Hah. Querimba, East Africa (Ilopffer). 



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 Gaboon.

There is not a particle of doubt of the correctness of the above 

 synonymy. I have specimens taken in coitu of the male and female 

 of this species. The males have been repeatedly determined for 

 me as P. festus by Mens. Mabille, and agree perfectly with the 

 figure he gives. The females agree with Ploetz's type of P. reiche- 

 noivi, which is preserved at the Berlin Museum, and is represented 

 in the plate accompanying this paper.

(J . 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 rouud 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.
