Exp. al, {$) I in. 1-2 lin. ; ($) i in. 3-4 lin. 



$ Pale dull-brown, ivith some sparse yelloioish scaling over hasal and 

 inner-marginal areas ; in both icings a discal series of transparent spots ; 

 cilia greyish, mixed with broivn in fore-wing, and with yelloivish-hroivn 

 on hind-iDing. Fore-iving : longitucliually-elongated transparent spot 

 in upper part of discoidal cell at a little distance before extremity ; 

 discal series of five spots arranged in the usual positions, viz., two 

 minute ones transversely on subcostal nervules, about midway between 

 extremity of cell and apex, and three in a very oblique series between 

 lower radial and first median nervules, the first being minute, the 

 second larger, and the third of a good size (the two latter elongate 

 longitudinally and excised externally) ; yellowish scaling best developed 

 on costa near base, more faintly and narrowly along inner margin. 

 Hind-wing : spots of discal series small, situated transversely between 

 second subcostal and first median nervules, the first and third project- 

 ing considerably beyond the second and fourth ; sparse yellowish scaling 

 and hairs prevalent over discoidal cell and inner-marginal area. Under 

 SIDE. — Hind-iving and costal border, and rather ivide apical area of fore- 

 wing, rather dull greenish-yellow. Fo7'e-iving : transparent spots as on 

 upper side ; ground-colour dark-grey, becoming much paler at and near 

 posterior angle. Hind-iving : transparent spots considerably smaller 

 than on upper side, and bounded externally by dark-brownish, some- 

 times almost obsolete ; inner- marginal fold grey ; an ill-defined grey 

 spot marking extremity of cell. 



^ Quite like ^, except that the yellowish scaling is more inconspi- 

 cuous in both wings. Under side. — Yellow much duller, and with a 

 more decidedly greenish cast. Hind-iving : transparent spots on disc 

 larger and better defined. 



Although so much smaller, this species is nearly related to F. 

 Mohopaani, (Wallengr.), and to P. Borbonica, (Boisd.). The $ bears a 

 very considerable resemblance, in size and colour as well as in pattern, 

 to the $ P. Hottentota, (Latr.), but may easily be known by her quite 

 transparent discal spots, without any yellow tint, and duller under side, 

 with small vitreous spots on the disc instead of large contiguous elon- 

 gate yellow spots. The $, being closely similar to the ^, is of course
