blackish spots on head, one at apex of thoracic projection, and a row 

 on each side of abdomen, about half-way between middle and lateral 

 margin. 



Described from two specimens (which yielded a ^ and a ? of Porihaon), 

 brought from Dehxgoa liay by ]\Irs. ]\b)iileiro in July 1886, The butierllies 

 did not emerge till the following l)ecend)er, and were both dwarfs. Other 

 pupa; of tliis species ami of P. Cohmna, Ward, which were taken on to Eng- 

 land by i\rrs. Monteiro, appear to have come out very satisfactorily in the 

 Insect House at the Zoological Society's Gardens. 



This butterfly was originally dcscrihcd by Ilewitson from Zarnbesian speci- 

 mens of the c?. Mr. VjuHgv {A7m. and Mag. Nat. Hid., 4th Ser., xix. pp. 458 

 and 460, 1877) mentions that many specimens of it and the allied P. Ni/asso} 

 ■were contained in a collection made at Lake Nyassa. It appears to occur 

 extra-tropically only at Delagoa Bay, where Mrs. Monteiro informs me it is 

 common.

 wanting in hind-wing ; common basal stripe yellowish-tinged ; common 

 sub-basal stripe much as in Policencs, but attenuated to a point at each 

 extremity. Fore-iving : first very narroio, cdmost straight, disco-cellular bar 

 prolonged to imur margin on to suhmedian nervure (ivith a small separate 

 spot immediately Moiv the nervure) ; second disco-cellular bar still nar-

 upper part of cell, almost at extremity, very small or wanting ; in discal 

 band upper four spots almost as in Foliccnes, but excavated externally, 

 hut the remaining three {especially the sixth and seventh) greatly reduced 

 and narrowed, quUe separate, and situated so as to deflect the lower piart 

 of the hand to posterior angle (instead of inwardly, as in the three allied 

 species above described); last spot of this band very narrow, and 

 appearing like an enlarged eighth spot in submarginal series; seven 

 spots of this series as in Forthaon, but narrower. Hind-iving : only
