increased so much that the creamy-white ground-colour is reduced to a few large spots or to three transverse 
bands. Celebes. — conflictalis Wkr. differs from the type by the light yellow colour of the head and thorax, 
as well as by the light yellow ground-colour of the forewing being reduced to 3 large macular rows or trans¬

of large and small, white marginal spots. Hindwing carmine with a median band of black spots and a sub¬ 
marginal band of large, black spots. — ab. flaveola ab. nov. has reddish-yellow, instead of carmine hindwings

occupying the distal third of the wing and enclosing several yellow spots. Length of forewing: 23, 
$29 mm. Bombay (India). —- rubeliana Swinh. (25 a) differs from the type by the narrower white bands of the 
forewing, and the red instead of yellow colour of the abdomen and of the hindwing. South India.

P. williami Rothsch. (24 f). head black, between the black antennae white; thorax black; tegulae
