P. punctata Leech (59c) differs in facies entirely from the other species of the genus, bearing above on a black ground whitish violet spots, which recall Hypolimnas misippus as in the case of Limenitis albomaculata . The underside is brownish, markings similar as above, but broader, and the discal spot of the hindwing is enlarged to a broad band. The female (61c) is essentially different, the brownish markings on a dark ground more bearing the general character of the genus. — Central China: Chang-Yang; West China: Ta-tsien-lu, Moupin. [2]
