Nearest allied to P. gola. Differs from it on both sides in the 

 narrower discal band of the forewing, the band being also disconnected 

 from the costal spots; the band of the hindwing is also narrower."

 I believe to be this species from Rangoon.

"Differs from typical Java specimens of P. augias, Linn, in its much

 of the discal band on the forewing and the entire discal band on the 

 hindwing.
