 the back, the posterior one is much longer and more inclined

This insular form closely resembles P. nefte, Cramer, race 

 nivifera, Butler, so far as the males are concerned, but the sexes 

 are much more alike in it than in the Malaccan form. It differs 

 as follows : — tf . Upperside. Fore wing : discoidal streak ill- 

 defined, divided into four, the preapical portion forming a promi- 

 nent white spot ; the discal band very much broader ; the inner 

 and outer subterminal lines nearly obsolete ; preapical spot orange- 

 yellow. Hind wing : subbasal band broader, postdiscal band 

 faint, obsolescent, the inner border of black cone-shaped marks 

 and the outer black band more distinct than in nivifera. Under- 

 side ochraceous, the markings broader, the dark blotches between 

 them on the ground-colour of the fore wing and the discal series 

 of dark spots more heavily marked ; also the subterminal narrow 

 band on the hind wing is more or less distinctly margined on the 

 inner side by a row of black transverse spots. — 2 . Very closely 

 resembles its own <$ , the markings are white on both upper and 

 under sides, but the spots that compose the discal band on the 

 fore wing are outwardly suffused with orange-yellow, and on the 

 underside of the hind wing the spots on the inner margin of the 

 subterminal band are much larger and more clearlv defined.

 S 2 • Upperside black (in 2 blackish brown) with white markings. 

 Fore wing : discoidal streak narrow clavate, followed by an acutely 

 pointed, long, triangular spot beyond apex of cell ; discal curved 

 band macular, the spots that compose it well separated, those in 

 interspaces 1 and 2 broadly oval, no spot in interspace 3, a very 

 small rounded spot in interspace 4, and elongate oval spots in 5 

 and 6 ; an inner and an outer subterminal line dusky white formed 

 of short, transverse, ill-defined slender lines in the interspaces,
