with the ground-colour paler, the spots as above, the inner margin below 

 the submedian nervure ochreous, with two obscure ochreous diffused spots 

 placed one above the other near the base of the wing in the submedian 

 interspace. Hindwing with the colour of the ground apparently reversed, 

 being orange, leaving a broad irregular black outer margin ; a large black 

 spot at the end of the cell, and a series of eight black spots placed one in 

 each interspace (except the uppermost and lowest interspaces, which have 

 two each) round the cell. Head black, marked with whitish at the base 

 of the antennae. Antennae with the shaft above and club entirely, except 

 the tip, creamy-white, the shaft below and tip of club black. Palpi 

 whitish, marked anteriorly with three black lines, which meet at the apex. 

 Thorax clothed above with long ferruginous setae. Abdomen black, ringed 

 with orange. Female. Differs only from the male in being larger.

P. flavocincta is the largest species of the genus described from India. 

 It is most nearly allied to P. pulomaya, Moore, and P. sumitra, Moore ; but 

 differs from both in the very large size of the orange spots on the hind- 

 wing on the upperside, these spots on the underside coalescing and occupy- 

 ing the greater portion of the wing, thus reducing the black ground- 

 colour of the upperside to a band on the outer margin and to nine discal 

 spots ; in the two species just mentioned there is no tendency to this 

 feature, the orange spots being all comparatively small and well- separated, 

 and the base of the wing is black. The cilia in P. flavocincta are also very 

 much broader, and orange throughout, except the bases of those cilia at 

 the termination of the veins on the hindwing, which are black. 



Described from a pair in the collection of Mr. A. V. Knyvett and a 

 single male in that of Mr. Otto Moller, all of which were obtained near 

 Buxa, Bhutan." (de Niceville, I. c.)

Description : Male. Upperside, forewing dark brown, the basal 

 half of the wing clothed with ochreous-yellow scales ; a large square 

 spot at the end of the discoidal cell, a rather smaller one below it in the 

 first median interspace, a small one placed outwardly between these 

 two spots in the second median interspace, two still smaller spots placed 

 inwardly obliquely in the submedian interspace below the outer angle 

 of the second spot, the lower one sometimes wanting, five small sub-
