Dr. Melichar (supra) has included the Celebesian P. inclyta. 

 Walk., as a synonym of this species. This is incorrect ; the 

 Celebesian insect, apart from its different markings, may be dis- 

 tinguished by the distinct falcate apices of the tegmina, a character 

 long since pointed out by Wallace as appertaining to Celebesian 

 Rhopalocera. Melichar's figure also does not apply to AValker's 

 typical form of the species.
