After a careful examination of the structure of this species, 
although it greatly exceeds in size any other species of Pardaleodes 
known to me, and the primaries are more pointed than in the type 
of the genus, I cannot find anything to justify its separation from 
Pardaleodes. With P. xanthioides, Holl., and P. wanthias, Mab., it 
forms a small sub-group in the genus.

This species is intermediate between P. ligora, Hew., and

¢. Allied closely to P. vibius, Hew. Instead, however, of 
having the reddish-orange spot on the primaries defined on the 
lower margin by vein 1, as in that species, this spot extends to the 
inner margin and likewise inwardly toward the base, being inter- 
rupted at the base by a linear patch of raised scales, extending 
along the-lower edge of the cell at the origin of vein 2. The 
secondaries also are paler on the upper surface, and are marked 
beyond the cell by an obscure series of yellowish spots. On the 
underside the wings are much paler than in vibius, the secondaries 
of which on the underside are uniformly black ; in this species 
they are ochraceous, clouded with fuscous and defined externally 
by a fine black marginal line. This may be a local form of vibius, 
but is sufficiently distinct to deserve description. Expanse 25 mm. 
Type in coll. Staudinger. 
Hab. Sierra Leone.
