the npperside. 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 l,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 less 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. The secondaries 

 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 1 b 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.

Types in coll. Staudinger. 



Bab. Freetown (Preiss) ; Gaboon (Mocquerys). 



The male is labelled in the Staudinger collection P. Imcopyga, 

 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.
