PEEIMELES. 543 



The antennae are half the length of the costa and have a rather stout club, terminating 

 in a long crook. The third joint of the palpi is short and bluntly conical. The 

 primaries are somewhat pointed at the tip and have the costa arched at the base ; the 

 cell is much less than two-thirds the length of the costa ; the discocellulars are oblique, 

 the upper one more than twice the length of the lower, the latter equal to the third 

 median segment ; the lower radial is depressed at the base ; the first branch arises near 

 the middle of the median nervure, the second not far from the lower angle of the cell. 

 The secondaries are slightly produced at the anal angle ; the discocellulars are faint 

 and strongly oblique. The body is moderately robust. The middle tibiae are spined, 

 the hind tibiae have two pairs of spurs. The femora and the hind tibiae are clothed 

 with long hairs. The primaries of the male have a conspicuous, curved, oblique 

 interrupted brand formed of three portions : (1) a long curved streak extending from 

 the base of the second median branch to the first at some little distance from its point 

 of origin ; (2) a short longitudinal one just below this ; (3) a transverse piece running 

 forward from the submedian nervure at a little before the middle, this latter not being 

 always distinct.

A very common insect in Central America, easily recognizable by the colour of the 

 underside of the wings. It varies greatly in size. Dr. Butler's type of P. justinoides, 

 which is now in our collection, is a female. We figure the underside of a male 

 example from Guatemala; also the fore wing, to show the position of the brand 

 (Tab. XCIX. fig. 2), and the genitalia, for which latter see Tab. XCIX. fig. 3.
