LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 807 



ginal brown band, the latter is slightly interlined with cinereous 

 near its inner border; a brown costal line extending a short way 

 from the base. Hind wings subcaudate, with an ochraceous patch, 

 which is transversely and minutely streaked with black and contains 

 a dark cinereous spot on the interior angle ; this spot includes two 

 black dots and two white lines; space about the exterior border 

 broadly and slightly gilded. Length of the body 7 lines ; of the 

 wings 18 lines. 



Most allied to P. rectimargo, from which it may be dis- 

 tinguished by the narrow brown border of the fore wings. It 

 differs so much from P. dorninicata that it can hardly be identical 

 with P. persimilis.
