• 2 <?. — This fine species belongs near P. albolineata, l)ut is much larger, 

 though in the form of the bead, palpi, antennfe, and wings it i.s nearly the 

 same. The ground-color of the body and wings is blackish-brown. Head 

 yellowish-white on the vertex and at the tips of the palpi. Thorax with 

 three linear, whitish stripes. Al)domen ringed with white, and the anal 

 tuft tawny-white. Fore wings blackish-brown, with an inner line directed 

 obliquely outward and bent at right angles on the internal vein, where it 

 touches the second double line, which is parallel to the l>asal as far as the 

 bend in the latter, thus inclosing a larg(\ square, l)lack patch, one side of 

 which rests on the costa, while there is a triangular dark spot on the inner 

 edge of the wing; the middle of the wing is oc('upied by a large square 

 patch connecting with a round patch on the-inner edge, this round spot 

 being nearly cut oft' from the black jnitch by the points projecting from the 

 two opposite lines; the outer (extradi.-^cal) line forms a nearly rectangular
