lower disco-cellular nervule), — tlie fourth is tlie largest, — and the fifth 
(immediately below first median nervule) very small ; two elongate 
white spots, one on each side of submedian nervure, forming a distinct, 
rather small, superiorly-rounded patch on inner margin rather beyond 
middle ; between arched white band and apex two obliquely-lying 
white spots, of which the lower is outwardly rather deeply bifid ; 
below the lower of these two spots, the indistinct trace of a linear 
white mark, succeeded by a very faint series of almost obsolete minute 
whitish spots, between nervules, close to hind-margin ; a very fine 
linear white edging along costa from a little beyond middle to apex, 
where it terminates in a conspicuous white spot extending to the cilia 
immediately adjoining, and somewhat suffused on its inner side. Hind- 
wing : a very broad central white band from costa to inner margin ; of 
this band, the inner edge near base is slightly dentated, the outer edge 
regularly and deeply pierced by inter-nervular black rays extending from 
hind-margin ; the ray between submedian and internal nervures much 
longer than the rest, reaching almost to base ; close to hind-margin, a row. 
of very indistinct whitish minute spots arranged in pairs on both sides 
of each inter-nervular ray ; at anal angle two or three indistinct ochrey- 
yellow marginal marks. Cilia with minute inter-nervular white spots. 
Under side. — Very yak ochreous-hroivn, mixed with whitish in apical 
hind-marginal area of both wings ; discal area of fore-wing tinged with 
fuscous. Fore-wing : a small white spot at origin of subcostal and 
median nervures ; a pale fulvous-ochreous streak along costa from base, 
to a little before middle ; a longitudinal black ray in discoidal cell 
surmounted by a shorter divergent white ray ; white markings larger 
than on upper side, especially first spot of central band and both sub- 
apical spots, — the latter forming a continuous bar inferiorly confused 
with the whitish inter-nervular clouding of apical hind-marginal area ; 
crossing this area, conspicuous inter-nervular fuscous rays''; apical white 
spot enlarged and inwardly merged into whitish clouding ; submarginal 
white spots distinct from third median nervule to anal angle. Hind- 
wing : base, as far as inner edge of central band, pale fulvous-ochreous 
marked with eight black spots as in P. Tarquinia ; central band 
broader than on upper side ; submarginal white spots much larger 
than on upper side, and quite distinct except near apex, where they 
are confused with the inter-nervular whitish clouding ; hind-margin and 
anal angle bordered with ochrey-yellow. 
$ All the white markings (except apical spot) considerahly larger^ 
especially the central hand in both ivings. Fore-wing : central band 
very much broader than in ^, more even and continuous, its first spot 
so enlarged as to occupy outer half of discoidal cell ; lower disco- 
cellular nervule only thinly marked on the white ; costal white edging 
line wanting, and apical white spot very thin and minute ; submarginal 
spots distinct, — the two next succeeding subapical spots elongated, sub- 
linear. Hind-wioig : central band begins rather nearer to base and
