$. Exp. al. 60 mm. Upperside dull creamy white ; not tinged 

 with greenish, as in the male. Fore-wing with a fuscous shade 

 along the costa, filling the space between the costa and the subcostal 

 vein at the base, and for rather more than half the length of the 

 cell. This shade is continued distally as a narrowing line along the 

 costa as far as the apex, where it fuses with a fuscous apical patch, 

 small in extent and prolonged as a narrow tapering band along 

 the posterior margin as far as the first branch of the median vein. 

 A few fuscous scales on the lower discocellular vein. Hind-wing

immaculate. Anal angle slightly prolonged. The third branch of 

 the subcostal in the fore-wing appears to be absent. 



Underside : fore-wing dull white, apex and costa pale greyish 

 ochreous. Hind-wing pale ochreous with a slight pinkish shade; 

 a fuscous spot 1-2 mm. in diameter, close to the lower discocellular 

 vein, in the interspace between the third median branch and the 

 radial. The costa edged with deep yellow; a minute spot of the 

 same at the root of the subcostal vein. 



The male of P. janeta is easily distinguishable from the 

 male of P. sevata by the character and distribution of the 

 scent-scales. These in P. janeta are on an average more 

 than half as long again as in P. sevata. Moreover, in P. sevata 

 the mealy streaks formed by these scales fuse along the
