Hopffer states that the types of this species were males. From 
the figure, I should say that they were females. The figure repre- 
sents apparently a dwarfed female of P. edipus, and closely resembles 
such which I have from Gabvon.

There is not a particle of doubt of the correctness of the above 
synonymy. Ihave specimens taken én coitu of the male and female 
of this species. The males have been repeatedly determined for 
me as P. festus by Mons. Mabille, and agree perfectly with the 
figure he gives. The females agree with Ploetz’s type of P. reiche- 
nowi, which is preserved at the Berlin Museum, and is represented 
in the plate accompanying this paper.

$. Primaries deep black, slightly clothed with greenish scales 
near the base. The wing is marked with eleven spots as follows :— 
two small oval spots at the end of the cell, one above each other, 
and above them a minute linear spot; three small oval subapical 
spots forming a series curving inwardly ; a small round spot in 
interval 4; a triangular spot in interval 3; a large subquadrate 
spot in interval 2; (these three spots form a transverse series 
running inwardly towards the margin). The large spot is followed 
in interval 1 by a triangular orange-yellow spot, diminishing 
towards the inner margin. There is also an obscure orange- 
yellow spot in interval 1 towards the base. All the spots are 
translucent, except the two in interval 1, which are opaque. 
The secondaries are bright orange-yellow, paler than in P. festus, 
with the costal margin and outer angle broadly black. The cell 
.near the base and the inner margin are clothed with fuscous 
hairs. 
On the underside, the primaries are blackish, the spots of the
