d Upperside black, irrorated with dark green scales, which 

 on the outer portion of the fore wing coalesce and form an incom- 

 plete postdiscal narrow hand more erect than the subterminal 

 similar band on the fore wing of P. polyctor. Hind wing : the 

 irroration of dark green scales does not extend to the costal 

 margin and is interrupted posteriorly by a broad postdiscal area, 

 on both sides of which the green scales coalesce to form narrow 

 diffuse hands ; a conspicuous upper discal shining blue patch 

 occupies the base of interspace 4 and outer portions of inter- 

 spaces 5 and 6 ; this patch is variable in size, and in many 

 specimens extends narrowly below and above into interspaces 3 

 and 7 respectively, its outer margin is uneven, its inner margin 

 evenly arched ; a prominent claret-red largely black-centred 

 ocellus at the tornal angle, its' inner margin with a transverse 

 short violet-blue superposed line ; in many specimens an obscure 

 claret-red subterminal lunule in interspace 7. Underside opaque 

 black ; bases of both fore and hind wings, up to basal half of cell 

 in fore and up to apex of cell in hind wing, with an irroration of 

 yellowish scales ; also present more obscurely on the subterminal area 

 in both wings. Tore wing with a very broad elongate triangular 

 pale area that does not extend to the termen, formed of inter- 

 nervular broad very pale ochraceous-white streaks, short near the 

 tornus, gradually longer up to the costa. Hind wing : a prom- 

 inent subterminal series of oc-hraceous-red lunules traversed by 

 short violet-blue lines; in interspaces 1,2, and. sometimes in 3, 

 these lunules are formed into more or less complete largely black-
