1154. P. juncea (Swinli.), P. Z. S., 1885, p. 448, pi. 27, 
fig. 4. 
Common. 
1155. P. qusesita (Swinh.), Z.c, p. 468, fig. 8. 
Common. The type of juncea was a female, of qusesita 
a male, both in B. M. Hampson has, consequently, put 
them together (vol. ii., p. 519), and has described them 
as sexes of one species. He has sunk them both under 
P. resistens, Walker, which is represented in the B. M. 
by the remains of an insect from the Congo, and, in so 
iar as I can make it out, may be anything. I think the 
identity of species from localities so widely separated, 
and from such very different parts of the world, requires 
more than an old worn specimen for verification. Any- 
how, whatever the Congo insect may be, juncea and 
qusesita have no connection with each other, except 
similarity in venation, which is necessarily common to 
all the species of a genus. I have a magnificent series 
of both sexes of both species. The males and females 
are identical, as is the case with all the species of this 
genus ; but the two species are widely different in shape, 
colour, and markings, as may be seen by the coloured 
drawings which represent them very distinctly in plate 
27, figs. 4 and 8, of P. Z. S., 1885. 
1156. P. quadrilineata (Moore), Descr. Ind. Lep. Atk.,

1158. P, ferrilineata. sp. n. 
(j". Antennae, palpi, head, and collar ochreous, body and wings 
of an uniform olive-brown, orbicular and reniform distinct, red- 
brown, irrorated with black atoms, costa with dark brown marks 
and pale ochreous dots, transverse bands red-brown and indistinct ; 
1st thin, and waved somewhat near the base, 2nd commencing in 
the middle of hinder margin, waved and curved outwardly round 
the orbicular, broader than the 1st ; 3rd discal, straight and broad, 
with its inner edge close to the 2nd, and outwardly limited by a 
black waved and broken line, marginal points black ; hindwings 
unmarked, cilia of both wings ochreous-grey, irrorated with black
