Imago. — Male. Outer margins of the wings slightly scalloped. Upperside. 

 Both wings blacker than in P. Mena, the markings somewhat of a deeper pale yellow, 

 and brighter yellow on the abdominal margin. Forewing with the cell area and the 

 discal streaks more thickly black-speckled, the discal streak between the medians 

 narrower and entire, those of the upper series differently shaped at their outer end, 

 the outer-discal series of spots different, the lower median spot of this series being 

 very small, the upper three disposed in an incurved series, there being also a fourth 

 upper very small spot, which is not present in P. Mena ; the submarginal row of 

 spots are placed somewhat nearer the margin, and are small, narrow, except the 

 upper which is dentate ; the marginal are not present. Hindwing with the veins 

 and the outer border broadly black ; the latter bearing a submarginal series of eight 

 yellow spots, of which the upper one is small and oval, the next large and conical, 

 the rest decreasing in size ; beyond these is a marginal medial row of small spots. 

 Underside with all the veins and outer border more broadly black, the markings 

 deeper pale yellow on the forewing and brighter yellow on the hindwing. Foreitnng 

 with similarly disposed and shaped, but prominent markings, as on upperside, except 

 that the three upper discal and submarginal series are dentate, those of the lower 

 series being similar, followed by a marginal row of small dentate spots. Hindmng 

 with a prominent series of yellow submarginal spots extending from base of the 

 costal vein to the anal angle, the two between the upper subcostal and the radial 

 broadly dentate, the others oval ; beyond is a marginal row of small spots, of which 

 the upper three are narrow and the lower round ; a discal series of elongated yellow 

 streaks from the upper subcostal to the submedian, of which the two upper and the 

 lowest is incised at the outer end, the other two (between the median veinlets) being 

 short and oval.
