0* wet season form differs from ssp. sandaka (which only occurs in the wet season form) in 

 having paler orange markings and the fore wing cilia more clearly chequered with white, as in 

 P. hordonia. From the nominate subspecies of P. hordonia, with which it has been confused in 

 the past, it differs in having richer orange markings and a paler and slightly larger speculum 

 which always invades the upper part of the hind wing discal band, whereas in hordonia the 

 greyer speculum ends on, or just beyond, the inner edge of the discal band. In addition the 

 fore wing grey postdiscal fascia is narrower and the orange submarginal series more prominent 

 than in hordonia. In the dry season form the orange markings are even wider than in hordonia 

 dsf. plagiosa, the fore wing grey postdiscal fascia is absent and the postdiscal band is separated 

 from the submarginal series only by a line of detached triangular black spots, whereas in 

 plagiosa the submarginal series is narrowly, but continuously, separated from the postdiscal 

 band. On the under surface less heavily mottled than plagiosa and the purple striae are less 

 developed. 



$ differs from ssp. sandaka in the same ways as the male. From hordonia it differs less than 

 does the male, and in the dry season form it is difficult to identify some examples with any 

 degree of certainty.

<J$ differ from sspp. davidsoni and sandaka in having rather narrow markings, which are paler 

 orange on the fore wing and white, edged or suffused with orange, on the hind wing, and on the 

 under surface by having all the markings whitish and the mottling of a richer and deeper shade. 

 Differs from P. hordonia cnacalis, with which it has hitherto been confused, as follows. It is a 

 little smaller (<$ fore wing averages 20 mm.). On the upper surface of the fore wing the grey 

 postdiscal fascia is much narrower and the orange markings richer in tone. On the upper
