first median nervules, partly bluish white and buffy white ; while the fourth is below the first median nervule, 

 and is very small and of a bufiy white. The under surface of the secondary wiags brownish black, with a trans- 

 verse curved band, which is divided into sis spots by the nervules, of a pinkish white bordered with darker on 

 the margins ; the first spot at the anal angle is large and subtriangular ; the other spots are similar to those on the 

 upper side, but they are not so broad, and thereby do not reach to the nervure of the discoidal cell.

It is by comparison with Jones's figure (?) that this species has been named P. Iphidamas. Though it is 

 necessary to say, that the figure differs in some respects from the specimens, yet it is so shght that it is thought 

 best to adopt the Fabrician name rather than give a new one ; as the specimens themselves do not exactly agree 

 in the size of the white space on the primary wings, which is rather larger in Jones's figure than in any of the 

 specimens in the Museum.

PapiUo Panares, G. R. Gr. 



Female. PI. X. f. 4. — The primary wings bronzy black, having seven very minute bufiy white lunes on the 

 outer margin, with a band of buffy white, divided into four unequal spots ; the first is placed at the base of the 

 first and second subcostal nervules ; the second is large and occupies the fore part of the discoidal cell, but not 

 touching the disco-cellular nervules ; the two next are divided by the base of the first median nervule. The 

 secondary wings bronzy black, with margins between the dentations bufiy white ; a transverse curved band of car- 

 mine extends from the anal angle towards the first subcostal nervule, and is divided by the nervules into six un- 

 equal spots ; the first at the anal angle large and subquadrate ; the second, third and fourth are the largest and 

 are of an oblong form ; the fifth is much smaller, and the sisth is very small and rounded ; these last three are 

 more distinctly separated by the black nervules from one another than is the case with the others. 



The xmder surface of the primary wings is very similar to the upper side, but the band is more decidedly white. 

 The under surface of the secondary wings is brownish black, having the same formed band as on the upper side ; 

 but the spots are more distinctly separated, and of a pinkish white margined with some carmine scales, while the 

 spot at the anal angle is smaller and less quadrate.

Like P. Areas in general appearance, but the spot in the discoidal cell of the primary wings does not occupy 

 so large a space, and is of a somewhat triangular form ; the outer margin has nine minute lunes of white scales 

 between the nervules. The transverse band of the secondary wings extends less towards the base of the wings, 

 and thereby it is not quite so vride as in P. Areas, and it appears to be of a lighter colour, being pale scarlet with 

 the anterior part and inner margin yellow, which colour is also prominent on the disco-cellular, the base of the 

 discoidal, and the three median nervules. In these diff'erences it agrees best with P. Arriphus, Boisd., but this 

 last-mentioned species has the band rather narrower, though the discoidal cell is occupied by a larger quantity of 

 the yellowish scarlet colour ; and it is easily distmguished both from P. Areas and the female above noticed, by the 

 dentations of the secondary wings being more obtuse, and the margin between the dentations being bordered with 

 crimson, and also by the outer margin of the primary wings being ornamented with four very minute spots of 

 crimson scales.
