median white or whitish band bearing black spots externally, and 

 also by the completeness and strong npper curve of the discal series 

 of vitreous spots in the fore wings. Though not distantly related 

 to P. bhagava (Moore), P. jamesoni is nearer to an allied form, 

 from Coirabatoor and Moulniein, in the British Museum, but differs 

 from the latter in its paler yellower ground-colour, larger fore- 

 wing spots (with better developed black edges), whiter, infeiiorly 

 narrowed (instead of widened) hind-wing band, and varied instead 

 of plain cilia.
