This species is said to be allied to P. llneatus, Brullo, but to 

 •differ in its unicolorous inesonolnm and alar nevvures, and in 



its darker antenntc. It is similar 

 to P. U'stacens but is decidedly 

 more nitidulous, smoother, and 

 always paler, v\itb the notauli 

 much deeper and the stigma 

 much darker. There is a c? 

 in the Pusa collection, ^Adlich 

 certainly represents the opposite 

 sex of this species, though the 

 nervelet is wanting and C;imeron 

 has given the barest outline of 

 its facies. This S has the head 

 extremely transverse with the 

 temples practically wanting pos- 

 teriorly, the stigma is very dark 

 red, the wings peculiarly ample, 

 the thorax and abdomen un- 

 usually slender, with the basal segment sublinear, the tarsi are w hite, 

 and the lower basal nervure not much further than the upper from 

 the base of the wing ; all of which points distinguish it from the 

 common P. testaceus and P. ocellaris. A second analogous male is 

 in the Oxford Museum and was taken in Ceylon by Templeton.
