Allied to P. coromana, Oberthiir, but differs in the white markings on the fore wing. Fore wing.--The two spots on the apical portion are more square in shape; the discal row of white spots, from the inner margin to the third median nervule, are larger in size and only separated by tbe brown nervules. Two spots, one in the cell, and the second between the third median and second radial nervules, close to tbe third discocellular nervule, are very distinctly marked. A sub-marginal row of white spots, commencing above the submedian nervure, and extending, between each nervule, to the third median nervule; these spots are rather more distinct than in P. cororaann. Hind wing: similar to that of the allied species, the submarginal row of white spots being more distinctly marked. Underside.-White spots more clearly defined, with the submarginal spots mentioned on the upperside well marked. The whole of the basal half of the hind wing white, wdth eight black spots at the base. A marginal border, pale brown, not so distinct as in P. coromana, and with a submarginal row of round white spots between each nervule. Expanse 2-7 inches. Hab. Walenso, Oct. 26,1894. |
