This species differs from P. neavei by its smaller size, and 

 from it and the other African species by the unicolorous 

 claval area and absence of black margin to same. The three 

 specimens which have served for the above description were 

 delivered to the British Museum by the executors of Dr. Wel- 

 witsch, as from the King of Portugal, in accordance with a 

 decree of the High Court Judicature, November 1875.
