? Seychelles. — In his list of Dr. Abbott's collection, Dr. Holland describes * " one most 

 wretched specimen, from Mahe," under the name of Oegenes poutieri. It seems probable 

 that the specimen is referable to P. morella, a species which Dr. Holland appears to 

 have overlooked, as he omits it from his paper on African Hesperidse (quoted above) 

 written at about the same time. 



Distribution. — Madagascar.
