with black ocelli pupilled with violaceous (the third ocellus much the 

 largest), and the seventh with two small lilaceous spots ; margin 

 edged with dark brown and tail tipped with whitish. 



Underside almost as in P. ussheri, Butl., but the white median 

 ba_nd narrow^er and the dark brown striae a little heavier. 



Habitat . — Bitye, Ja River, Cameroon s, 2000 ft. 



A strikingly distinct species, nearest to the same sex of 

 P. nsshcri, but the basal area of both wings greyish-white 

 instead of dark brown, the whole of the disc of the fore wings 

 fulvous instead of this colour, being divided into a stripe along 

 the outer edge of the median hand and a suhmarginal series of 

 spots, the dark brown discal area of hind wings reduced to a 

 series of lunules in place of a broad band, and the suhmarginal 

 spots of the same wings fulvous, not rufous or tawny. A second 

 specimen, without locality', is in the Tring Museum.

 wide even black band of about 2-5 mm. wide along hind margin 

 and costa, and extending basally to the inner margin. Cell, with 

 exception of very small area distally and posteriorly black ; a large 

 triangular black patch at cell-end. Hind wing with a slightly 

 narrower even black band, a narrow oblong black mark at end of 

 cell and basal black sharply-defined area in line with that on fore

One specimen also in British Museum from Ega. Also 

 occurs at Pehas. 



In the regularity of the black border this species most closely 

 resembles M. phareus, Cram.
