Yar. restricta, var. nov. (Plate XXXV. fipj. 5, $ .) Ileddish-brown coloration of secondaries 

 brighter and restricted to a trianj^ular-shaped jjatch on tlie anal area of these wings ; the 

 streaks in discoidal cell of primaries are more pronounced, and those in cell of secondaries are 

 black instead of reddish. 



Appears to be a scarce species in China, as I have only received two 

 s]iecimens ( c? ? ) ; these were captured at Chang-yang. Except that tlie 

 female is rather larger and rounder in the wing, the sexes are alike. 



Elwes (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1888, p. 431) considers that P. goimla, 

 Moore, and 1\ govindra, Moore, are probably forms of P. agestor. Gray, and 

 states that it is rare in Sikkim, occurring in May at from 6000 to 7000 feet. 

 Its range extends into Bhotan and the N.W. Himalayas.

" Wings ample, broad. Fore wing trigonal ; cell long, broad ; costal vein extending to one third 

 from apex; subcostal vein curved at end of the cell, first, second, third, and fourth branches 

 arising at equal distances before end of the cell, fifth from its end, the three former termi- 

 nating before the apex, fourth at the apex, and fifth below it ; discocellulars angled close to 

 the upper end ; upper radial frorn the angle, lower from their middle ; median vein three- 

 branched, widely apart, the upper from lower end of cell, middle and lower branches at ecjual 

 distances, the lower from near base of cell ; submedian slight!}- recurved. Hind wing broadly 

 ovate ; subcostal two-branched, second before end of cell ; discocelltilars slightly angled : 

 radial from their angle ; median three-branched, middle branch from immediately before end 

 of cell. Body small, robust : abdomen short. Palpi short, thick, pilose, ascending ; third joint

" Male. Up'perside creamy white, glossy ; fore wing with the apex broadly vinous brown, the ends 

 of the median veins also with a vinous-brown-speckled spot ; hind wing with a curved upper 

 discal decreasing series of five purple-black spots, the upper one large and situated between 

 the costal and subcostal veins ; the end of the veins also with a small vinous-brown-speckled 

 spot. Underside white ; fore wing with the costal base, a patch beyond the end of the cell, 

 and the outer border pale vinous brown ; hind wing with a short black narrow streak at end
