brownish. Palpus slender, ascending, pale ochreous tinged fuscous, terminal 
segment porrect, greyish. Thorax whitish-ochreous. Abdomen dark fuscous, 
paler towards base, anal tuft and venter pale ochreous. Legs ochreous, 
posterior leg whitish-ochreous, anterior and median tarsus dark fuscous 
above, pale-ringed, posterior tibia clothed with moderately dense long 
hairs above and beneath. Fore wing subovate, broad, dilated, costa 
strongly curved at base, little curved beyond this, stronger curved towards 
apex, apex rounded, termen straight, oblique. Pale whitish-ochreous, 
slightly suffused with light brownish along base of costa, markings dark 
fuscous irrorated with black. Base of costa with a row of small black dots; 
a large triangular outwardly oblique patch of blackish irroration suffused 
with dark fuscous, extending from before 1 f i to beyond middle of costa; 
acute top of this patch reaching 3 / 4 across wing, touching top of a moderate 
triangular tawny spot; this spot irrorated and suffused along anterior 
edge and along fold with blackish-fuscous, occupying less than posterior 
i/ 4 of dorsum almost to tornus; this spot preceded by two narrow lines 
parallel to its anterior edge; these lines running from middle of dorsum to 
top of costal patch ; a moderate, conspicuously dark, well defined streak 
rising from top of costal patch to 3 / 4 of costa, straight, slightly gradually 
dilated, acutely angulate on costa and descending to termen just or well 
below middle, curved and slightly narrowed below; this streak dark tawny- 
brown, edged and more or less suffused with black; terminal and apical 
areas each with about three blackish undulate lines, curved parallel to 
descending half of preceding fascia; first of these lines to above tornus, 
broad, suffused, greyish; second line touching descending branch of 
transverse streak in middle, suffused with pale tawny, sometimes obli- 
terate; subapical streak narrow; a short broader transverse streak in 
apex; ground colour posteriorly sometimes slightly mixed with pale lilac. 
Cilia fuscous-lilac, anterior third dark fuscous with a pale basal line; in

fuscous, along dorsum pale grey, along 3 / 4 of costa whitish; cilia grey, 
anterior third dark fuscous with a narrow pale basal line; cilia along 
dorsum and along anal cells elongate, light ochreous-fuscous. 
Genitalia very similar to the following species. No sclerotizations at 
base of tegumen. Valva somewhat bent in middle, cucullus less densely 
spined, sacculus hardly haired. Vinculum absent? (possibly broken off) 
(Slide No. 814 D, holotype). 
Araucaria Camp, 800 m., March 8, 1939 (holotype), March 21 and 29, 
1939. Three specimens. Allied to P. toxogramma (Meyrick) but much 
smaller, markings quite distinct. Closely allied to the following species. 
The three present species have in common separate veins 3 and 4 in hind 
wing.
