This species differs from the following, P. ortho- 

 carpi, in its whiter head, in the unicolorous brown 

 fringes of j:he lobes of the hind wings, and in the 

 cinereous hnid legs, which have not the same con-

 straighter at its outer margin [i. e. less produced out- 

 wards) ; the apex and the ground-colour of the fore 

 wings bluish white
