108 MEMOIRS NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. vol. xii, 



Canad. Entom., XXXII (1900), p. 236.] [I have examined this species, the type of the 

 genus, in the United States National Museum. The moths are very large, with the anterior 

 wings pointed apically in the manner of P. pamina. The ocellus of hind wings is very large 

 and has a lightning-like white streak. The sexes are not very different. Comparing the 

 antennae, venation, etc., I find no generic difference from A. io.]
