$ . White ; ivith black margins. Fore-wing : a black 

 band on hind-margin, broad at apex, and narrowing to a 

 point at anal angle,' its inner edge irregularly dentate ; a row 

 of elongate white spots, from four to seven in number, m 

 this hind-marginal band, lessening in size towards anal angle, 

 but not extending below third median nervnle ; a small black 

 spot at extremity of discoidal cell. Hind-ioing : hind-mar- 

 gin with a black border, enclosing four rather large white 

 spots, two or three of which are rarely indistinct ; m some 

 specimens, an irregular black mark on costa before apex (as 

 in P. Creona) ; very rarely a thin blackish line at extremity 

 of discoidal cell. Under-side.— Very similar in marking. 

 Fore-iving : spots in black margin lemon-yellow ;_ costa 

 edged with black ; a projection from this black edging in a 

 line with the disco-cellular dot. Hind-ioing : ground-colour 

 lemon-yellow ; costa near base tinged with chrome -yellow ; 

 nervures all more or less clouded with black scales ; black 

 mark on costa conspicuous ; a similar transverse black mark 

 from insertion of first median nervule to about middle of 

 submedian nervure, crossed by a longitudinal streak from 

 median nervure not far from base to near anal angle; 

 hind-marginal band containing five spots of the ground- 

 colour, the additional spot being close to anal angle. Fringes 

 white-spotted between nervules. 



? . Varies from pale lemon-yelloiv to pale ochreous-yellow ; 

 hind-marginal black bands very broad. Fore-ioing : two or 

 three yellow spots in band, close to apex ; costa black-edged, 

 a projection of black from it at extremity of discoidal cell 

 sometimes almost touches disco-cellular spot, whicJi is rounder 

 and generally rather larger than in $ . Hind-wing .• costal 

 spot united to hind-marginal band, which slightly radiates on 

 the nervules, and contains a single yellowish spot close to 

 apex; disco-cellular streak distinct. Underside.— Ton^^ 

 from lemon-yellotv to rich chrome-yellow. Fore-iinng : 

 ground-colour some tint of yellow between the two shades 

 mentioned ; sufi'used from base with orange or orange-yellow ; 

 usually, seven spots in hind-marginal band. Hind-iving : 

 very like $ , but often of a deeper yellow ; nervures more 

 broadly and universally clouded with black; six or seven 

 spots in hind-marginal band. 



"In woods at Kuysua."— (Miss Wentworth.) 

 "October, I860; A\ignst, 1S61."— D'Urban in litt. 

 I never saw this species at theKnysna; but it appears to be common 

 tliere in some seasons. I received several specimens from that locality, 

 taken in the month of March, 1860.
