(Pcwiphila bambusce, Moore, P.Z.S., p. 691, t. 45, fig. 11, 

 1878; Pamphila pythias, Mab. Pet. Nov., ii., 234, 1878; Teli- 

 cota bambusce, Dist. Rhop. Malay., p. 382, n. 2, t. 35, fig. 12, 

 1882-6.) 



Male and female, 35-40 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, 

 legs, and abdomen as in Augias. Forewings elongate-trian- 

 gular, termen gently bowed, oblique; color, markings, and 

 stigma as in Augias, excepting that the transverse band of 

 five spots is more abbreviated and have only the lower edges 

 continued towards termen, but not near reaching it. Hind- 

 wings with termen distinctly sinuate before anal angle ; color, 

 markings, and cilia as in Augias. Underside of both wings 

 as in Augias, excepting that the color of hindwings is gene- 

 rally bright orange-yellow, and in the female before us all 

 markings are obliterated and slightly greenish tinged. 



This species is closely allied to Augias, but apart from its 

 larger size and more brilliant coloring of under side it can easily 

 be distinguished from that species by the abruptions of orange 

 transverse band of forewings. This character is more pro- 

 nounced in the Indian and Indo-Malayan specimens before us, 

 those from Australia showing a greater tendency to be con- 

 tinued as a fine streak along veins to termen. 



Sydney, New South Wales; Mackay, Townsville, and Bris- 

 bane, Queensland ; in November and December ; also from 

 India and the Malay Archipelago.
