Underside paler, more numerously covered with ferruginous scales; the markings as above; the fore wing also having a second marginal series of very small white spots, and a spot at the end of the cell. Expanse 4 inches. Moolai to Moolat, 4500 feet. In coll. J. Wood-Mason. A specimen, labelled " Eastern Bengal," from Mr. A. Grote's collection, of what I believe to be the female of P. mahadeva, differs from that sex of P. castor in the fore wings having very small and less-distinct submarginal white spots, no spot at the end of the cell, and no white speckles between the discal interspaces ; the hind wings on both sides also have tbe discal streaks shorter and confined to the middle of the wing, there being none either at the base or in the cell, thus forming a transverse medial band similar in position to that of the male above described ; the submarginal dentate marks are less defined.
