Male. Primaries pale brown, crossed about the middle by a white band, which does not reach the inner

Hab. Guatemata, Purula, San Gerénimo, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion) ; 
Costa Rica, Irazu 6000 to 70006 feet (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 
3000 feet, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 
This species is allied to P. creon, from which it is at once distinguished by having 
the small yellow spot close to the apex of the primaries, and the margins of the 
secondaries black. P. erymas appears to be the most common species of the genus, 
many examples having been received from the above-mentioned localities.
