Differs from militaris in the outer area of the fore wing having 

 the pale blue maculate bands more or less reduced and obscure ; 

 hind wing with the outer area deep purple, with irregularly sinu- 

 ous inner edge, with a short yellow band on it from inner margin 

 to vein 2, sometimes continued towards costa as indistinct pale 

 blue spots with yellow specks on their edges, or in the form lunu- 

 lata as a broken waved yellow band. 



The form andersoni, from Mergui, has the pale markings on 

 outer area of fore wing almost obsolete ; the dark basal markings 

 reduced or almost obsolete ; hind wing with the basa] third and 

 spots at end of cell much reduced ; the yellow spots on outer area 

 wanting or very small.

 Euschema subrepleta, Wlk. Cat. ii, p. 406 ; C. fy S. no. 3090. 



Differs from militaris in being deeper orange ; fore wing 

 with the lower basal fascia conjoined to the antemedial band and 

 touching the outer purple area. Hind wing with the discocellular 

 spot conjoined to the spot below cell ; the postmedial band more 

 strongly developed, also the submarginal spots, which are triangular 

 and more regular ; the marginal lunules large.

Differs from bellonaria in the head, thorax, and abdomen being 

 purple with yellow bands. Fore wing purple, with two narrow 

 basal yellow fasciae and a spot in interno-median interspace ; a pale 

 blue spot in cell and the antemedial oblique band blue. Hind wing 

 with the yellow markings reduced to an oblique subbasalband and 

 medial, postmedial, and submarginal series of spots. 



The form bellissima has the yellow markings rather more deve- 

 loped than in typical prunicolor.
