the " Catalogue of 

 Lepidopterous Insects " in the British Museum, Plate X*, represents it without 

 such incisions, and my specimen of it has only two incisions towards the outer 

 angle, which are scarcely visible. 



On the posterior wings the opalescent crimson spots are only two in . 

 number, of more uniform size than the S])ots in P. Cutora, which are three in 

 number, the third spot of P. Cutora towards the middle of the disc being 

 smaller than those nearer the inner margin. 



Underside. The anterior wings do not differ from P. Cutora. On the 

 posterior wings is a row of four pinkish white spots ; the three spots in the 

 middle of the disc are somewhat elongate, subconical, and nearly equal in size ; 

 the fourth spot above the anal angle is minute. In P. Cutora there are also 

 four spots, but they are bright pink in colour, the two spots between the median 

 nervules being nearly uniform in size, but much smaller and less elongate than 

 in P. Cutoriua ; the other two spots on the posterior wings of P. Cutora, 

 towards the inner margin, are small and of equal size. 



Hab. Iquitos (Buckley). 



In the Collections of the late Dr. Staudiuger and Mr. Grose-Smith. 



I have already figured the female of this speeies under the name of P. Mazeppa, and a 

 comparison of my specimens with the pair of P. Ctitorina lent me by Dr. Staudiuger has enabled 

 me to place them together as sexes of the same species.
