but below it are two others, the three forming a macu- 

 lose fascia; the apex as in the c? ; several of the trans- 

 verse veinlets much clouded. 



The (^ much resembles some forms of P. cognata in 

 its markings. There is a strong probability that this 

 is P. rtifodirima, Westwood {vide post, p. 68), and the 

 ? above noted agrees remarkably in its markings with 

 those of the S of that species, as described by Pro- 

 fessor Westwood ; yet both sexes want the large red 

 pterostigma from which the name was derived, that por- 

 tion of the wings being only more decidedly yellower in 

 M. Erber's examples. Under these circumstances, I 

 think it best to describe the species as distinct. The 

 abdominal characters are much as in P. germanica, but 

 the hump on the third segment is very much larger, and 

 the appendices of the last segment differ, although formed 

 after the same plan.

Of the same size as P. gnrmanica, and allied thereto. 

 The wings show a wedge-shaped spot extending from 

 the pterostigma half across the wing, with an elongate 

 spot on the inner margin, the two markings forming an 

 interrupted sab-apical fascia ; the apical spot small ; two 

 or three small spots in the basal half. Thii"d abdominal 

 segment (c?) not produced in the middle of the apical 

 margin above ; sixth as in germanica j seventh and eighth 

 conical, more elongate than in germanica, the seventh 

 slightly the longer ; appcaidices of terminal segment 

 long, linear, slightly dilated towards the apex, but not 

 truncate.

Middle and South of Finance, Pyrenees, Spain. 



A large species, with the wings very strongly marked 

 with deep black, and the veins also black : ordinarily 

 there is an isolated black spot in the middle of the base, 

 two large opposite spots before the middle (nearly form- 

 ing an interrupted fascia), a costal spot in the middle, a
