o* differs from ssp. aurelia in the great reduction of the speculum on the upper surface of the 

 hind wing, which is no larger or more prominent than in P. sandaka, does not reach the termen 

 nor obliterate the upper part of the black band separating the orange discal and postdiscal 

 bands ; whereas in aurelia the speculum is much larger than in any other species of the genus, 

 is silvery white, reaches the termen below vein 7 and obliterates the black band separating the 

 orange discal and postdiscal bands above mid-space 6. The type is a dry season form (not 

 known in ssp. aurelia) and has the orange markings of the upper surface greatly enlarged and 

 confluent, but in the wet season from the orange markings are of normal extent. 



$ except in the dry season form does not differ from females of ssp. aurelia.
