Fore wing long, narrow, hind margin lengthened ; first subcostal 

 branch emitted at one fourth before end of the cell and touchiua: the 

 costal near its end, second branch from immediately before end of 

 the cell ; upper discocellular bent below the lower radial, producing 

 a short discoidal spur within the cell from the angle, lower disco- 

 cellular slender at its upper end ; cell long and narrow. Hind wing 

 somewhat elongated, exterior margin very convex, abdominal margin 

 short, costal vein arched from the base and extending along edge of 

 the costa ; cell very long and narrow. Male with two spatula- 

 shaped scent-pouches, one (the largest) being on the lower median 

 vein, the other (about one fourth its size) on the submedian vein, 

 near their ends, from which innumerable short white filaments 

 project between the scales, each pouch showing on the underside 

 by a slender swelling of the veins at that part. Antennae with 

 lengthened slender tip. Apical joint of the palpi short, small, pilose. 

 Larva with two pairs of fleshy filaments.

Larger than typical P. aglea ; the markings broader and larger, 

 and like those in Caduga melaneus : on the fore wing the discoidal 

 streak broadly occupies the cell, and ,that beneath the cell has a 

 central longitudinal line, not being divided as in P. aglea. 



Expanse 3^ inches.
