P. orta B. <£.• McD. is very much like vecors (33 e), but it is much smaller and lighter and chiefly 
distinguished by the reniform macula exhibiting in the lower half a quadrangular white spot, below shaded 
with black; the upper half contains several small olive spots separated from each other by dark shading; the 
total colouring is more reddish-brown mixed with olive, particularly in the filling of the transverse lines; the 
indistinct undulate line is only prominent by the contrast between the darker subterminal area against the 
more ochreous-tinted lighter marginal area. Hindwing smoky grey. Expanse of wings: 23 to 28 mm. Described 
from Arizona. 
P. consaepta sp. n. (33 e) is somewhat similar to selenosa, the ground-colour is almost purely black, 
quite scantily strewn with ochreous, the transverse lines broken up into single small ochreous spots, behind 
the distal line with white vein-dots on both sides black-striped, the beginnings of the transverse lines marked 
by small yellowish-white costal-marginal spots; the ring-macula is small, quadrangular, somewhat strangulated, 
bordered with yellowish-white, the reniform macula is an X-shaped loam-coloured yellowish marking, between 
the lower sides of which there is a white pear-shaped large spot; the undulate line consists of ochre-yellowish 
small spots anteriorly bordered with black; on the distal margin there are thick yellowish-white vein dots, 
behind it the fringes are broadly crossed with snow-white, behind a black basal line. Hindwing blackish-brown, 
towards the base lighter whitish. Mexico (Zacualpan, Cuernavaca), described according to several specimens, 
received from Rob. Muller. 
P. summota Schs. Forewing dull brown, the median area and a subterminal shadow blackish-brown, 
with single, somewhat darker transverse lines, and a small, dark-centred reniform macula; on the distal margin 
white vein-dots. Hindwing white, at. the distal margin blackish. This species is allied to letera (33 d). From 
Costa Rica. 
P. berinda Drc. ( = detrecta Drc. nec Wkr.) (33 e). Forewing yellowish brown, in some places strewn 
with brownish black, with rather indistinct transverse lines, the anterior line double, the posterior line only 
feebly curved, bordered with a lighter colour, with black vein-dots behind it; the coniform macula is a black 
spot, the upper maculae surrounded and centred with black; before the yellowish undulate line there is black 
shading. Hindwing reddish-brown. Mexico to Paraguay. 
P. mustia Dgn. (33 e) has ferruginous-red forewings, in some places strewn with black, with black 
transverse lines, the posterior line double and with black and white vein-dots behind it in a black subterminal 
band; the maculae are surrounded with black, the reniform macula is white-spotted; the veins in the marginal 
area black-striped. Hindwing greyish-brown, at the margin darker. Ecuador. 
P. illicita Schs. is allied to the following agalla (33 f); forewing silvery grey with fine double brownish 
transverse lines, behind the distal line with white vein-dots; ring-macula Y-shaped, bordered with white, beneath 
spotted velvety blackish-brown, the reniform macula distally finely bordered with white and velvety black; 
in the pinkish-brown marginal area there is a whitish subterminal shadow and a black subcostal spot. Hindwing 
brownish-grey. Costa Rica. 
P. agalla Dgn. (33 f). Forewing light reddish greyish-brown with double undulate transverse lines 
and double dots behind the distal line; maculae small, whitish, centred with blackish-brown, the cell between 
them blackened, behind them continued as a dark patch to the distal margin; before the light undulate line 
shaded with brown. Hindwing light brownish-grey with light fringes. Ecuador and Peru. 
P. micragalla Hmps. is smaller than the preceding, the transverse lines bordered and filled up with 
a lighter colour, the yellowish maculae in white rings and surrounded with black, before and between them 
deep red-brown irroration in the cell, the undulate line is whitish, with black dots before it. Hindwing light 
yellowish-brown. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. North-East Peru. 
P. bahamica Hmp.s. (33 f) is likewise very similar to agalla , with more whitish wings, particularly 
in the costal area, with a black basal say ; before the S-shaped reniform macula on the discal fold a yellow streak 
in the darkened ground of the cell, behind it black streaks as far as behind the postmedian line. Hindwing 
towards the base lighter. Bahamas. 
P. punctifera Wkr. (= semifurca Wkr.) (33 f). Forewing reddish-brown, strewn with dark brown, 
with double transverse lines and white and black vein-dots on their averted sides; coniform macula black, 
the upper maculae whitish and surrounded with yellowish, reniform macula below white-spotted; the whitish 
undulate line is proximally shaded with black. Hinclwing light brownish, at the margin darkened. In the West 
Indian Islands; Bahamas, Jamaica, Cuba, Hayti. — In the form obsoleta Strd. (= ab. 1 . Hmps.) the white spot 
of the reniform macula is absent. 
P. secorva Schs. (33 f). Forewing olive-yellowish, scantily strewn with a darker colour and in the 
cell darkened by blackish like in the marginal area, in the hindmarginal part of the median area tinted reddish, 
postmedianly with black internerval streaks, with a black basal ray; transverse lines indistinctly, only at the 
costal margin more distinctly double, behind the distal line double vein-dots; the coniform macula is a black 
spot, the upper maculae are lighter, surrounded and inside marked with black, the reniform macula very much 
strangulated; the light undulate line is hardly visible. Hindwing greyish-brown. Brazil, Paraguay.
