furcation rounded. A round, velvety, sexual band occupies the 

 centre of the secondaries in the case of the male. 



Underside: The lower side of the wings is as the upper, save 

 that the costa of both the primaries and secondaries is washed 

 with ochreous. Palpi pale gray beneath. 



The female does not differ from the male, except in having a 

 small lanceolate hyaline spot on the middle of the upper side of 

 the submedian vein in the primaries. Expanse 9,45111111.; 9, 

 48 mm. 



Hab. Ogove Valley, Benita. Type in coll. Holland. 



I name this species after the Benga, a tribe on the mainland 

 near Benita. 



6. P. balenge n. sp. 



One of the largest species of the genus. 



Upperside: Head, thorax, abdomen and wings, rich dark 

 brown throughout, only fading a little at the apical extremity of 

 the primaries into paler brown. Anterior wings ornamented as 

 follows: at the costa, about one-third from the tip of the wings, 

 there is a subapical series of four small white hyaline spots, the 

 first of which is short, the second elongated, the third like the 

 first, and the fourth, which is slightly removed from the rest, 

 small and quadrate. There are, further, four large yellow hyaline 

 spots, the largest, which is quadrilateral at the end of the cell, 

 and the other three, which are subquadrate, arranged in a series 

 upon the limbal area, on the interspaces between the median 

 nervules. Upon the posterior wings there is a triangular spot of 

 the same color as those upon the disc of the primaries located 

 beyond the end of the cell. 



Underside: The ground color is fuscous, clouded at the base 

 of the primaries and upon the secondaries by dark brown. The 

 spots of the upper surface all reappear upon the lower side, and 

 there are in addition the following markings: Upon the primaries 

 at the base upon the costa a white spot, beyond it about one-third 

 of the distance from the base a white mark, at the middle of the 

 costa above the large quadrate hyaline spot in the cell two small 

 sagittate white marks, and at the apex a series of poorly denned 

 lunulate marks also white; upon the secondaries there are two 

 very small and indistinct white spots at the base, one small and 

 sharply defined spot on the disc between the costal and subcostal
