 rum, Moore), differing therefrom on the upperside in the fore wing 

 in the presence in the male of the above-mentioned black streak, and 

 in the markings of the hindwing being confined to a single median 

 band, with an entire absence of the usual spots towards the costa 

 and the base of the wings anterior to the band, except in P. olivescens, 

 from Rockhampton, North Australia, which is also abnormal in this 

 respect. 



Described from two male and two female specimens presented to

Cilia dark brown. Foreiving with a lustrous semi-transparent 



stramineous dot in the discoidal cell about three -fourths of its length 



from the base, touching the subcostal nervure ; a similar but larger 



oblong spot placed transversely towards the base of the second 



median interspace ; a similar but still larger one at about the 



middle of the first median interspace ; a dot equal in size to that in 



the cell in the submedian interspace at its middle and touching the 



submedian nervure. Hindwing unmarked. Underside^ forewing 



with a second spot in the cell obliquely placed inwardly beneath the 



first spot ; the discal spots as above ; the dot in the submedian 



interspace developed into a large whij;ish patch which extends 



inwardly obliquely across the submedian interspace. Hindiving 



unmarked. Female. Upperside, /ore^(;mgr with all the discal spots 



larger, the one in the cell developed into a figure-of-8 spot which 



extends completely across the cell, the spots — especially the lower 



one — in the median interspaces much larger and oval. Hindwing 



with the apex anterior to the subcostal nervure stramineous. 



Underside, foreiving with an additional spot on the costa anterior 



to the spot in the cell. Hindwing with the apex more widely 



stramineous than above. Oilia stramineous apically, followed
