According to Mr. Swinhoe this species settles upon hedges, and 

 has a stately, sailing flight (P. Z. S. 1866, p. 359). Capt. Lang 

 describes the female (Ent. Month. Mag. i. p. 153) as frequenting 

 woods and orchards, affecting the shade of the trees. 



The type and a second specimen of P. Nerina, and the type of 

 P. Avia (P. Jacintha, Drury) are in the Banksian Collection. P. Pe- 

 rimele scarcely differs from P. Velleda, Cr. : we have the latter from 

 the East Indies (obtained at Mr. Lee's sale) ; the typical P. Perimele 

 seems to have come from Java.
