Expands 1.16 to 1*40 in. Very close to Alciphron, but tlie 
wings are copper in both sexes. The male has a tinge of violet, 
which is slight when compared with the deep violet colour of the 
last species. The female is light copper, without any violet tinge. 
Both sexes have well-marked black or dark violet spots on all the 
wings. The under side is very similar to that of P. Alciphron, but 
somewhat warmer in colour, and the black spots are larger.

Expands 0‘90 to 1‘08 in. The male has all the wings very 
dark hrown, with black spots arranged as in the last species, 
except that the inner-marginal spot on the fore wings is wanting. 
All the wings have a marginal row of faint orange spots generally 
present. The female is larger than the male. The fore wings are 
copper-coloured, with black spots arranged as in the last species, 
except that there are two rows of spots running parallel to the hind 
margin. The hind wings, which, though slightly emarginate 
towards the anal angle in both sexes, are more so in the female, 
are dark brown, with a hind-marginal band of the colour of the 
fore wings, and enclosing a row of black spots. The under side is 
grey, tinged with yellow in the male, and with orange in the 
female ; all the wings are spotted with black, and have orange 
hind-marginal bands. PI. XXI., 3. 
Times of Appearance. — The greater part of the year, from
