from which it may at once be distinguished by its much 

 greater size. The neuration of hiud-wing resembles that 

 of the genus Mimacrxa, inasmuch as the subcostal neivules 

 are on a long stalk, but the presence of the prsecostal 

 nervure serves to separate it from that genus. It is very 

 curious that this species should bear such a strong super- 

 ficial resemblance to AcHnote, a South American genus of 

 the Acrseinse.

 Upper-side. — Fore-wing fulvoup, witli broad black margin, Uie 



inner edge of wliicli is dentate towards inner margin ; cost a black isli ; 

 two small black spots above and towards end of cell, and a large 

 round black spot at end of cell. Hind-wing fulvous, paler at inner

 margin narrowly black, niarginal black streaks in interspaces, de- 

 creasing in length towards anal angle. Hind-wing fulvous, outer 

 margin narrowly black with marginal streaks as in fore-wing, two 

 very small black spots near base, a large round black spot below costal 

 nervure not far from base, and a similar but somewhat larger spot at 

 end of cell.

Nearly allied to P. paidi, Stgr., from which it differs in 

 the total absence of discal spots below and in the sub- 

 costal spot of the hind-wing below being larger than the 

 cellular spot.
