566 L. de Niceville — Little-Known Butterflies from the [No. 3, 



projection beyond the tail, somewhat broadly edged with carmine. 

 Underside, both wings as above but of a duller shade of black. Forewing 

 as on the upperside. Hindwing with the discal pinkish-white patch 

 extending quite up to the cell but not invading its outer end, the patch 

 is inwardly continued from the first median nervule to the submedian 

 nervure by a carmine spot ; the submarginal lunules as above but of a 

 pure rich carmine, the two interior ones continued to the outer margi- 

 nal carmine edging to the wing, which latter is broader than on the 

 upperside, as also is the carmine tip to the tail. Palpi, orbits, head, 

 and thorax anteriorly carmine ; thorax posteriorly and abdomen above 

 black; thorax and abdomen beneath carmine; anal valves carmine; 

 antennae, and legs black. 



Very near to P. (Byasa) latreillei, Donovan ( = P. minereus, Gray), 

 of which I have good series of males from Tehri Grarhwal and Sikkim ; 

 differing therefrom on the upperside of the hindwing in the discal 

 white patch being larger (placed further from the outer margin), 

 extending into the discoidal cell instead of ending (as a rule) consider- 

 ably before the end, and occupying anteriorly an additional interspace, 

 in P. latreillei the patch is bounded in front by the discoidal nervule, 

 in P. polla it reaches the second subcostal nervule ; by the outer margin 

 and the end of the tail being broadly edged with carmine instead of 

 having black cilia only ; on the underside of the hindwing in P. latreillei 

 there is invariably a small white marginal spot in the subcostal inter- 

 space which is wanting in P. polla ; sometimes in P. latreillei there are 

 two small white spots, sometimes one only, usually none, in the discoidal 

 interspace in continuation of the discal white patch, these in P. polla 

 being developed iuto a very large quadrate white spot, which is, in 

 fact, much the largest spot of the four forming the patch ; the broad 

 carmine margin is also very distinctive of P. polla, being wholly absent 

 in the allied species. 



Described from a single male for which I am indebted to Major 

 F. B. Longe, R. E., captured in the Kokang State, 3,500 feet, in the 

 North Shan States, on the Chinese frontier east of Bhamo, on 5th 

 April, 1895, also from an exceedingly worn and faded female in Captain 

 E. Y. Watson's collection caught in the North Chin Hills of Upper 

 Burma at 5,000 feet elevation in the rains. The latter appears to 

 differ only from the male on the upperside of the hindwing in the 

 white patch being continued posteriorly to the abdominal margin, or 

 nearly so, and not reaching into the end of the cell.
