Very closely allied to P. Leonidas, Fab., hut the spots paler {not of 
so green a tint), smaller, and in fore-iuing {especially in fewer. 
$ Broivnish-hlach, with dull white {sometimes slightly greeyiish-tinged) 
markings, in pattern and arrangement as in P. Leonidas. Fore-wing : 
first or basal oblique mark in discoidal cell, and small elongate seventh 
spot of discal series (between first and second median nervules), wholly 
wanting ; second or median disco-cellular mark highly variable, some- 
times as large as, or larger than, in Leonidas, but usually narrower and 
divided transversely, occasionally into three, but more often into two 
parts, — rarely reduced to one very small (upper) spot ; third disco- 
cellular mark, spots of discal series, and spots of submarginal row 
nearly always smaller, — the last-named sometimes minute. Hind- 
vjing : basal patch almost always narrower, especially on inner margin, 
the neuration crossing it only black near its outer edge ; spots of 
discal series reduced to three, two, or one, or not seldom wanting alto- 
gether; spots of submarginal row much smaller, tbe first often obso- 
lescent or wanting? ; inner-maririnal frinf^e of longj hair yellow-ochreous 
throughout. Under side. — Ground-colouring darker ; markings smaller 
than on upper side, especially basal patch of hind-wing, which has a 
decided tinge of ochre-yellow ; basal red usually much duller than in 
Leonidas, sometimes obsolescent. 
$ Like hut markings whiter and {loith exception of hasal patch 
of hind-wing) very frcqiiently much smaller and fewer. Fore-wing : small 
third spot of discal row almost always, and fifth very often, wanting; 
disco-cellular marks usually much reduced, — rarely represented by a 
median and terminal indistinct very small spot, — and in one example 
absent except for two scarcely perceptible median dots. Undek 
SIDE. — As in except for usually smaller and fewer spots.
