 its upper edge; an elongate rhomboidal spot in cell la almost coinciding in length with 

 the hyaline spot in cell 2, an acuminate streak next the costa from the base of the wing 

 as far as the apex of cell 10, and a narrow border to the hyaline spots bright orange- 

 yellow : hind wing with the disc irregularly, and a streak along vein lb, orange-yellow. 

 Underside : fore wing orange-yellow, with the costa and termen narrowly black ; a

 discoidal cell in part along the course of vein 5, and another in cell 8 continued 

 towards the base along the upper edge of the discoidal cell ; dorsum black as far as vein 

 1 a, and an oblong, black-edged, somewhat metallic pale spot in cell 1 a from the base 

 of vein 2 to the base of the wing : hind wing deep orange-yellow, the costa and termen

 streak in its basal two-thirds ; cell 1 orange-yellow ; disc of the wing with several 

 irregular black dashes placed as follows, namely — two in cell 7, of which the basal one

This species seems to be most nearly allied to P. corissa. Hew., to which it bears 

 considerable resemblance in the colour of the underside, but the latter species wants 

 the pale spots on the hind wing below.
