continued posteriorly by another similar spot in the interspace 
between the subcostals. From the posterior extremity of the latter 
spot a fuscous band passes across the wing as far as the interspace 
between the median and submedian veins, half-way across which it 
terminates. This band is of irregular width and runs generally 
parallel with the margin of the wing, about half-way between the 
cell and border. The veins are more richly powdered with fuscous 
scales than in the fore-wing, and the marginal spots are more 
preminent, all but that on the submedian being linear, like most of 
those on the upper surface. The fuscous powdering is more strongly 
marked on the third median branch than elsewhere, and is continued 
inwards along two-thirds of the posterior area of the cell as a definite 
dark streak. There is a rudimentary light fuscous spot in the 
interspace between the costal vein and the cell, a little internal to 
the origin of the first subcostal. 
In the Hope Collection, Oxford. This form appears to 
be quite distinct from P. simana, Hoptt, and P. liana, 
Grose Smith. On the whole it most resembles the dry- 
season phase of the latter; but the absence of veining on 
the upper surface, and the much paler costal margin in 
P. wenatus f , together with the well-developed apical dark 
patch and the dark marginal spots, seem to be distinctive.
