lines bordered with white, without a ring-macula and with a red-brown-centred narrow reniform macula; the 
straight undulate line which is proximad bordered with a faded darker colour is of a rather oblique course. 
Hindwing coppery brown, at the margin darker. Brazil. 
Ph. diagona Hmps. (35 e) is similarly marked, but more chocolate-brown, and well distinguished 
by a straight dark brown band obliquely extending through the median area, beginning from the costal margin 
at the anterior transverse line to the posterior line at the hind-margin. Hindwing coppery red. British Guiana. 
Ph. proselyta Schs. (35 e) has red-brown forewings, with a more violet tint in the basal and marginal 
area, with white transverse lines, the posterior line behind the cell irrorated with brown, between both with 
a similar, obliquely running, straight line as in diagona ; on the cross-vein there is a dark brown streak bordered 
with light; instead of the undulate line there are dark spots, the largest below the costal margin. Hindwing 
blackish-brown with white fringes. Guatemala. 
Ph. transversa Schs. (35 e) is a somewhat larger, violettisli-grey species irrorated with red-brown, 
in the median area and behind it chocolate-brown with double red-brown transverse lines filled up with violettish- 
grey, without a ring-macula, the reniform macula in a violettish-grey ring and in the centre striped in the 
same colour; the undulate line is composed of minute dark brown spots. Hindwing dark red-brown. Brazil. 
—- Larva light yellowish-green with darker longitudinal lines and a yellowish-brown head, pupating between 
leaves in a web of silk and grass-blades. 
Ph. constricta Dgn. Forewing light brown with broad white transverse lines each edged by two dark 
brown shadows, the posterior line of an obliquer course than the anterior line, between them with a dark brown 
discal streak on both sides bordered with white; the undulate line is a white band. Hindwing blackish-brown 
with white fringes. Paraguay. 
Ph. subvenata Schs. (35 f). Forewing of a bright brown colour, the costal margin and the bases of 
the principal veins white, with white transverse lines, the distal one being double, besides with a white oblique 
line from the rise of the lower median branch to the base of the hind-margin, and with a white horizontal streak 
at the cell-end; the white undulate line on the lowest radial branch forms an acute angle to the margin where 
it unites with a white marginal line. Hindwing brow'n. British Guiana. 
Ph. costafa Schs. (35 f). Forewing brown mixed with purple brown, at the costal margin broadly 
yellowish-reddish, posteriorly warming into white; the large maculae are surrounded by a pinkish white, the 
reniform macula is behind spotted white; transverse lines very fine indistinctly darker brown; before the lilac- 
brown marginal area there is a darker subterminal shadow. Hindwing dark greyish-brown with a dark median 
spot. French Guiana. 
Ph. multilinea Schs. (35 f). Forewing light brown, at the distal margin irrorated with whitish, travesred 
by many straight darker brown lines, 2 basal ones, 3 antemedian and 3 postmedian ones, behind them with 
a less distinct, partly interrupted undulate-linear shadow, in the median area with a broader median shadow 
below the large dark reniform macula. Hindwing blackish-brown with white fringes. Costa Rica. 
Ph. zelotypa Schs. (35 f) is on the forewing brown, irrorated with violet, with lighter brown transverse 
lines bordered with reddish; the maculae are only indicated by light streaks; the undulate line is a straight 
light, distally darker line; on the distal margin there is a double light line being angular between the lower 
radial branches, behind it with dark marginal spots, above a larger one, below it smaller ones. Hindwing dark 
brown with lighter fringes. Described from Costa Rica. 
Ph. petrovna Schs. (35 f) is a very different small species with narrow light grey wings, with an 
oblique distal margin, and very easily discernible by the white undulate line which has proximally a broad, 
deep chocolate-brown band in front of it and on the lower radial branch forms a very acute angle towards the 
margin; the transverse lines are very oblique and whitish, the posterior line double; between the maculae there 
is a triangular deep dark brown area in the cell. Hindwing white, at the margin reddish-brown. Brazil. 
Ph. u-album Gn. ( = purpuripennis Grt., baliola Morr.) (35 f). One of the largest species with red- 
brown forewings which are irrorated with purple grey, with rather indistinct red-brown transverse lines, the 
posterior being dentate, and with a U-shaped white reniform macula; the grey undulate line is distally bordered 
with red-brown. Hindwing reddish-greyish brown. United States (Massachusetts to Florida). 
Ph. parallela Hmps. (35 f). Forewing bright red-brown, with strong white transverse lines and an 
oblique white discal streak which is prolonged somewhat proximad on the median; the undulate line is composed 
of minute red-brown spots. Hindwing light fiery red, towards the base lighter. Bahamas. 
Ph. tura Drc. (35 g). The red-brown forewing is mixed with whitish and exhibits double red-brown 
transverse lines filled up with white; from the V-shaped white reniform macula a faded red median shadow 
extends to the hind-margin; the undulate line is a white band with small deep red spots behind it. Hindwing 
red-brown with white fringes. Panama.
