This is oEeof tbe most beautiful species in the gemis; it bears a Tagoe 

 resemblance to //. albula of Timor, wliichj howovcr, belongs to the

S . Allitsl to Unioirusi's of Wallace, from which, however, it differs 

 in its clearer fulvous colouring above, tbe blaefcish colouring of the external 

 area being coufined to the aiwix, the paler coloration of the under eurfaee, 

 its broader and loss producfd primaries, and the less pronounced c«udal 

 anj,'l6 to the secondaries. Wings above tawny, with black markings and 

 biuitsh-centrecl ocelli, as in IK crtyoue of Java (Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. pL 

 6*2. E, F), but the white markings of that species replaced by a slightly 

 paler tint of tawny than the ground colour ; under surface as in P. en'yone. 

 Expanse of wings 52-54 mm.

Why the P. enffoue group has luceu refen*ed to Jmumia and the 

 scarcely differing P, mituhca to Pncii^ it would, I tliijik, be hard to 

 explain. P. antigone and P. iiatulka seem very closely allied e]:iecies,

Most nearly allied to D, m'shmi of Moore from Java (with which species 

 it was associated by Wallace). It differs in its .«tuper»or size, the 

 narrower black area of the upper 5in-face, the deeply sinuated inner edge 

 of the black area on the primaries, the apical series of spots much 

 sinalier, tfie fifth, u.^ Boisduval says, " tres petite et ponctifonue," whereas 

 in /J. inKhitit this IB the case with a sixth spot not present in D.liinorefm&t 

 primaries liclow with the basal pale area cuneiform (not angular), pnre 

 lemon -yellow within and just below the cell, otherwise pearl-white ("la
