302 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



spot in cell la sufFuserL Fringes bright chrome-yellow, brown next cell 7 of the 

 forewing and cells 4-7 of the hindwing, the short scales brown throughout. The 

 punctiform hyaline spots on the forewing have a tendency to disappear. 



Expanse of wings, 45-48 mm. 



Habitat. — Sikkim (Moller). Type in Coll. Elwes. 



We separate this species from P. pagana and P. humara with some doubt, but 

 the genitalia are different from those of both those species. (Elwes and Edwards.) 



We have not seen this species, and therefore give copies of Elwes' and Edwards' 

 fiijure.

Imago. — Male. Upper-side blackish-brown. Forewing with six semi-diaphanous 

 white, small spots in a continuous row from near the apex increasing in size hindwards, 

 the first three sub-apical in an outwardly oblique straight line, the first two very 

 minute, the uppermost one sometimes absent, the lower three in an inwardly oblique 

 nearly straight line, near the bases of interspaces 4, 3 and 2. Hindwing without 

 markings. Cilia of both wings cinereous, becoming somewhat ochreous towards the 

 anal angle of the hindwing. Underside very little paler and slightly red-tinted ; 

 markings as on the upperside, a large diffused white patch on the forewing, in the 

 middle of the interno-median interspace and the hinder marginal space broadly paler 

 than the rest of the wing ; a long tuft of greyish hairs on the hinder margin before the 

 middle, curling upwards and outwards and lying fiat against the wing. Antennae 

 black, the shaft greyish-wliite beneath ; palpi, head, body and legs concolorous with 

 the wings, palpi with some dull ochreous hairs on the underside. 



Female like the male, with all the spots of the forewing larger, the discal series of 

 the forewing with an additional white spot on the middle of the sub-median vein, and 

 sometimes with a smaller spot above it a very little outwards, sometimes joined to it. 



Expanse of wings, ^ ? l-fg to ly^ inches.
