This species is said to be allied to P. Hneatus, Brulle, but to 

 differ in its unicolorous mesonotum and alar nervures, and in 



its darker antennae. It is similar 

 to P. testaceus but is decidedly 

 more nitidulous, smoother, and 

 always paler, with the notauli 

 much deeper and the stigma 

 much darker. There is a <$ 

 in the Pusa collection, which 

 certainly represents the opposite 

 sex of this species, though the 

 nervelet is wanting and Cameron 

 has given the barest outline of 

 its facies. This <5 has the head 

 extremely transverse with the 

 temples practically wanting pos- 

 Fi g 98. teriorly, the stigma is very dark 



Panisciisniffriventris, Brulle. red, the wings peculiarly ample, 



the thorax and abdomen un- 

 usually slender, with the basal segment sublinear, the tarsi are white, 

 and the lower basal nervure not much further than the upper from 

 the base of the wing ; all of which points distinguish it from the 

 common P. testaceus and P. occllaris. A second analogous male is 

 in the Oxford Museum and was taken in Ceylon by Templeton.
