elons^ated, extending from vein to vein, and connected with the second, 

 Vi'liich is roundish and itself connected with the discal band, the third oval, 

 about one-third the size of the second, and touching the discocellular 

 veinlet, the fourth twice the size of the third, in contact with the median 

 vein and its two last branches, the fifth rather smaller than the third, the 

 sixth crescentic and connected with the two above-mentioned large spots in 

 the anal region ; with six large diffused luteous blotches externally mar- 

 gined with black, and increasing in size and depth of colour from the 

 anterior to the inner margin ; with the ground-colour between these 

 blotches and the discal black spots pure white ; with an increasing series 

 of six marginal lunules, between which and the wavy black margins of the

 greyish-white in the posterior portion of the wings ; and with the incisures

To mark its close relationship to A. antipliates, I have called the 

 species P. laestrygonum after the mythical people over whom Antiphates 

 is supposed to have reigned. It differs from its nearest ally in having the 

 u] i^erside much blacker (the bands of the forewing being broader ; the first, 

 second, and fifth of them togetlier with the marginal one extending to the 

 inner margin, where they are all connected together by a very narrow black 

 edging ; and the disk of the hindwing mottled as it were by black and 

 grey), a much greater extent of grey, and more highl^^ developed marginal 

 and submarginal lunules on the hindwing; in the abdomen being dorsally 

 banded with black and the thorax ornamented with grey setse, &c."
