the radial nervure, not extending either to the cell or the inner margin. Cilia white, except at the apex and 
the ends of the nervules, where they are black. Posterior wings black, with olivaceous reflections, crossed con- 
siderably beyond the middle by a band composed of five crimson spots, the first rounded, the second smaller, 
somewhat oval ; third oval, much larger, rather truncate externally ; fourth oval, rather smaller than the third : 
fifth quadrate ; between this band and the margin one or two small faint whitish clouds. Cilia white, except 
at the end of the teeth. 
“ Below, all the wings paler than above, without any olive lustre ; the spots of the posterior wings pale, 
darker externally ; the base of the anterior wings marked on the costa with a brilliant carmine spot, the cell with 
four black longitudinal vittae, the wdiite spot as above ; base of the posterior wings with three crimson spots, 
one on the costa, one in the cell, the third below the median nervure. Cell with three black longitudinal 
vittae. 
“ Head black, with two whitish lines in front and two spots of the same colour on the vertex. Thorax black, 
spotted with white above. Abdomen black, the sides spotted with white. 
“ Closely allied to P. IIus [P. Evagoras of this Catalogue], but easily distinguished by the different position 
and form of the white markings on the anterior wings, the want of the crimson in the diseoidnl cell below, and 
other less obvious characters.” — Ann. Nat. Hist.

Male. PI. VII. f. 1. — The primary wings deep black, with the summits clearer ; an oblique band of white, 
which commences from the inner margin, nearer the angle than the base, and extends to the first discoidal ner- 
vule, though it is but slightly apparent after the first median nervule. The secondary wings deep black, with 
the borders of the outer margin between the dentations white ; a transverse band of scarlet occupies a space 
between the anal angle and the discoidal nervule, which is composed of four distinct spots, that are separated by 
the nervules ; the one at the anal angle is the largest, the next two are equal and oblong, whilst the fourth is 
the smallest, of a lengthened oval. 
The under surface of the secondary wings deep bronzy black, with six rosy white spots, which are less in size 
than those of the upper side ; the base of the wing is ornamented with two scarlet spots.

Female. PI. XI. f. 3. — The primary wings black, with the summits clearer ; a white space in the middle 
of the wing, which is divided by the median nervure and by the base of the first and second median nervules into 
four spots ; that in the discoidal cell, and the one between the second discoidal and the first median nervules, are 
less apparent than the other two placed between the first and third median nervules ; the one between the 
second and third median nervules is the smaller of these two, and is rounded posteriorly. The secondary wings 
deep black, with the border of the outer margin between the dentations white ; a transverse band of seven 
distinct scarlet spots ; the two first from the inner margin are rather small and oblong ; the third and fourth are 
the largest, especially the former, and oblong ; the three next gradually decrease in size towards the anterior 
angle, but they are of a suboval form. 
The under surface of the primary wings brownish black, with the same white space that is seen on the upper 
side ; the base is ornamented with two scarlet spots. The under surface of the secondary wings brownish black, 
with the same formed spots that are presented on the upper side, but they are pink, with the anterior portion 
of the three largest pinkish white ; the base of the wing is spotted with scarlet.
