In the plate h'gs. 13 and 14 show white spots near the costa of 

 the primaries, beyond the base, and in fig. 13 there are white 

 spots near the costa at the base of the secondaries: these are 

 pin-holes in the wings of the specimen, and must not be taken 

 into account when studying the figure. I did not have an oppor- 

 tunity to retouch the plate and stop them out. 



9. P. melphis sp. nov. $ Antennae black, paler beneath. The palpi 

 are brown, edged below with the yellowish. The thorax and abdomen 

 are dark brown, sparingly clothed with greenish hairs. The upperside of 

 the primaries is black, clothed with greenish hairs at the base. There are 

 two small subapical spots, and a transverse limbal series of five translu- 

 cent spots, the first exceedingly minute; the second subquadrate; the 

 third and tourth, which are also subquadrate, are the largest in the series, 

 and are closer to each other than the other spots; the lowermost spot of 

 the series, which rests upon the middle of the submedian vein, is small 

 and nearly oval. The secondaries on the upperside are black, with a 

 light vestiture of greenish hairs at the base and on the inner margin. The 

 fringes are narrow and whitish. This wing is crossed about the middle, 

 beyond the cell, by an irregularly curved band of translucent spots, ex- 

 tending from the first subcostal to' the internal vein. Both wings, on the 

 underside, are brownish ferruginous. The spots of the upperside reap- 

 pear. The small oval spot, which forms the last member of the trans- 

 verse limbal series of the upperside, is represented upon the lowerside by 

 a large, brilliantly-white lunate spot, which is opaque, except on its inner 

 margin, where it coincides with the oval mark of the upper surface. The 

 median band of spots on the secondaries is reinforced by a small brilliantly- 

 white opaque spot at its outer extremity above the first subcostal nervule, 

 and the inner spot contiguous to the internal vein is larger than upon the 

 upperside, brilliantly white and opaque, except where it coincides with 

 the small translucent spot of the upperside of the wing. Expanse 35 mm.

This species in some respects resembles P. statira Mab., ac- 

 cording to the published description; but Mons. Mabille, who 

 has seen the type, declares it to be a species unknown to him 

 and quite distinct from his P. statira.
