P. antilope is the dry phase and P. stmia (= micromera) 
the wet. We possess an intermediate phase approaching 
nearest to P. antélope. From P. cuama, with which the dry 
phase has been confounded, there is no difficulty whatever in 
distinguishing it. ‘The wings in all phases of P. antilope are 
shorter, the pink belt on the secondaries of the males wanting, 
as also the subapical white spots on the dry phase; there are 
other constant, though less evident, differences.

P. cuama is the dry phase and P. Trimeni the wet. We 
have several transitional examples. As to P. cuama being an 
aberration of P. antilope, that is out of the question, from the 
constancy of all its characters in both wet and dry phases and 
in the fact that it is quite as abundant (where it occurs) as 
P. antilope.

The dry phase differs in the much more pronounced angles 
to the outer margins of the wings, in the much more uniform 
redder colouring of both surfaces, with less prominent white 
discal spots and absence of white submarginal lunules. We 
have two transitional examples.
