?. Oiily one specimen known, Kirby's figare, though bad like all figures in 

 that book, gives one nevertheless an idea of what fflaucescens looks like. The white 

 belt of the abdomen is far too jirominent in the figure, the belt not being more 

 distinct than it is in many individuals of 1'. litsca. The species resembles the form 

 tenebrosa of lusca, but is doubtless distinct. Thorax greenish yellow above, 

 side-tnfts of abdominal segments 5 and 6 white-tipped ; underside of body paler 

 than in P. Insra f. tenebrosa. Forewing, above, with a broad antemediau baud, 

 which is sharply defined distally as well as proxiraally ; stigma not distinct, exactly 

 at the edge of the baud ; brown snbmarginal line evenly curved, somewhat dilated 

 in middle, not augulate, beginning at costal margin about 2 mm. from tip of wing. 

 Hindwing without a trace of a yellow band, with a snbmarginal pink-buff patch before 

 anal angle. Distal border of wings below not brown ; submarginal line of forewing 

 more jiroximal than in lusca.

S ? . Head with a low mesial crest. Antenna slender in both sexes, not 

 clubbed, hook long, gradually tapering. Thorax mouse-grey, sides brown, the two 

 colours sharply separated, mesial line also brown. Forewing more variegated than 

 is Srsia ceculus, blackish subbasal band with a straight grey outer border ; a semi- 

 transi>arent discal spot R'— M', more distal than in Hesia ceculus and tantalus; 

 underside with ochraceous halfmoons in discal postcostal area, being the interspaces 

 of faintly marked brown lines, one or more such spots often also between M' and 

 (SM') ; these spots correspond to the semitransparent spots of Sesia fadus and
