  This 
  species 
  is 
  most 
  nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  P. 
  Choridamas 
  (Boisduval), 
  

   and 
  is 
  especially 
  interesting 
  from 
  the 
  close 
  resemblance 
  which 
  it 
  

   bears 
  to 
  HeUcon'ia 
  Clijtia. 
  

  

  The 
  first 
  specimen 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  was 
  added 
  to 
  my 
  collec- 
  

   tion 
  by 
  the 
  liberality 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Charles 
  Simm, 
  of 
  the 
  Royal 
  En- 
  

   gineers, 
  who 
  brought 
  it 
  from 
  Surinam 
  ; 
  others 
  have 
  since 
  been 
  

   sent 
  home 
  by 
  Messrs. 
  Bates 
  and 
  Wallace, 
  from 
  the 
  River 
  Amazon. 
  

   Mr. 
  Bates 
  states 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  found 
  " 
  at 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  water 
  in 
  the 
  

   Lake 
  of 
  Ega, 
  when 
  the 
  river 
  is 
  falling."

  In

  collection 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Saunders. 
  

  

  Nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  P. 
  Trioims, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  

   of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wing, 
  and 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  spots 
  on 
  both 
  wings 
  much 
  

   nearer 
  to 
  the 
  outer 
  margin, 
  

  

  M. 
  Lacordaire, 
  speaking 
  of 
  P. 
  Triopas, 
  says 
  that 
  it 
  flies 
  low 
  

   and 
  near 
  the 
  ground, 
  having 
  probably 
  met 
  with 
  the 
  female 
  only. 
  

   Mr, 
  Bates 
  tells 
  me 
  that 
  "the 
  male 
  flies 
  rather 
  high 
  in 
  pathways 
  or 
  

   thinned 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  deep 
  forest, 
  but 
  that 
  the 
  female 
  flies 
  low 
  over 
  

   the 
  fallen 
  leaves 
  and 
  low 
  plants,"
