Expan. 33% inch. Hab. North India. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
This species has been known to me for several years, but until I have had an opportunity of 
examining several specimens I was unwilling to describe it. It is very nearly allied to P. Agestor, but 
differs from it in the colour and form of the posterior wing, and has besides an orange spot at its anal 
angle. The abdomen is spotted with white, not banded as in P. Agestor.

Upprrsipr. Male dark brown. Both wings crossed near the outer margin by 
a band of orange-yellow spots; on the anterior wing round, or nearly so, and eight in 
number; on the posterior wing seven, large and conical, the spot, at the anal angle 
bisected with black. Anterior wing with a spot of the same colour near the costal 
margin beyond the middle.
