60 LEPIDOPTEROUS INSECTS. 



the radial nemire, not extending either to the cell or the inner margin. Cilia white, except at the apex and 

 the ends of the nervules, where they are black. Posterior wings black, with olivaceous reflections, crossed con- 

 siderably beyond the middle by a band composed of five crimson spots, the first rounded, the second smaller, 

 somewhat oval ; third oval, much larger, rather truncate externally ; fourth oval, rather smaller than the third : 

 fifth quadrate ; between this band and the margin one or two small faint whitish clouds. Cilia white, except 

 at the end of the teeth. 



" Below, all the wings paler than above, without any olive lustre ; the spots of the posterior wings pale, 

 darker externalh' ; the base of the anterior wings marked on the costa with a brilliant carmine spot, the cell with 

 four black longitudinal vittse, the white spot as above ; base of the posterior vrings with three crimson spots, 

 one on the costa, one in the cell, the third below the median nervure. Cell vrith three black longitudinal 

 vittse. 



" Head black, with two whitish lines in front and two spots of the same colour on the vertex. Thorax black, 

 spotted with white above. Abdomen black, the sides spotted with white. 



" Closely allied to P. Uus [P. Eimgoras of this Catalogue], but easily distinguished by the diiferent position 

 and form of the white markings on the anterior vrings, the want of the crimson in the discoidal cell below, and 

 other less obvious characters." — Ann. Nat. Hist.

Male. PI. VII. f. 1. — The primary wings deep black, with the summits clearer ; an oblique band of white, 

 which commences from the inner margin, nearer the angle than the base, and extends to the first discoidal ner- 

 vule, though it is bvit slightly apparent after the first median nervule. The secondary wings deep black, with 

 the borders of the outer margin between the dentations white ; a transverse band of scarlet occupies a space 

 between the anal angle and the discoidal nervule, which is composed of four distinct spots, that are separated by 

 the nervules ; the one at the anal angle is the largest, the next two are equal and oblong, whilst the fourth is 

 the smallest, of a lengthened oval. 



The under surface of the secondary wings deep bronzy "black, with six rosy white spots, which are less in size 

 than those of the upper side ; the base of the wing is ornamented with two scarlet spots.

Female. PI. XI. f. 3. — The primary wings black, with the summits clearer ; a white space in the middle 

 of the wing, which is divided by the median nervure and by the base of the first and second median nervules into 

 four spots ; that in the discoidal cell, and the one between the second discoidal and the first median nervules, are 

 less apparent than the other two placed between the first and third median nervules ; the one between the 

 second and third median nervules is the smaller of these two, and is rounded posteriorly. The secondary wings 

 deep black, with the border of the outer margin between the dentations white ; a transverse band of seven 

 distinct scarlet spots ; the two first from the inner margin are rather small and oblong ; the third and fourth are 

 the largest, especially the former, and oblong ; the three next gradually decrease in size towards the anterior 

 angle, but they are of a suboval form. 



The under surface of the primary wings brownish black, with the same white space that is seen on the upper 

 side ; the base is ornamented vrith two scarlet spots. The under surface of the secondary wings brownish black, 

 with the same formed spots that are presented on the upper side, but they are pink, with the anterior portion 

 of the three largest pinkish white ; the base of the wing is spotted with scarlet.
