Female. Colours above and below of P. Eurijta $ . {Hirce 

 Drury) and therefore possibly only a second form of the 

 ? . : expanse of wings, 3 inches, 4 lines.

I should have supposed this to be the typical female of 

 P. Hirce {Euryta ^ ), were it not for the fact that the 

 oblique band of primaries is rather broader than in that 

 species, whilst the white band of the ordinary female is 

 precisely similar ; it may however very likely be simply a 

 variety ; we have a white-banded female from Andjriz, 

 which agrees, excepting in colours, with the present species, 

 therefore it is possible that a broad-banded male may 

 occur ; if so, it will have to be considered as a local race of 

 P. EuTijta.
