P. perculsa sp. n. (33 f) is allied to the preceding, very light loam-coloured yellowish-grey, in the perculsa. 
cell between the maculae blackish, the transverse lines broken up into rows of vein-dots, the lighter maculae 
scarcely defined, the reniform macula somewhat strangulated, below with 2 black dots therein, the inner one 
of which is larger; marginal area blackish except the obliquely cut-off apex, in it the lighter undulate line 
projecting in the centre towards the margin, proximally shaded with a darker colour; fringes at the ends of 
the veins traversed by yellowish. Hindwing very light brownish-grey, towards the base almost white. Mexico. 
P. gurrha Dyar is apparently very closely allied to perculsa; the loam-coloured forewing shows a reddish gurrha. 
tinge in the disc, whilst the markings are more distinctly contrasting; the light maculae are situate in a dark 
cellular shadow, the reniform macula has below but one black dot, the transverse lines are composed of double 
rows of dots on the veins; in the darkened marginal area there is a bent, still darker subterminal shadow, the 
apex remaining light; on the distal margin there are black internerval dots; most easily discernible by dark 
blackish-brown hindwings which are only in the $ towards the base somewhat lighter yellowish. Expanse 
of wings: 32 mm. Mexico (Zacualpan, Cuernavaca). 
P. rubrifusa Drc. (33 e). Forewing deep red, mixed with whitish, with black, dentate transverse lines rubrifusa. 
bordered with whitish, the posterior line being more or less double with black and white vein-dots behind it; 
maculae in whitish rings and centred with blackish; before the whitish undulate line black shading. Hindwing 
brown, at the margin reddish. South-Eastern Peru. 
P. caustimargo Dyar has reddish-brown forewings, the markings being faded in the <$, but distinct causlimar- 
in the §, whilst the margin and fringes are of a burnt-like brown colour; in the $ the transverse lines are double, o°- 
the distal line with vein-dots behind it; the large, light yellowish, faded reniform macula is common to both 
sexes. The brownish-grey hindwing is darker in the $ than in the <jh Mexico. 
P. agnonia Drc. (32 k). Forewing ochre-yellowish, at the costal margin lighter, towards the hind- agnonia. 
margin and at the distal margin suffused with red-brown, with a black basal ray, double transverse lines and 
a double row of vein-dots behind the distal row, the maculae surrounded with brown, in the reniform macula 
below with 2 black dots; veins in the marginal area striped black behind the dark-shaded undulate line. A 
common insect from Mexico to Peru. 
P, parastichtoides Hmps. (33 f) differs from the allied preceding species by the red-brown basal ray 
and veins of the marginal area, the cell between the maculae and behind them is of a deeper red-brown, the 
undulate line being also inwardly shaded with a more reel-brown colour. Brazil. 
P. albistriata Hmps. is likewise extremely similar to agnonia (32 k), larger, irrorated with a more 
ferruginous red colour, in the marginal area except the apex lighter, without maculae, only at the lower cell-end 
there is a dark spot; behind the postmedian line there are no vein-clots, and in the marginal area there are 
deep ferruginous-red internerval streaks on both sides edged with whitish, the discal streaks extending to the 
cell; no undulate line. Hindwing whitish, at the margin reddish-brownish. Peril. 
P. leucariioides Hmps. (33 g). Forewing light yellowish, on the veins and between them striped red- 
brown, in the marginal area the veins are whitish, on both sides bordered with red-brown; only the posterior 
transverse line is marked by vein-dots with white dots behind them, the anterior line only at the costal margin; 
maculae and undulate line absent except a small dark spot at the low r er cell-end. Hindwing yellowish-brown, 
at the margin coppery red. Venezuela. 
P. xylophasioides Gn. (33 g) has ochre-reddish forewings, of a deeper reddish colour are the median 
area, the upper half of the postmedian area and the margin except the apex; the median vein and the hind- 
marginal vein are white, the veins of the marginal area are striped dark, the hindmargin red-brown; the transverse 
lines are marked by double rows of vein-dots; the oblique ring-macula is in a yellowish ring, the reniform macula 
only below yellowish, and with black dots in the centre; from the lower cell-angle a dark discal stripe extends 
to the margin; behind the faded brown undulate line there are white vein-dots. Hinclwing yellowish-white, 
the veins and margin being brown. Brazil. 
P. xantlioides Gn. (= trita Mschlr.) (33 f). Forewing orange-yellow, irrorated with red-brown, 
particularly in the median and marginal areas, with dark-striped veins, dentate transverse lines, with a double 
row of vein-dots behind the distal line, and with small yellow, brown-centred maculae, with a small black spot 
below in the reniform macula; the undulate line is composed of small yellowish, proximally brown spots. 
Hindwing yellowish-brown. — enixa Grt. is a much lighter, whitish form tinted reddish-brown, with white 
hindwings exhibiting a light brown tint at the margin. The latter form is from Texas. — The type flies from 
Canada to Florida and Texas, and then again in Brazil, also in Cuba and Trinidad. 
P. abstemia Gn. (32 k) is a larger species very much resembling roxana; forewing on its yellowish- 
brown ground tinted with copper-reddish and strewn with blackish, with double, interrupted blackish transverse 
lines and vein-clots behind the distal line; the yellowish maculae are finely encircled with black and centred 
with brownish, the reniform macula is strangulated and below proximally spotted black, between and behind 
them irrorated with blackish-brown; the coniform macula is also present; the yellowish undulate line is 
proximally irrorated with brown. Hindwing yellowish reddish-brown. Mexico.
