minute olive-brown scales, and lighter internal to a straight line drawn 

 obliqnely across the inter no-median area from the apex of the third 

 median nervule to the base of the snbmedian nervure, with a prominent 

 white lustrous dot near the anterior end of the cell and a curved 

 discal series of four white lustrous spots, of which the third from the 

 inner margin is by far the largest, transparent, visible on the upperside, 

 and may or may not be accompanied by a minute dot, which may or 

 may not be transparent and visible from above. Body clothed above

One male in forest near Silcuri on 11th July, from which the 

 figure is taken. It occurs also in Sibsagar (8. JE. Peal), at Shillong, 

 and in Sikkim, where it is quite a common species at low elevations ; 

 the figure of the female has been taken from a Shillong specimen. A 

 preliminary description of this species appeared in the Journ. A. S. B., 

 vol. li, pt. 2, p. 65, n. 202 (1882). P. assamensis is the largest species 

 of the genus known to us.

 than the male, with the large discal semi-transparent lustrous spot in the 

 first median interspace of the fore wing shorter, emarginate, and not 

 extending to the base of the interspace. One example has only the 

 three posterior of the spots of the underside of the hindwing — and
