have the anterior wings frequently adorned with raised metallic spots 

 on a fulvesccnt ground, and the entire body is more or less of a 

 metallic splendour ; but from them they differ in having the palpi 

 incurved, and the anterior wings more linear and elongate. The 

 larvas feed on the inner substance of leaves, like those of the allied 

 genera, and not upon the surface.

Anterior wings dull testaceous, with a black fascia towards the base, and 

 another in the middle, a transverse black spot near the hinder angle, and an 

 oblique line towards the apex ; all changing- to silver according to the 

 direction of the light ; posterior wings and all the cilia fuscous ; antennae

" Fuscous ; superior (anterior) wings ochreous-orange, with seven embossed 

 silver spots on each." — Curtis, I- c, who adds, " This species is distinguished 

 from the following (P. Leuwenhoekella) by its considerably larger size, the 

 antennae are entirely fuscous, the orange of the superior wings is rather of a 

 different tint, and the silver spots towards the apex are not of the same 

 form." 



Taken, but rarely, near London, at the end of June.

"Wings bright orange above, a mark at the base clubbed at both ends, and a 

 semifusiform one on the costa beyond the middle black, metallic in the 

 middle like steel, a line at the basal angle, a large square spot on the inferior 

 (inner) margin, and a sinuated fimbria, black, tinged with purple; inferior 

 wings reddish orange, freckled with black." — Curtis, I. c.
