 it closely resembles. The antenna? and palpi as in that species. Jiody and 

 wings of the usual color in this genus, l)eing mouse-ash, like /'. ni'jitatu, and 

 finely speckled with blackish: the specks often transversely lineai\ Fore

 The line is regularly curved instead oi' straight, as in P. neptata, and does 

 not quite reach the costa. Discal spot large, round, sitiuitecl nearer the outer 

 than the inner line. The outer line more sinuate than usual in the izenus, 

 curving outward opposite the discal spot, and inward below the third median 

 venule; the line is moderately broad, the inner two-thirds tawny or snuH- 

 browii, tlfe outer dull-yellowish. .V fiiiut, dusky, ditl'use line, situated half- 

 w-ay between the outer line and the outer edge of the wing, begins on the 

 costa and ends in the extradi.scal space. A marginal row of black dots.
