There are two specimens contained in the Staudinger collection 

 in which the markings on the underside of the secondaries are 

 quite obscure, and the general coloration of these wings on the 

 underside is paler. I propose the name pallida for this varietal 

 form.

Mr. Wiitson has properly cited P. gisgon, Mab., as the female 

 of P. ignita, Mab. All the specimens of P. ignita I have ever 

 seen, some fifty or more, have been males, and all of P. gisgon have 

 been females. I bad an opportunity of seeing the type of P. gisgon, 

 and of pointing out to Mons. Mabille that it is a female. In the 

 'Novitates' he cites it in the plate as of this sex. On the under- 

 side P. ignita and P. gisgon agree very well. There are two forms, 

 probably seasonal, one smaller and more tawny, the other longer 

 and darker. Both are represented in my collection and that of 

 Dr. Staudinger.

The type I saw in the collection of Mons. Mabille. The species 

 is not contained either in my own collection or tliat of Dr. Stau- 

 dinger. The figure in the plate was drawn from the type.
