Soc. Zool. 1886, 31) were identified as belonging to this species. This is probably 

 the most northern limit of its range. It is not micommon at Malacca and Province 

 Wellesley, in the Malay Peninsula. It is also recorded by Mr. Druce (P. Z. S. 1874, 

 103) from Chentaboon, in Siam. Mr. Distant (Rhop. Malayana, 34) also records it 

 from Sumatra, and Herr Kheil (Rhop. Insel Nias, p. 17) from the island of Nias. 

 Those from the latter place may, however, probably be the form described and 

 figured by Weymer (Stettin Ent. Zeit. 1865, 259, pi. 1, fig. 4) as P. Klieili. 



MiMiCK. — p. Menetriesii is, apparently, mimicked by one of the forms of the 

 female of the Nymphalid butterfly, Euripus Halitherses.

Imago. — Male. Upperside. Forewing very dark purplish-brown, glossed .with 

 steel-blue to near the margins ; with a long sexzial mark between the lower median 

 and submedian vein ; and a few very indistinct lower marginal pale dots. Hindiving 

 dark rufescent-brown towards the base and cinereous-brown along the costal border ; 

 with a prominent submarginal row of small pure-white or brownish-white oval sub- 

 marginal spots, and a marginal row of small round spots. Cilia white spotted. Under- 

 side rufescent olivaceous-brown, darkest upon the discal area. Forewing sometimes 

 with one or two small bluish-white costal spots, one within end of the cell, one on 

 the disc between the middle and upper median veinlets, and a very slender spot 

 sometimes also between the upper median and radial ; a pure white oval discal spot 

 between the middle and lower median veinlets, and a dull brown sexual streak 

 between the lower median and submedian vein, the posterior margin being cinereous- 

 brown ; some specimens also have a complete submarginal row of seven very small 

 white spots and a lower submarginal row, and in others only two of these sub- 

 marginal spots between the medians and the two or three lower marginal spots are 

 present. Hindiving with a bluish-white cell spot, a discal series of small slender 

 and spots, a very prominent row of large oval white submarginal spots, and a 

 marginal row of small rounded spots ; some white dots also at base of the wing. 



Female. Forewing glossed with steel-blue to near the margins as in male, with 

 the posterior margin straight ; a minute white spot on the costa above end of the 

 cell, one on the disc between the middle and upper median veinlets, and two or three 

 small brownish-white marginal spots at the posterior angle. Hindiving with a very 

 prominent row of large anteriorly decreasing oval white submarginal spots, and a 

 marginal row of conical spots. Underside paler than in male ; markings the same ; 

 forewing also with a long white streak between the lower median and submedian
