dentate patch; behind the undulate subterminal line the marginal area is dusted darker like spots. Hindwing 
bronze-blackish. Mexico (Orizaba). 
centro- P. centrochalca Dyar (50 n). Forewing metallic bronze-brown, especially in the discal area, the darker 
chalca. p asa ] are a is bordered by the black dentate anteiior transverse line, the 3 maculae are close together, in light 
rings as in mosaica, the reniform macula somewhat strangulated; before the light undulate line there are small 
black sagittary spots near the costa] margin, behind it the marginal area is darkened. Hindwing blackish 
bronze. Mexico (Jalapa). 
cMorosiicta . P. chlorosficta Sells. (50 n). Forewing dull brown, at the base of a brilliant green, outward bordered 
by a darker brown, forming three lines at the costal margin; below the cell with a velvety blackish-brown spot, 
the cell itself lined green, the green reniform macula with white dots above and below. Fringe towards the inner 
margin and above the centre green. Hindwing dark with partly green fringe. Costa-Rica. 
virescens. P. virescens Drc. (50 n) is similar to chlorosticta, the marginal area in the lower half extensively mixed 
with green, below the cell a U-shaped green marking bordered by black, connected with the V-shaped green 
ring-macula, the strangulated green-edged reniform macula with white dots inside and outside; the posterior 
transverse line is very strong, black, before and behind it red-brown dusting. Hinclwing copper-brown. Peru. 
cuna. P. cana Drc. (50 n). Forewing light red-brown, strewn with a darker colour, in the discal and subterminal 
areas, excepting the costal-marginal portion, dusted with greyish white, with an indistinct anterior and double 
posterior transverse line, between the maculae in whitish rings with a square black spot; undulate line whitish, 
dentate. Hindwing copper-brown. Peru. 
guanacaste. P. guanacaste Schs. (51 a). Basal area of forewing brown, separated by an oblique black antemedian 
line from the grey discal area, with a brownish-grey median line between the maculae which are surrounded 
by the same colour; postmedian line treble, median line brown, the exterior line is fused with a black shadow 
in the centre of the margin, the subterminal line is only visible at the costal margin and dentate black. Hindwing 
dark brown. The $ is browner, in the discal area partly tinted reddish-brown. Costa-Rica. 
diapems. P. diapeias Dogn. (51 a) is very similar to guanacaste , the discal area not grey, but brownish ochreous 
with white-dusted veins and a median shadow between the white, brown-edged maculae; the posterior blackish- 
brown transverse line is double, obliquely extending to the centre of the margin, the apex above it brownish. 
Hindwing brown. French Guiana. 
Icmpcraia. P. femperata Schs. (51 a). Forewing brownish-ochreous, mixed with a darker colour, the base andinner 
margin as far as the posterior transverse line dark blackish-brown, extending along the latter up to the centre 
of the wing; maculae dark in light rings; below them a third double macula, the black posterior transverse line 
is situate in the upper portion in an oblique dark patch extending to the centre of the distal margin, the apex 
above it light; undulate line very near the margin inside edged with dark, apicad with small deep black sagittary 
spots before it. Hindwing blackish-brown. Mexico, Costa-Rica. 
corma. P. corina Schs. (51 a). Lighter than femperata, almost whitish, below the cell dusted with dark grey 
with fine black transverse lines and black, light-ringed maculae, between them a median line which, at the 
lower cell-end, surrounds a light yellowish-red spot; behind the postmedian line there is a broad blackish- 
brown shadow reaching neither to the costal margin nor inner margin, in the grey subterminal area with dark 
streaks behind the cell. 
griscscens. P. grisescens Hmps. (= delectans Drc. part.) (51 a). Forewing light reddish-brown, strewn with black, 
with double black transverse lines filled with whitish; all the 3 maculae are present, the two upper ones black, 
in whitish rings, the coniform macula is a light spot; undulate line whitish, inside shaded with brown, with 
a black subapical sagittary spot in front of it. crossed by an oblique dark patch as in corma. Guatemala, 
Panama. 
aiys. P. atys Schs. (51 a) has light brown forewings with a black shadow from the centre of the cell to the 
distal margin and a similar one below the cell from the base to the centre, and undulate double dark brownish- 
grey transverse lines. Inner margin as far as the centre light grey; subt-erminally above the middle black dark 
streaks. Hindwing blackish-brown. Costa-Rica. 
mulciior. P. mulator Schs. (51 a). Forewing with a rounded distal margin, dark silken brown, in the discal area 
and at the inner margin strewn with reddish-yellow, with air oblique black basal ray below the cell; anterior 
transverse line undulating, bordered by light, posterior line blank, spotted, its upper portion in a dark brown 
oblique shadow to the margin as in guanacaste and femperata. above it the apical area is light reddish-yellow

purple brown. Guatemala. 
subrufes- P. subrufescens Kaye (51 a). Forewing reddish-yellow, strewn with black, darker at the base of the

lines brown, the posterior one double at the costal margin, the maculae in feeble whitish rings, below them a 
third irregular spot in a lighter ring; the light undulate line is finely dentate, inside with small olive brown
