Small, brownish-black ; anterior half of the primaries, excepting 

 the internal edge, fulvous. The black line of the middle, common 

 to the males, is surmounted at its interior extremity with a fulvous 

 point, and divided abruptly at its posterior edge from the adjacent 

 portion of the surface by a linear incision, followed by a depression; 

 between this depression and the edge and nearly in a transverse 

 line, are four small fulvous points, of which the inferior is a little 

 larger and isolated, and the others in a small line. The female 

 has in this place some white and transparent points, varying from 

 six to eight, but the three superior are constant.

Very similar to P. thaumas. Primaries blackish, with a trans- 

 verse row of fulvous spots. The male has only two, of which the 

 interior is divided into two unequal parts ; the black line and dis- 

 tinctive of the sex- form only an oblong point ; it is terminated 

 behind by the lowest of the preceding spots. Between the nerves 

 there are two spaces, of which the scales are elevated in the form 

 of finely striated pencils. Secondaries of a glossy russety brown; 

 under side more dull, traversed by a ray of small pale yellowish 

 spots, obsolete in some specimens.

This species approaches very nearly the P. vitellius Sm. Abb. I, 

 pi. 17. It is also probably the same as lion Fab. Suppl. Ent.

 Ill, pars 1, p. 326, No. 232. Wings, as well as body, blackish ;
