  The 
  species 
  is 
  allied 
  to 
  P. 
  Metacomet 
  ; 
  the 
  geminate 
  charac- 
  

   ter 
  of 
  its 
  discoidal 
  stigma 
  is 
  better 
  defined 
  ; 
  its 
  fringes 
  are 
  

   darker 
  ; 
  its 
  median 
  spots 
  are 
  yellow 
  instead 
  of 
  whitish 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  

   without 
  the 
  anteapical 
  spots, 
  and 
  lacks 
  the 
  band 
  of 
  pale 
  spots 
  

   on 
  the 
  secondaries 
  beneath 
  ; 
  the 
  lower 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen 
  

   is 
  without 
  the 
  conspicuous 
  mesial 
  line 
  of 
  pale 
  scales
