PI. III. f. 3. — " Above, wings white, with a broad black border along the out'er margin, this border divided 

 on the anterior wings by a white line interrupted by the nervules, commencing below the second median nervule 

 and extending nearly to the anal angle ; on the posterior by a series of six lunules ; anterior wings black at the 

 base, crossed immediately beyond the base by a transverse band, followed by another directed rather more out- 

 wardly ; another broader band crosses the cell about its middle, sometimes extending beyond the median nervule ; 

 a fourth band crosses the cell between this and its termination, where there is a fifth ; neither of these extends 

 below the median nervule. Posterior wings tailed, with two transverse bands near the base, of which one is 

 nearly continuous with the first band of the anterior wings ; the second, often almost macular, sometimes nearly 

 wanting, commences a little within the second band of the anterior wing, its outer edge being nearly continuous 

 with the inner edge of the band of the anterior wings, traverses the wing outside the cell, and at its termina- 

 tion curves round so as to reach the end of the first fascia, and is here marked with two greyish lunules ; on the 

 abdominal margin, near the anal angle, is a small pale spot, and the black border is here powdered with grey. 

 Tails black, edged with white. 



" Below, all the markings nearly as above, but of a pale brown ; the white lunules of the posterior wings are 

 edged with black ; the seoond band composed first of a brown fascia, then a series of seven or eight red spots, 

 bordered with black. 



" Head black, with two white lines in front ; antennae black. Thorax black above, with two pale lateral lines ; 

 below grey. Abdomen black above, grey below, the sides with the margins of the segments pale. 



" This species is closely alhed to P. Nomius of Esper, but may be known by its smaller size, the line in the 

 black border of the anterior wings instead of a series of dots, and some other characters." — Ann. Nat. Hist. 



Female. — The second band from the base of the primary wings is gradually narrower towards the inner 

 margin, and the third band does not advance beyond the median nervule. 



The second band from the base of the secondary wings is more or less apparent ; in some it is only slightly 

 indicated at the base between the first and second median nervules ; and the black spot at the base between the 

 discoidal and first median nervules is entirely wanting.
