After a careful examination of the structure of this species, 

 although it greatly exceeds in size any other species of Pardaleodes 

 jfnown 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. xantMoides, Holl., and P. xanthias, Mab., it 

 forms a small sub-group in the genus.

cJ . Allied closely to P. vihius, Hew. Instead, however, of 

 liaving 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 tlie 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 vihius, 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 vihius, 

 but is sufficiently distinct to deserve description. Expanse 25 mm.
