106 POLIA. By Dr. M. Dratjdt. 
spot; the marginal area is darker. Hindwing white, on the veins and margin brownish. Eastern States (Maine. 
New York). 
P. acutipennis Grt. is the southern representative of vicina and very much like it; more bluish-grey 
and more intensely strewn with black, in the discal area of the forewing except the proximal part suffused with 
black. Texas and California. 
P. pensilis Grt. (16 e) is still lighter than vicina, marked very much like it; the black basal ray is 
above bordered with red-brown, the cell and the space behind the reniform macula being also tinted red-brown; 
the transverse lines are filled up or bordered with white, the small maculae in grey rings; the undulate line 
consists of a row of yellowish-white moon-spots, proximally bordered by black sagittae. Hindwing diaphanous 
white, on the veins and margin brownish. —- indistincta Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps .) has more faded and more indis¬ 
tinct markings on the forewing and probably belongs to a different species. Canada to Texas, California and 
Arizona. 
P. doira St reck. (— ascula Sm.) (16 e). Forewing grey with a white costal band and a short black basal 
ray; the double transverse stripes are filled Tip with white, the maculae are in white rings, from the end of the 
reniform macula a white stripe extends to the oblique white apical patch, above the anal angle there is a large, 
oval, white spot; the veins in the subterminal area are striped black, the undulate line is white, bordered with 
blackish-brown; fringes speckled brown and white. Hindwing white, veins and margin brownish, in the $ 
with a darker discal spot and transverse line behind it. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Described from Utah. 
P. sareta Sm. (16 e) is very similar to doira, but on an average smaller, of a brighter bluish-grey 
colour, and with purely white hindwings the margin of which exhibits but traces of brownish; also in the $ they 
are white, at the margin but slightly smoky. The forewing is dusted with yellowish or brownish in the discal 
cell, mostly down to the coniform macula. Expanse of wings: 25 to 28 mm. Arizona; Minnehaha. 
P. larissa Sm. is allied to anguina (16 cl), less robust, the marking otherwise very similar, the hind- 
wings more uniformly brownish-grey. From Arizona. There is still great obscurity in this whole group. 
P. agnata Sm. The ground-colour is a monotonous ash-grey, in the $ somewhat darker, with double, 
distinct transverse stripes; coniform macula rather small, encircled with black and often above and behind 
it somewhat dusted with red-brown, the upper maculae are rather large, in light grey rings and encircled with 
black, between them a dark median shade; the whitish undulate line forms two distally directed bows, between 
them with an acute angle showing proximad, above the anal angle more prominent in the shape of a white 
crescent; behind it dark dusting. Hindwing smoke-grey, in the $ darker. Expanse of wings: 31 to 34 mm. 
Arizona. 
P. segregata Sm. (16 e) is larger than the preceding and darker brown with a slight purple reflection; 
transverse lines single, black, on the averted sides bordered with grey, on the submedian fold connected with 
brown; the maculae are large, grey, encircled with black, the reniform macula distally somewhat shaded with 
reddish-brownish; the white undulate line is on both sides spotted blackish. Hindwing greyish-brown. Canada. 
(Alberta, Columbia). 
P. gussata Sm. (16 f) has brownish-grey forewings dusted with purple blackish, with indistinctly 
double transverse stripes bordered with whitish, behind the posterior stripe grey and black streaks on the veins, 
to it extends a black stripe from the small coniform macula; the upper maculae are large, between them there 
are traces of a dark median shade; before the indistinct light undulate line small black sagittae. Hindwing 
dusted with brown, with white fringes. Canada. 
P. albomarginata Drc. (16 f). Forewing purple grey, dusted with blackish, in the discal area black, in 
the marginal area yellowish-white, scantily strewn with black; the anterior transverse line is white, bordered 
with black, the posterior line is double, filled up with white, both starting from rather large pinkish-white costal- 
marginal spots; the coniform macula is marked by a white moon-spot behind it. the upper maculae are pink, 
in white rings, above the median connected by a pink stripe being continued along the upper median branch 
and terminating at the undulate line which is only marked by the coloristic contrast of the purple grey post- 
median area and of the white marginal area, proximally at the costal margin and proximal margin bordered 
by black spots, in the lower half distally by pink crescentiform spots. Hindwing blackish-brown, fringes white, 
at the apex black, in the centre speckled. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Costa Rica to Bolivia. 
P. gumia sp. nov. (16 f) is very similar to the following albijluviata, but it differs by simplified larger 
markings; the proximal-marginal part is black and distally cut off oblique to the anal angle, the costal-marginal 
part is greenish-white except a large black spot crossed by the fine posterior transverse line; black are besides 
the costal-margin itself and the cellular filling between the maculae which are connected below; in the black 
proximal-marginal part the very large white dentiform spot is situate behind the coniform macula, the 3 fine 
transverse lines, a patch in the centre of the proximal margin, and a small proximal-marginal stripe at the anal 
angle. Hindwing more extensively white. According to 2 <$$ from the Cuesta de Cillutincara in Bolivia (at 
an altitude of 3200 m), taken by Fassl.
