1865.] MR. A. G. BUTLER ON NEW DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 431 
Underside—ground-colour in the anterior wings as above ; in the 
posterior a little brighter. Anterior wings with black hind margin ; 
a greyish elongate triangular band, margined with black and sprinkled 
with yellow scales, its point towards the anal angle, a little way from 
and nearly parallel to the hind margin; the rest of the wing as 
above, except that all the bands are intersected by the nervules, 
which are yellow. Posterior wings—a bright orange lunule above 
the anal ocellus; an additional shorter black band outside and 
parallel to the central band ; an additional black line above the black 
margin to the apical sinuation. Tail tipped with white ; the cloudy 
spot above the tail only marked by a scattering of black scales ; the 
rest of the characters as above. Body—prothorax yellow; meso- 
thorax and metathorax grey ; abdomen cream-coloured, with a yel- 
low band along its outer margin. 
Hab. Syria. 
This species, taken by Mr. B. Lowne at Damascus, is closely allied 
to P. podalirius of Europe, but differs from it in having the posterior 
wings and tails proportionally much longer, the orange spot above 
the ocellus barely indicated on the upperside, the blue lunules 
much larger. On the underside the orange band crossing the wings 
between the two centre bands is wanting ; the black band between 
the hind margin and the centre bands is also wanting ; and the en- 
tire insect is smaller and not so highly coloured. 
2. Preris GLAUCE. (Pl. XXV. fig. 2.) 
Male. Upperside—anterior wing, basal half white, apical half 
deep brown, inner edge deeply indented ; the base and the end of 
the cell deep brown. Posterior wing white, with broad black outer 
margin ; base deep brown. Body black. 
Underside—anterior wing deep brown; end of the cell, median 
nervure, base of submedian nervure and of the second and third 
median nervules sprinkled with white scales ; a few white scales be- 
tween the subcostal nervules near the apex, and between the third 
median nervule and the submedian nervure near the anal angle. 
Posterior wing rich yellow; base sprinkled with black scales ; margin 
deep brown ; a few yellow scales at the base ; a broad crimson dash 
just below the basal portion of the anterior margin ; six deep-brown 
hastate spots enclosing yellow spots along the hind margin. Body— 
head grey; thorax yellow, sprinkled with black ; abdomen pale brown. 
Female unknown. 
Hab. Borneo. 
. Allied to P. belisama (Java); but has a broader apical band to 
the anterior wing on the upperside, and a broader margin to the 
posterior wing. On the underside the apical row of yellow spots in 
the anterior wing is only represented by a few white scales ; in the 
posterior wing the crimson dash near the base is much broader, and 
the marginal row of spots much blacker and broader.
