74. DR. W. J. HOLLAND ON THE AFRICAN [Jan. 14, 
the upperside. The uppersides of the head, thorax,and abdomen are 
black, with the anal extremity of the abdomen white tipped with 
a tuft of black hairs. The palpi and the pectus on the lower side 
are white. The lower side of the thorax is grey. The lower side 
of the abdomen is black annulated with white. The primaries on 
the upperside are black. The cilia on the primaries are black 
marked with white at their extremities near the outer angle. The 
cilia of the secondaries are white, very conspicuously so near the 
anal angle. The primaries are marked with two subapical spots 
in the usual position, two elongated minute spots on the cell near 
its end, one on its upper margin and one on its lower, and by a 
transverse discal series of four spots, of which the one on interval 1 
is minute and subtriangular, situated on vein 1, the spot on interval 
2 is subquadrate, excavated externally, and separated from the 
other spot in the cell by the median nerve. Beyond this spot 
on intervals 3 and 4 are two smaller spots. The secondaries are 
crossed about the middle by an irregularly-curved series of five 
or six white semi-translucent spots. On the underside, the 
primaries are black, darkest at the base. There is a fine white 
costal ray near the base. The spots of the upperside reappear, 
but Jess distinct than on the upperside, and above and beyond 
the spot on interval 1 is a white curved ray uniting on its curved 
upper margin the twolower spots of the discal series. Thesecondaries 
are black, most conspicuously so in the region of the anal angle. 
The inner margin and the outer margin from the outer angle to 
the extremity of vein 2 are sprinkled with grey scales, and the 
nerves are likewise clothed with grey scales, causing them to be 
picked out distinctly upon the dark background. The white discal 
series of spots reappears on the underside, the terminal spot of 
the series located on vein 16 being the most conspicuous, whereas 
on the upperside it is least conspicuous and appearing as a large 
triangular white patch. 
@. The female is like the male, but with broader and more 
rounded wings. 
Expanse, d 28mm., 9 30 mm. 
Types in coll. Staudinger. 
Hab, Freetown (Preiss) ; Gaboon (Mocquerys). 
The male is labelled in the Staudinger collection P. leucopyga, 
Ploetz, but this determination is wholly in error. Leucopyga of 
Ploetz is an Acleros and a wholly different insect. This species is 
closely related to P. moritili and its allies.
