The band, whicli commences in the middle of the inner margin of the primary wings, is narrower throughout 

 and is whiter in colour than that on the Demerara specimen contained in the collection and on the figure given 

 by Cramer. 



Female. PL X. f. 3. — The primary wings black, with the summits clearer ; a large white space occupies the 

 middle of the wing, which is divided into four spots ; that within the discoidal cell at the apex of the median 

 nervure is very slightly apparent, the second is between the second discoidal and first median nervule, and the 

 next is between this latter nervule and the second median nemile, both of these touch the median nervure ; the 

 fourth spot is between the second and third median nemiles, not touching the median ner-sTire. The secondary 

 wings black, with the borders between the dentations slightly fringed with white ; a transverse curved band 

 composed of seven spots, the spot at the anal angle large and dilated at the posterior end, the second and third 

 are the longest and oblong ; the fourth to the sixth each decreasing m size towards the anterior angle ; all these 

 spots are scarlet, with the anterior part more obscured, but the seventh, which is between the costal nervure and 

 the first subcostal nervule, is white and of a lengthened form. 



The vmder surface of the primary wings is brownish black, showing the same white space as on the upper side. 

 The under surface of the secondary wings is deep brovraish black, vrith the same spots as on the upper side, but 

 they are pinkish white, vrith the anterior part scarlet, except the seventh, which is white ; a crimson mark 

 between the basal part of the median nervure and the submedian nervule.

 According to the figure in Jones's Icones this species is very like P. Harmodius ; except that there are only 

 three spots below the discoidal cell and a small one at the anal angle on each of the secondary wings.
