348 Mr. E. Trimen's descriptions of new 



six or seven red spots in discal row. Under side : 

 Glossy dark greenish bronze, with transverse fuscous 

 striae corresponding in position with the black portions 

 of the upper side ; a discal row of small fuscous rings 

 (of which the third from the costa of fore wing is filled 

 with white). Fore wing: Two lower red spots of discal 

 row present, but much paler and less defined than on 

 upper side. Hind wing : Basal area crossed by three or 

 four much broken irregular fuscous striae. Cilia, above 

 fuscous, with white internervular markings ; beneath 

 much more obscure, especially in hind wing. 



This southern representative of P. Amestris is readily 

 separable by (1) its larger size, (2) its conspicuous basal 

 blue irroration, (3) the constancy and large development 

 of the inner discal blue band, (4) the less irregular discal 

 row of red spots, (5) the absence of red striae in dis- 

 coidal cell of fore wing, and (6) the uniform dark bronzy- 

 green tint of the under side, without any representation 

 of the red spots of the upper side, except near the inner 

 margin of the fore wing.
