This is very nearly allied to P. rhamnafu of Kurope. My specimens are 

 all in bad condition, l)nl the species is so well marked as to l)e recognizable

Head as iu Philereme. Palpi much longer than in that genus, extending 

 far beyond the head ; third joint not easily distinguishable. Male antenna; 

 very finely ciliated. Fore wings short and broad; costa much arched toward 

 the rectangular ape.x; outer edge much less oblique than usual, deeply scal- 

 loped. Hind wings long, extending well beyond the end of the abdomen; 

 the inner edge long, with no ear or brush, the outer very deeply scalloped, 

 much more so than in any other genus of the sul)family, the points of the 

 scallops being very long and acute. Venation: \m\v\\ nti m Philereme ; the 

 inner subcostal cell much smaller than the outer. Hind legs as in Philereme.. 

 Abdomen long and slender, with lateral crests, and a well-marked, square, 

 long, anal tuft. Coloration : much as in Philereme. 



This genus differs from Philereme in the long palpi and abdomen, and 

 the very deep, sharp scallops in the hind wings espeeially. It comprises the 

 largest species of the subfamily.
