the base, half as far as the nodus, but very slightly on the hlud 

 wings, and only tow^ards the costa.

Kottawa, April 19, 24, 27, 1892. 



Allied to P. splendens, but much smaller and differently 

 coloured. 



Yar. viridissima. — Differs from the type in the fore wings, the 

 extremity of the hind wings, and their costal area to the nodus 

 being iridescent green with a slight coppery shade, and the hind 

 wings, except at the extremity, the small hyaline patch at the 

 base, and along the costal area to the nodus being of a brilliant 

 green, as in JP. splendens. 



Kottawa, April 19, 1892. 



As the only specimen of this form was taken at the same time 

 and place as the others, which it much resembles, except in 

 colour, I do not feel justified in regarding it as a distinct species.
