288 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



cellular long, outwardly oblique, radial from above its middle ; two upper medians 

 emitted from extreme end of tbe cell, lower median at one-fifth before the end ; sub- 

 median straight ; inner vein recurved ; ?k glandular patch * situated between the costal 

 and subcostal vein, and extending into the cell and just within the fork of the sub- 

 costal veinlets, clothed with rather short narrow tapering blach scales, which have 

 either an obtuse pointed tip, or bidentate or trideutate tips. Thorax clothed with 

 long silky hairs ; palpi clothed with long fine hairs in front, apical joint short ; legs 

 rather stout, femora hairy beneath; antennge slender and with a well-formed 

 flattened club ; eyes hairy. According to Mr. Doherty, " the prehensores are of 

 extraordinary structure ; the uncus (which is provided with rather short and slender 

 branches) being cleft into two strong lobes lying in the same vertical longitudinal 

 jDlane, and resembling the open claw of a lobster, the lower point being slightly the 

 longer; a structure unknown among all other tretapod butterflies." 

 Type. — P. Baladeva.

Male and Female. Upperside olivescent ochreous-brown. Cilia edged 

 with ochreous-white. Forewing crossed by an outwardly-oblique pale brownish 

 discal fascia, terminating a little beyond the lower median veinlet, followed by a 

 linear row of five small slightly pale-ringed blackish spots, all being encompassed by 

 a lateral pale bordering slender fascia, beyond which is a narrow submarginal pale 

 similar lunular fascia, and then a slender marginal line. Hinclwing with a glandular 

 ■patch situated between the costal and subcostal vein, clothed with rather short, 

 narrow, tapering blach scales, with either an obtuse tip, or bidentate or tridentate tips ; 

 an outer series of six black spots, the lowest being minute, each with an ochreous 

 outer ring, and the lower fifth also with a minute white pupil ; marginal brown line 

 pale-bordered. Underside bright olivescent brownish-ochreous. Forewing with three 

 pale-yellow bars across the cell, the middle one sharply defined ; crossed by a broad 

 pale-yellow oblique discal fascia, followed by a linear row of six ocelli, each with a very 

 small black centre and white pupil, a broad ochreous riug, then a slender brown ring, 

 and all encompassed by a narrow inward silvery-white band, and a slender outward 

 j^ellow line ; beyond is a pale-yellow lunular fascia, and then a slender mar- 

 ginal line. Hindiving crossed by a short outwardly-oblique subbasal pale-yellow 

 narrow straight band, a broader straight medial discal band which is silvery-white 



* This glandular patch is not present in P. Ramadeva, nor in P. Andersoni.
