beneath, the palpi white, thorax and abdomen pale greyish marked 

 with black. Sex-mark, the tuft of hairs overlying the patch of 

 specialized scales at base of hind wing on the upperside pale 

 chestnut. — $ differs in the duller coloration on both upper and 

 under sides ; the discal band on the upperside of fore wing broader ; 

 on the underside this band and the white spots on the apical area 

 are more clearly indicated than thev are in the <$ .

This form is very close to P. francki, Godart. Dr. Butler 

 indicates the following differences : — 



Discal band on fore wing " shining azure or greenish with a 



series of irregular white dashes prevalent colouring on 



external area below pale green." P. angelica. 



Discal band on fore wing " co*balt-blue intersected by a broad

$ . Closely resembles P. francki, race angelica, but on the 

 upperside of the fore wing the discal blue band is replaced by a 

 very broad, irregular, oblique patch of blue, uniform without any- 

 white medial markings, extending to the termen below vein 6 but 

 subterminally interrupted in interspaces 3, 4 and 5 by a narrow 

 band of the ground-colour ; the portion thus cut off macular, 

 traversed by the black veins ; preapical spots as in angelica but 

 bluish. Underside similar to that in angelica, but the black 

 markings on the fore wing less, on the hind wing more extensive 

 than in that form ; the basal markings in the cell of the fore wing 

 form spots, not rings as in angelica. On the hind wing the 

 green cone-shaped postdiscal markings are much darker and in- 

 wardly margined with reddish lunules. Antennae, head, thorax 

 and abdomen as in angelica, but darker beneath. — Female 

 unknown.
