The markings in these two forms are very similar to 

 those in P. alhisteUarla, Walker; tlie latter is a very com- 

 mon species in the Khasia Hills, and I have a long series 

 in my own collection. They are wonderfully uniform in 

 colour and correspond exactly with the typo, and with 

 an example from Nepal in this museum, and the three 

 forms seem to me to be quite distinct from each other.
