cell ; a subterminal row of small, round bluish-metallic spots in apex and 
along termen; indistinct whitish bars on basal half of costa. Cilia whitish, 
with bright fuscous antemedian line; broad dark brown bars: before and 
below apex, and on upper 2 / 5 of termen ; tornal cilia coffee-brown with base 
bright yellowish-fuscous; dorsal cilia and a small dorsal scale projection 
bright yellowish-fuscous. Hind wing dark greyish-fuscous, with bronze 
gloss, towards edge suffused with blackish. Cilia dark fuscous-grey with a 
pale ochreous basal line. 
Genital segment forming a thickened ring around ovipositor. Limen 
represented by two scobinate knobs medianlv. Colliculum small. Ductus 
bursae narrow, gradually dilated below, bursa large, pear-shaped. Ovi- 
positor of a shape typical for this genus : each half separated in a narrow 
dorsal and a triangular ventral lobe (Slide No. 618 D). 
Iebele Camp, 2250 m, November, December 1938. One female. Closely 
allied to the two other species known: P. haeretica Meyrxck, from India, 
and P. anisoptera Diakonoff, from Java. Male genital characters of this 
genus are still unknown.

Now a second female specimen of the unique species of this genus 
becomes known, slight corrections and amendations of its description 
can be made. The genus may be redescribed for the second time as follows. 
Head roughly scaled above, face with appressed scales. Antenna minutely 
pubescent. Ocellus small, posterior. Palpus subascending, rather slender, 
little dilated with scales, median segment roughish towards apex beneath, 
terminal segment slender, moderately long, rather pointed. Thorax 
without crest. Proboscis short. Fore wing elongate-ovate, pointed, termen 
sinuate, oblique, lb short-furcate, 2 from 1 / 3 — 2 / 5 of lower edge of cell, 
3 and 4 from angle, 5 remote, slightly curved upwards towards base, 7 and 
S separate or short-stalked, 7 to termen, 10 from 2 / 3 , 11 from 1 / 3 of upper 
edge of cell. Hind wing with 2 from 3 / s , 3 and 4 short-stalked from angle, 
5 closely approximated at base, 6 and 7 closely approximated towards 
base.
