nervule ; some black specks on tlie margin below the apex. Hind wing white, with a large 

 black spot at the end of the cell ; two indistinct diisky waved postmedial lines which meet at 

 the middle and become faint towards the anal angle ; on the apical half of the margin are

 men with the end of each segment white. 



Closely allied to P. hartoghialis, Snell., from New Guinea, from which it differs in having 

 the two transverse lines of the fore wing closer together, and in wanting the white blotch on
