witli chocolate-brown. The outer half of the 

 wing is chocolate-brown, darker on the side 

 toward the base, the outline of the darker 

 area being produced inwardly just opposite 

 the end of the cell. Opposite this inward 

 indentation on the outer margin is a biackish 

 spot. The fringes are whitish, checkered 

 with pale fuscous. The secondaries are pale 

 fuscous with the fringes paler. On the under 

 side, both wings are fuscous, the primaries 

 somewhat .darker than the secondaries, 

 having the costa near the ape.K laved with 

 pale ochreous. E.\panse, 17 to 20 mm.

 with the first joint white; the second joint 

 black, marked with a circular white spot on 

 the side; third joint white tipped with black. 

 The front pure white ; vertex tufted with dark 

 brown in front. Posterior portion of vertex 

 fawn. The collar is fawn, margined before 

 and behind with dark brown. The patagia 

 are brown with the extremities tipped with 

 fawn. The upper side of the thorax is fawn, 

 marked posteriorly with a V-shaped black 

 mark. The upper side of the abdomen is 

 pale plumbeous; the lower side of the thorax 

 and the abdomen are pale ochraceous. Legs 

 concolorous, with the tibiae of the first pair 

 at their end tipped with dark brown. The 

 piimaries on the upper side are marked with 

 an exceedingly intricate series of fine brown 

 lines on the limbal area enclosing silvery 

 triangular spots, five or six in number. 

 Toward the base on the costa is a large sil- 

 ver}' yellow spot separated from a similar 

 smaller spot on the inner margin by a dark 

 brown spot, which forms the nexus, or point 

 of coalition of deep black geminate incom- 

 plete transverse sub-basal and submedian 

 lines. Before the apex and near the outer 

 angle are a number of deep black spots suc- 

 ceeded before the middle of the outer margin 



by three chalky-white subhastate spots on a 

 pale fawn ground, which is defined inwardly 

 by two fine semi-lunate lines. The outer 

 margin is punctuated with small triangular 

 dark spots interpolated on the middle of the 

 margin by two similar white spots. The 

 secondaries are uniformly pale fuscous. On 

 the under side, both wings are fuscous with 

 the primaries darker. The inner margin of 

 the primaries is shining stramineous. Ex- 

 panse, 38 mm. Habitat Bul^ Country, West 

 Africa. 



This exquisite moth is represented in my 

 collection by a single male specimen in 

 almost perfect preservation. It is the most 

 beniitiful insect of the genus.

 121. P. Menalciis, sp. nov. 5- Allied to 

 P. soliliiria, Holl. Palpi with the first 

 joint brown; last two joints white; front 

 and vertex very pale fawn. The collar 

 cinereous, margined in front with black. 

 Patagia and upper side of thorax very pale 

 olivaceous-green. Metathorax dark brown. 

 Upper side of abdomen pale olive-green. 

 Lower side of thorax and abdomen obscure 

 fuscous with a lilacine tint. On the side of 

 the abdomen just back of the thorax is a 

 dark brown lunate mark follo^ved near the 

 anal extremity by a dark brown lateral 

 streak, from which three transverse brown- 

 ish lines range upwardly along the sides of 

 the last three segments. There are some 

 exceedingly minute brown dots along the 

 median line of the abdomen on the upper 

 side. Legs whitish, with the tibiae of the 

 anterior pair and the extremities of the 

 tibiae of the last two pairs marked with dark 

 brown. The primaries have the base pale 

 olive-green, this green area being separated 

 from the rest of the wing by a broad oblique 

 sub-basal line of rich maroon, which runs 

 from the costa a little before the middle 

 inwardly to the inner margin just before the 

 base. This broad line is defined inwardlv
