distinctness of markings, whereas the female (of Wedah) in its paler colour, is more 

 like E. Merione. 



Another interesting feature is the very fair mimetic resemblance of P. Wedah, 

 on the upperside of the wings, to the female of Bohana Parisatis, occurring in the 

 same localities, — and, further — the larva of P. Wedah, as figured on our Plate 389, is 

 also very similar, in appearance, to the larva of the genus Rohana, the S. Indian ard 

 Ceylon species of which (7?. Camiha) is also figured on our Plate 194, the pupa, also, 

 of this genus, being somewhat the shape of that of P. Wedah.

Imago. — Male. Upperside golden-brown or rich brownish-ochreous, darkest on 

 the outer margins; cilia black, alternated with white. Forewing with two black 

 slender bars crossing middle of the cell and two similar bars enclosing tlie 

 discocellulars ; a transverse inner-discal slender lunulated almost erect band, a 

 somewhat recurved outer-discal and a submarginal similar band, the two latter 

 medially interspaced by a row of four or five black dots. Hindiving with four black 

 similarly disposed cell-bars, but which are more slender and neai-er together ; a 

 transverse inner and outer-discal less sinuous but slightly curved band, and a 

 submarginal more sinuous curved baud, the two latter being also interspaced by a 

 medial row of five dots. Undei"side greyish-brown. Botli wings with markings, as 

 on upperside, dark brown, the two innor-discal bands broader, and the outer 

 margins diffusedly dark brown; the interspaces of the cell-marks and bordering 

 area of outer rows of dots slightly suffused with ochreous, and all the markings are 

 more or less slightly edged with glossy pale violet; on the hindwiug is a short 

 subbasal brown streak ascending between the subcostal and costal vein. 



Female. Upperside much paler ; markings the same, but less prominent. 

 Underside also much paler, and the markings less prominent than in the male.
