@. Head and thorax usually suffused with fuscous. Palpi with terminal 
joint more or less irrorated with dark fuscous except towards apex. Forewings 
usually almost wholly suffused with light fuscous and irrorated with dark 
fuscous; markings asin @, Hindwings and cilia grey, 
Madulsima, Maskeliya, Patipola, Ceylon (Vaughan, Pole, Alston); from 
December to June; twenty-five specimens. There is considerable variability 
in the development of the dark suffusion, and the sexes are normally dissimi- 
lar, the Q being so much darker, but the darkest @ is hardly distinguishable 
from the lightest Q. Nearly all my examples are from Madulsima, where 
Mr. Vaughan takes the species in plenty. P. placida, which occurs with it, 
is smaller, and can always be distinguished by the pointed forewings.
