(? ? . Palpns black. Mid- and hindtibiae of male slightly iucrassate and liairy, 

 foretiiiia spinose. Forewing without markings, except the more or less distinct 



white fringe-spots. Rindwing with a row of widely separate rounded spots 



nearer margin than cell, almost parallel to margin, tiie spots rather smaller and 

 paler beneath. 



Scent-organ : a streak of huffish white wool in fold, the streak narrower than 

 in P. vertumnus. 



Genitalia : S . Harpe long, straight, reaching to apical margin of clasper, and 

 bearing at the apex about half a dozen teeth ; no tooth in middle of ventral margin. 



Ilab. Interior of Brazil. The occurrence in Bolivia requires confirmation ; 

 Mr. Schaus did not receive the specimen described by him direct from Bolivia, 

 but from a correspondent who has been a resident of Ilio de Janeiro. The species 

 is very interesting, being an exact counterpart of P. paiitlionit.i iiiiimi, which also 

 occurs in Brazil.

S. Palpus black, rarely red. Eighth abdominal segment edged with red 

 beneath. Tibiae and first tarsal segment hairy above, very slightly iucrassate. 

 Forewing : a sage-green patch from inner margin to M' or R', separated from 

 cell, often reduced to a narrow band; fringe dotted with white; sometimes two 



small creamy white spots M' — (SM'), on underside occasionally four spots. 



liindwing : three opalescent red spots R- — M- close to cell, often preceded by a 

 dot or streak R' — R- and followed by a narrow streak M- — (SM'). 



¥ . Palpns black or red. Apex of eightli abdominal segment and of seventh 

 sternite red. Forewing without white patch ; fringe dotted with white. Baud of 

 hindwing red, sometimes rather strongly opalescent, the red scales being in this 

 case nearly all entire, while the red non-opalescent scales are obtusely bidentate ; 

 the number of spots varying from five to seven, their size being also variable, the 

 band not touching cell, but standing sometimes close to it ; last two spots usually 

 merged together. 



Ncnration, scent-organ and genitalia essentially as in P. laci/r/cs ; in female the 

 postvaginal plate more triangular, the iucrassate edge being mesially dilated into a 

 rather prominent tubercle which is a little curved backwards. 



Early stages not known.
