Var. dehaani, Felder. " A hianore, Cram., cum quo el. De Haan colore et signaturis fortasse 
deceptus confudit, longe diversus et P. maackii, Menetr., valde similis, facile tamen digno- 
scendus lunulis submarginalibus paginae inferioris alarum posticarum a margine multo magis 
remotis. 
" Yeaa et plica interna ramique mediani alarum anticarum maris in P. maackii valde tomentosi 
apparent, et maculae tres inferiores tomenti in unam fere conujnctae sunt. Specimen nostrum 
P. raddei, Brem., ibidem paree tantum tomentosum est." (Felder, I. c.) 
Var. alliacmon, de rOrza. " Trus-voisin du Manor, dent il n'est peut-etre qu'une modification 
locale d'un tiers plus petite. II differe de cette espuce chinoise en ce que chez le male les 
trois croissants de la region abdominale sont surmontcs d'une petite luuule violette." (De 
rOrza, I. c.) 
Var. japonica, Butler. " Alae anticae subtus late fuscae : posticse caudis vix spathatis ; supra 
macula anali minus conspicua ; subtus prope marginem luteo roratas, maculis submarginalibus 
minus lunulatis, macula anali bis baud distinguenda." {Bathr, I. c.) 
This species exhibits considerable variation in the male. Some specimens 
have very bright green scales thickly powdered over all the wings ; in others 
the green scales are dull in lone and on the secondaries are eclipsed by the 
more vivid tint of the blue colour on costal area of these wings. Green scales 
are sometimes interspersed with the blue ones forming the submarginal 
lunules ; these blue lunules are not always well defined and the lower ones 
are sometimes entirely replaced by the reddish colour, which, in other specimens, 
is sometimes present in a greater or lesser degree, forming an outer edging to 
one or more of the lunules. The blue colour, usually restricted to the im- 
mediate \icinity of the nervule, is in some specimens diffused over the greater 
portion of the tail. 
The Japanese summer form of P. bianor, which has been described as 
dehaani by Felder, differs principally from the type in having the basal half 
of primaries, on under surface, blacker, more clearly limited outwardly, and 
the grey of outer half of these wings is whiter, broadly bordered exteriorly 
with black, and forms a tapering band to inner margin. The Japanese spring 
form '\% japonica, Butler, which, like the Chinese spring form, is much smaller 
than the type, and exhibits the same differences on the under surface as noted 
in the Japanese summer form. Alliacmon, de I'Orza, is also referable to the 
Japanese P. Manor, and, as it is said to be a third smaller, probably to the 
spring brood, i.e. japonica, Butler.
