Brazil: Sao Paulo. 
P. titan Drc. ($) resembles imitata (64 d), collar with white spots which are yellow in imitata ; abdomen titan. 
beneath yellow. Forewing as in imitata. Ground-colour of hindwing hyaline white, otherwise like the preceding. 
Peru: Chanchamayo. This and the following palmeri remained unknown to me. Expanse of wings: 45 mm. 
P. palmeri Drc. Body black, patagia in the spotted yellow, abdomen with yellow subdorsal spots, palmeri. 
beneath yellow, at the end red. Forewing with a red basal spot, a yellow streak on the proximal margin and 
hyaline markings as in the preceding, the latter, however, edged with yellow; hindwing white (d) or yellowish 
($), with a broad black distal margin in which there are white submarginal spots and before which red spots. 
Veins black, transverse vein broad black, costal margin red. Expanse of wings: <$ 70, $ 90 mm. West Colombia, 
East Peru. 
P. practides Drc. (63 e). Body black, patagia spotted yellow, abdomen above with subdorsal rows practides. 
of white spots, beneath with two rows of yellow spots. Forewing blackish-brown, proximal margin with an 
ochreous-yellow margin. Across the cell-end extends a grey hyaline band to the proximal margin, enclosing 
the brown cell-end spot; white submarginal spots. Hindwing whitish hyaline, clouded with blackish, veins 
black, transverse vein broad-black, costal and distal margins ochreous-yellow, on both sides narrowly edged 
with black, white marginal spots. Forewing beneath more extensively ochreous-yellow. $ with more indistinct 
markings, abdomen with white bands. Colombia. 
P. luctuosa Dgn. is similar to the preceding, patagial and abdominal spots white. The projection of luctuosa. 
the hyaline band towards the margin is very short. Hindwing quite black, beneath with a darker discal spot.

P. hodeva Drc. is unknown to me. $ body black, collar spotted yellow, patagia edged with red-brown, lwdeva. 
Abdomen above red-brown, with a black dorsal line and black lateral lines. Underside pale yellow, anus 
bluish-grey. Apical third of forewing black, cell brownish-yellow, clouded with brown, the proximal margin the 
same; veins black. At the cell-end a yellow line. Hindwing black, yellowish-brown at the apex and half the 
distal margin. Under surface more contrasting, a distinct black spot on the centre of the cell of the forewing. 
Expanse^ of wings: 90 mm. Peru. 
P. brunnea Drc. Likewise unknown to me, allied to hodeva; body black, collar spotted yellow. Abdomen brunnea. 
black, above with yellow subdorsal spots, beneath dingy yellow. Forewing basally dark brown, distal half 
light brown, apex and distal margin blackish-brown. Hindwing blackish-brown with an indistinct red-brown 
submarginal line. Forewing beneath with a red-brown transverse band near the apex, a pale brown cell-end 
spot and three similar streaks at the tornus. Hindwing with a red-brown costal margin, a large pale brown 
spot distally to the cell, the submarginal line more distinct. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. East Ecuador. 
P. rhea Drc. is also unknown to me. Body black, collar spotted yellow, thorax yellowish-brown rhea. 
like the abdomen, with a black dorsal line and black lateral lines, beneath pale yellow. Forewing with a brownish- 
black apical third, the other two thirds dark orange-yellow, with black veins, a black transverse vein and band 
from the costa to the 2nd cubitus. Hindwing orange, distal margin and a transverse band before it black. 
Expanse of wings: 95 mm. Peru: Rio Pachitea. 
P. practidoides sp. n. (64 d). Body blackish-brown, patagia and bases of wings with a red spot practidoi- 
Abdomen above with 2 rows of greenish-yellow spots, beneath yellow with black segmental margins, behind 
narrow red. Forewing brown, with yellowish and olive-coloured tints, with a lighter discal and subapical band, 
the latter as in lycaste and others projecting towards the margin. Hindwing pale yellow, margin black, extending 
to the cell, with red submarginal crescents, veins black, transverse vein broad black, costa reddish. Colombia. 
$ type from the Upper Rio Negro. (Coll. Fassl.) (It may be the $ of practides ?) 
P. guapa Schs. $. Unknown to me, in the habitus it is said to resemble P. ( Chetone) ithomia (62 a), guapa. 
Body black, head and thorax with white spots. Abdomen red-brown with a black dorsal and lateral line, beneath 
yellowish-white, anal hairs red-brown. Forewing blackish-brown, with white marginal spots, a row of indistinct 
pale spots from the costa across the cell-end, and two subterminal spots below the 2nd cubitus. Beyond the 
cell there are 5 whitish hyaline spots from the costa to the 1st cubitus. Hindwing reddish-brown, veins and 
extreme base black; costa narrow black, distal margin broad black, the latter with yellowish-white marginal 
spots. Hindwing beneath with a red stripe or dot at the base of the costa, the black distal margin is reduced 
to some black dusting. Expanse: 66 mm. Costa Rica. 
P. humeralis Wkr. (64 d, e) differs from guapa as follows: base of patagia, and collar with yellow humeralis. 
spots, abdomen beneath with black posterior margins of the segments, forewing with a more distinct light 
costal spot before the transverse vein, without marginal spots; hindwing with no black veins, distal margin 
without marginal spots, forewing beneath more reddish-yellow, particularly at the proximal margin. The 
S has on the mesothorax two large yellow spots, the forewing is darker, with a red and yellow basal streak, 
the fresh specimen irrorated with greenish on the dark places. Hindwing otherwise like in the $ of guapa, anal 
margin black-haired. Forewing beneath almost black, costa of both wings basally red. Mexico.
