Race chiron, Wall. 3 $ . Closely resembles in colour and in 

 the disposition of the markings P. eurypylus, races jason and axion, 

 more especially the latter, but on the upperside the anterior mark- 

 ings are all strongly tinged with yellow and the spots or patches 

 that compose the discal band on both fore and hind wing are well- 

 separated one from the other ; on the hind wing, moreover, the 

 apical spot of the subterminal series is invariably white, not pale 

 green like the other spots of the series, and is very often elongate 

 and diffuse. Underside : fore wing very similar to that of aa-ion. 

 Hind wing : with the following silvery white markings : a mode- 

 rately broad basal band reaches from costa across the wing and along 

 the dorsum to the tornal angle, broad elongate streaks in the cell 

 and in interspaces 2 and 3, a small spot at base of interspace 4, 

 an inwardly conical larger elongate spot at base of 6, a very large 

 quadrate spot in 7, and an elongate spot like that in 6 in interspace 

 8 but outwardly not inwardly conical, interior to the two latter 

 spots are two broad lunular spots in interspaces 7 and 8 ; all the 

 anteriorly basal markings are strongly tinged with silky yellow ; 

 on the outer half of the wing there is a postdiscal series of 

 orange-yellow and a subterminal complete series of silvery white 

 spots, the upper two of which have further short narrow similarly- 

 coloured streaks below them in the interspaces. Antenna?, head 

 and thorax black, the thorax with dark greyish pubescence, abdomen 

 brownish-black ; beneath and the abdomen laterally marked and 

 streaked with white. 



Exp. $ $ 86-100 mm. (3-40-3-94").
