This insect is larger than P.smilax, but resembles it extremely in its upper side.
The underside, however, is different, as the extremity of the upper wings and the whole of the under wings are of a fawn colour. The underside of the lower wings is also sprinkled with some grey atoms, and marked obscurely with a fuscous band under two points. 145.
Euplaea chrysippus.
