shade lighter than ground color. Midway between the last mentioned line and 

 the base, is another line, starting at costa and running only across discoidal 

 space. 



The basal half of under side of hind wing is dead brown, the same as fore 

 wing. The lines of fore wing are repeated, but more prominently, the brick 

 red being tawny and broader. The line one-eighth inch within hind margin is 

 very wavy, the points extending baseward at centre of each interspace. The 

 line one-quarter inch within this is reddish brown and suffuses downward on 

 each nervule in a decided manner. The inner side of this line from a point 

 opposite end of discoidal space down to inner margin, is heavily bordered with 

 yellow which suffuses generously upward as it approaches anal angle, the suffu- 

 sion being more brownish. The space between these last mentioned lines is a 

 dead silver with prominent ocelli in each interspace. These ocelli have a black 

 centre with a white dot, then a delicate circle of yellowish and, inclosing all, a 

 delicate thread of reddish brown. 



The type was taken near Bogota. It closely resembles P. decorata 

 Feld., but the suffusion at anal angle area of lower wing underneath 

 is more yellowish. The ocelli of lower wing underneath are bordered 

 by a delicate thread of reddish brown, instead of a generous and 

 suffusing border as in P. decorata.
