secondaries, being, in fact, as distinctly marked as the females of P. nigrella. We think, 
too, that in all probability P. lutescens is found in a rather higher range of country. 
Like its ally it is very local, but has been found in the widely separated districts of 
Purula and the slopes of the Cerro Zunil. At present we have only seen five 
specimens, four males and one female.

Described from a single rubbed specimen in Van Patten’s Costa-Rica collection 1. 
Since then we have received a good series from Mr. Rogers, most of them in good 
condition, one of which we have figured. P. niveonotis is obviously allied to P. nigrella 
and P. lutescens, differing from the latter in having the yellow markings of the wings 
replaced by white. Like its allies it, too, appears to have a very restricted range.

Of this species we have as yet only seen the type, which was formerly in Mr. Druce’s 
collection, and was supplied to him by M. Boucard. Its nearest ally seems to be 
P. orthia (Hew.) of Brazil and Paraguay.
