Wadelai, 11th and 12th January, 1887. 



Nearest to P. thelwallii, Druce, but differing from it in the nar- 

 rower border to the secondaries, and from all the three described 

 species- P. thelwallii, P. hellatrix, and P. tigris-\n the strai-ht in- 

 stead of angulated bands on the primaries ; the orange of the male 

 IS paler than m the female but is quite uniform ; in P. tiaris the 

 primaries are decidedly paler than the secondaries.

 crossed by the white belt before basal third ; this belt also is very 

 wide m front, so that towards the costa it occupies quite a third of
