which extends along this margin about its middle. In addition, there are 

 near the outer angle three submarginal greenish purple spots. The sec- 

 ondaries are greenish purple from the base two-thirds of the distance to 

 the outer margin, which is heavily bordered with maroon. These wings 

 are also crossed by a narrow, irregularly curved, transverse median line. 

 Underside : primaries sooty, margined externally with bluish, and laved 

 near the apex with bright ferruginous. The secondaries are ferruginous, 

 with the costa marked with bluish black. Both primaries and secondaries 

 are traversed by a narrow transverse median line. Expanse 34 mm. 



5. P. obscura sp. nov. r?. Antennae, front, thorax and abdomen pale 

 ferruginous ; lowerside of thorax and abdomen bright ochraceous. 



Upperside : primaries pale ferruginous profusely marked with brownish 

 spots and striae. Secondaries, like the primaries, traversed by a broad, 

 diffuse median band running from the costa across the end of the cell to 

 the middle of the inner margin. 



Underside : bright ochraceous, clouded near the apex of the primaries 

 and on the outer margin of the secondaries with brown ; both wings 

 traversed by an obscure purplish transverse line, which extends from the 

 apex of the primaries to the middle of the inner margin of the second- 

 aries. Both wings are marked with spots and striae as upon the upper- 

 side. Expanse 45 mm. 



6. P. partita sp. nov. (^.Antennae testaceous ; front and thorax ferru- 

 ginous ; upperside of abdomen fawn ; lowerside of thorax, abdomen, and 

 legs bright ochraceous. 



Upperside : primaries and secondaries uniformly reddish fawn, with the 

 outer margins broadly softened with grayish. This pale outer area is 

 divided from the darker inner area by an obscure geminate blackish line, 

 which runs from before the apex of the primaries to the inner margin of 

 the secondaries, terminating here two-thirds of the distance from the base. 

 There is a small black discal dot on the primaries. 



Underside : the primaries are dark ferruginous, except on the costa 

 near the base, where they are bright ochraceous. The secondaries are 

 bright reddish ochraceous. The dark transverse line of the upper surface 

 reappears on the underside, but more obscurely, and there is a faint dis- 

 cal dot at the end of the cell in both wings. Expanse 45 mm. 



7. P. subsplendens sp. nov. rT. Antenna? brownish ; front brown ; col- 

 lar greenish ; upperside of thorax dark olivaceous ; upperside of abdo- 

 men brownish olivaceous ; underside of thorax and abdomen bright 

 greenish yellow ; legs tinged with rosy. 



Upperside : primaries pale olive, with darker marks and cloudings. A 

 dark olive ray runs along the costa of the primaries and is produced to 

 the outer margin below the apex. There is a reddish transverse basal 

 and transverse linibal line and a small dark brown discal dot at the end 

 of the cell. The transverse linibal line of the primaries is produced as a 

 broader curved line upon the secondaries, the ground color of which is like 

 that of the primaries, save on the costa, where it is replaced by pale yellow.
