 as on tlie inner niaiiiin. The middle line is faint, and ])asscs over tin; site of 

 the diseal spot. The onler line is nearly straight in its oltlifiiic course, not 

 sinuous, thouiili sometimes very slightly so, and is closely accompanied Ijy a 

 less distinct dark line, beyond which is a faint dusky shade reaching half-way 

 between the line and the edge ol the wing. A sIcmkUm', interrupted, marginal,

This interesting species, which by mistake I had referred to Semiotlma 

 {Mucaria), is in its venation and markings a tru(> riiusinne. It may l)e distin- 

 guished from P. nrillata by the more oblique and straight lines, the l)asal 

 not being curved, and the doul)le extradiscal not sinuous, while the wings 

 are narrower and the outer edge less full and rather more oblique.

2 S and 3 9. — This species is intermediat<! in l(>rm and styh- of mark- 

 ings between P. excurvaria and P. atrofasciata. Male antennt^i sinq)le, cili- 

 cated. The fore wings are not subfalcate, the co.sta being very straight; the 

 apex subacute and less convex than usual. On the other hand, the wings arc 

 broader than in P. atrofasciata, though of much the same shape. Body and 

 wings granite-gray, of the same tint as the above-named species. Fore wings 

 with two strongly-marked, conspicuous, heavy, black lines, the inn(;r curved 

 regularly outw^ard and situated on tin; inner third of the winy. The outer 

 (extradiscal) liiu; is sinuate, with a decided angle Ix-low tin; costal regu)n, 

 nearly opposite the diseal dot. A faint brown shadi; along the outer side 

 of the extradiscal line. A faint middle line including the small diseal dot, 

 which is a simple black dot, not forming a circle. A marginal series of elon- 

 gated linear spots, much as in P. atrofascixita. Hind wings concolorous with
