AGETES GHOUP. 



<5 $ . Characters like those of the Glycerion group, the out- 

 line of the wings and venation 

 //-I-/* 10 similar, but the males have the abdo- 

 minal fold in the hind wing well 

 developed, with a well-marked cot- 

 tony scent-organ within. The light- 

 coloured portions of the fore wing 

 anteriorly subhyaline, with hair-like, 

 not normal, scales. 



The typical form alone is found 

 within our limits. In Borneo an 

 allied form, P. strateotes, occurs along

S $ Upperside white. Pore wing : cell crossed by three 

 comparatively broad, oblique black bands, the innermost produced 

 across interspaces 1 and 1 a to the dorsal margin, the next to 

 vein 1, sometimes a little beyond into interspace 1 a, the third to 

 the median vein ; these are followed by a triangular costal black 

 spot above the upper apex of the cell ; a postdiscal oblique band 

 similar to the others that extends from the costa to just above the 

 tornus, where it joins a broad black terminal edging that lies 

 between the apex of the wing and the tornus ; the costal margin 

 edged with a black thread which widens slightly beyond the post- 

 discal band. The white ground-colour in the anterior half of the 

 cell, beyond the apex of the latter to the postdiscal black band, 

 and in the area between the postdiscal and terminal bands, is 

 hyaline with a greenish-yellow tinge. Hind wing : a spot at the 

 tornal angle, the anal lobe, tail and terminal margin black ; above 

 the tornal spot is a short, comparatively broad, red band edged 

 anteriorly by a fine black line that joins the spot to the black on 

 the anal lobe ; superposed on the black of the terminal margin 

 there are some obscure white scalings ; a triangular transverse 

 subterminal white spot in interspace 3 and occasionally a sub- 

 terminal short white line in interspace 4 ; also the anterior edge 

 of the tail at base is touched with white. Seen by transparency 

 from the underside are two convergent transverse black bands, the 

 outer one of which is traversed by short transverse lines of red 

 in interspaces 2, 6, 7 and 8. Underside similar ; hind wing with 

 the addition of the two black bands mentioned above, which 

 coalesce above the tornal area. Antennae, head, thorax and
