Description : Male. Upperslde, both wings glossy fuscous with 

 golden-coloured markings. Forcwing with a broad increasing costal 

 streak extending to more than half the length of the wing from 

 the base, anteriorly bounded by the costa, posteriorly by the median 

 nervure, its outer edge inwardly oblique, the veins crossing it black ; 

 three small conjugated subapical narrow streaks ; a discal macular 

 increasing oblique band placed parallel to the outer margin of the 

 wing, consisting of five spots placed between the upper discoidal 

 nervule and submedian nervure ; each spot has its inner edge convex, 

 its outer edge concave, the lowest spot in the interno-median 

 interspace posteriorly lengthened and carried along the submedian 

 nervure to the base of the wing ; the band bearing a fine black sinuous 

 line anteriorly in the two lowest interspaces, this conspicuous charac- 

 ter being unique in the genus ; a streak on the inner margin two- 

 thirds the length of the wins: from the base. Cilia of the anterior half 

 of the wing fuscous, of the posterior golden-coloured. Kindwing 

 with a broad median band, having its edges rather irregular, reaching 

 from the internal nervure to the second subcostal nervule, anteriorly 

 produced along the internal nervure towards the base of the wing ; 

 a patch of long golden-coloured setae near the base of the wing. 

 Cilia golden-coloured throughout, increasing in length from the apex 

 to the anal angle. Underside, forewing with the apical third of the 

 wing golden-coloured ; the markings much as on the upperside. 

 Hindwing golden-coloured, more or less streaked with black between 

 the veins ; the discal band as above, but narrower and more macular. 

 Female. JJ'P'P'e^syd'e,, forewing with the costal band less conspicuous 

 and streaked with black, the discal band lacking the fine sinuous 

 black line crossing the anterior portion of the two posterior spots 

 seen in the male. Hindwing with the basal golden-coloured bunch 

 of setae and the discal band smaller and narrower respectively 

 than in the male. Underside, both ivings exactly as in the male. 



P. procles is, I believe, quite distinct from all the known species of 

 the genus (P. dara, Kollar, =P. nmsa, Moore ; P. mcesoides, Butler ; 

 P. pseudonicBsa, Moore ; P. gola, Moore ; P. goloides, Moore ;
