I have not seen this species, but it is said to differ from 
PP. cebrene in the broader basal black area on the upper 
surface of the primaries showing two blue strie in the 
discoidal cell and the consequent reduction of the ochreous 
area on these wings. The blue spot on the secondaries is 
described as being larger, not violaceous and prolonged 
outwardly on the radial vein; but these characters may prove 
to be inconstant if one may judge of them by what we see in 
the closely related P. enone and (to some extent) in P. cebrene. 
25. Precis Westermanni,

Although the pattern of the under surface in the wet phase 
of this species somewhat approaches that of P. sophia, the 
upper-surface colouring would bring it next to P. paris. As 
a matter of fact P. Westermanni and P. hadrope stand quite 
alone, the sexes in both being utterly dissimilar. A female 
of P. Westermanni was secured by the late Mr. Philip 
Crowley, and we have recently received two others; and 
P. xia, of which the Museum possesses the type, is evidently 
the female of P. hadrope. 
The dry phase of P. Westermanni is smaller than the wet 
phase, and the secondaries on the under surface are rufescent, 
with rufous-brown, instead of black, markings, and with a 
slightly silvery triangular costal patch.

What appears to be the dry phase of this species is evidently 
a rare insect, in which the upper surface is almost black, with 
the discal bands white, so that it looks remarkably like a tiny 
form of Panopea lucretia. In the Museum collection are two 
examples of a phase intermediate between this and the normal 
wet phase.
