edge, is emarginate at each end; those of the secondaries are in 



the form of points, of which one is isolated, nearly central, and the 



four others below, in a transverse row ; the antepenultimate is the 



largest ; beyond the extremity of this series, there is a fifth, very 



small and indistinct. Wings finely bordered with white.

Small, brownish-black ; anterior half of the primaries, excepting 



the internal edge, fulvous. The black line of the middle, common 



to the males, is surmounted at its interior extremity with a fulvous 



point, and divided abruptly at its posterior edge from the adjacent 



portion of the surface by a linear incision, followed by a depression ; 



between this depression and the edge ^and nearly in a transverse 



line, are four small fulvous points, of which the inferior is a little 



larger and isolated, and the others in a small line. The female 



has in this place some white and transparent points, varying from 



six to eight, but the three superior are constant.

10. P. drurii Godt. Encyc. Method. IX, 767. 



Yery similar to P. thaumas. Primaries blackish, with a trans- 

 verse row of fulvous spots. The male has only two, of which the 

 interior is divided into two unequal parts ; the black line and dis- 

 tinctive of the sex form only an oblong point ; it is terminated 

 behind by the lowest of the preceding spots. Between the nerves 

 there are two spaces, of which the scales are elevated in the form 

 of finely striated pencils. Secondaries of a glossy russety brown; 

 under side more dull, traversed by a ray of small pale yellowish 

 spots, obsolete in some specimens.

This species approaches very nearly the P. vitellius Sin. Abb. I, 



pi. 17. It is also probably the same as Hon Fab. Suppl. Ent. 



Syst. p. 432. Another species analogous to the preceding as 



well as to P. thaumas, Fab. names exclamationis Ent. Syst. torn. 



Ill, pars 1, p. 326, No. 232. Wings, as well as body, blackish; 



primaries with a yellowish linear spot, and a point of the same 



color on the under side.
