 (which is not semi-transparent) at the extremity of the cell. Palpi and body 

 beneath dark yellowish green.

Hab. Bengal." (Moore. 1. c. in P. Z. S., 1865). 



Recorded from Murree, Thundiani and Hassan Abdul, N.-W. India 

 (Butler] ; from Kangra District, N.-W. Himalayas (Moore} ; and from 

 Sikkim (Elwes). 



Mr. Elwes treats this species as synonymous with P. bada. He states 

 he has specimens from Shanghai, Japan, Kashmir, Mandi and Sikkim which 

 agree very well. They may be known by the nearly straight line of four 

 transparent spots on the hindwing, and the curved discal series of six or 

 sometimes only five spots on the forewing, as well as two, one or both of 

 which are sometimes wanting, in the cell. Typical P. bada (of which he has 

 specimens from Cachar, Bombay, Poona, Sikkim and Ceylon) is distin- 

 guished by the less conspicuous markings on the hindwing, usually smaller 

 size, and absence of the two spots in the cell. But he is not sure that these 

 characters are constant. 



According to Mr. Butler (P. Z. S., 1886, p. 377) P. mangala has the 

 lowest spot on the primaries, larger and more quadrate than in bada or bevani, 

 and also has the row of spots on the secondaries larger and more nearly in 

 line.
