P. villia Drc. (= longipalpis Wcurr. ) (69 d) is said to differ from eriphus in a hyaline spot being situate villia. 
on the hind-margin near the base. This spot is present in the type, but neither lacks an original specimen 
of eriphus of Druce, because only the wing is damaged there. Both species are therefore probably identical. 
P. tiubilosa Warr. Forewing greyish-brown, veins finely yellow, a whitish spot at the base of the nubUo.su. 
cell, one beyond the cell and a yellow subapical spot. Hindwing white, costal margin narrowly, distal margin 
broadly black. Beneath the forewing lacks the subapical spot and the yellow veins. Expanse 30 mm. Ecuador. 
P. cuatropuntada Dgn. Both wings uni-coloured brown with a yellow spot right behind the cross- cuairopun- 
vein, that of the hindwing being almost twice the size of that of the forewing and of an intenser yellow. 
Beneath as above, but the base is greyish-blue. Expanse 24 mm. Ecuador. 
Po deldon Drc. Forewing blackish-brown, veins yellowish, a hyaline spot behind the cross-vein; hind- deldon. 
wing blackish, a light spot behind the centre, nearer to the costal margin. Under surface silky white in the 
hindwing, only the apex brown. Expanse 25 mm. It was bred from dead leaves of the Banana plant. Guatemala. 
P. semieoerulea Dgn. Forewing black whith 2 white spots, one between the veins 5 and 6, the semicoeru- 
other more clistally, between 5 and 4. Under surface basally somewhat lighter whitish. Hindwing black, 
beneath half bluish-white, extending to the hind-margin. Expanse 25 mm. Colombia. 
P. luteivena Wkr. (69 d). Forewing blackish-brown with yellow veins, behind the cross-vein an indistinct luteivenu. 
greyish-hyaline spot which is beneath larger and, like the base of the wing, yellowish-white. Hindwing black 
with a white discal sjiot which does not extend posteriorly beyond the cell, beneath white with a black distal 
margin not reaching to the tornus and before it being slightly incised. Otherwise entirely like approximans , 
but the hindwing above is more yellowish-white; it may be only a local race. Colombia. 
P. subcandidata Dgn. According to the description, the forewing above has no hyaline spot, whilst subcandida- 
the hindwing beneath shows a white round spot between the veins 4 and 6. It may be synonymous with ia - 
luteivena or a form of it. Colombia. 
P. sublucens Dgn. (69 d). Eorewing blackish-brown with yellow veins, hindwing black. Beneath the sublucens. 
forewing is whitish-blue at the base, the hindwing entirely whitish-blue except the distal margin being black 
as far as the 2nd cubitus, the broadest at the apex. Colombia. 
P. nox Drc. (69 e). Forewing black, veins and a subapical spot yellow, hindwing greyish-black, distal nox. 
margin from the apex to the 2nd cubitus jet-black. Beneath the forewing is white at the base and cell-end, 
the yellow spot as above. Hindwing white, apex broadly black. Expanse 32 mm. Colombia. 
P. tenebrosa Warr. (69 e). Forewing dark brown, veins finely yellow, hindwing black. Forewing beneath ienebrosa. 
blackish, base of costal margin and veins on both sides of apex whitish, base of radial branches 3 to 5 form¬ 
ing a spot; hindwing with whitish basal stripes, the longest at the costal margin. Expanse 24mm. Peru. 
P. leucocrypta Dgn. Forewing black with a small hyaline subapical spot, hindwing discally lighter, leucocrypia. 
otherwise also black. Beneath the forewing has a white basal streak, a white round cellular spot and a more 
distinct subapical spot. Hindwing white, costal margin very narrowly, distal margin very broadly black. 
Expanse 25 mm. Venezuela. 
P. prodromus sp. n. (69 e). Forewing blackish-brown, veins finely yellow, the spot behind the cross- prodromus. 
vein as clear as glass, no subapical spot. Hindwing white, costal margin and hind-margin narrowly, distal 
margin broadly black, beneath the costal margin and hind-margin are also white. Expanse 22 mm. Bolivia. 
<$ type from the Rio Tanampaya in the Berlin Museum. 
P. nsfipuncta Sells. (69 e). Forewing blackish-brown, veins, particularly basally, finely yellow, a hyaline rujipuncta. 
spot behind the cross-vein, an orange subapical spot; hindwing black, with a hyaline spot behind the cross- 
vein, proximally continued in a yellow irrorated area as far as the base. Beneath as above, but the forewing 
with a yellowish-white basal streak, hindwing yellowish-white, distal margin broadly black, at the costal mar¬ 
gin and cubitus projecting towards the base. Brazil. 
P. intersita sp. n. (69 e) entirely corresponds with rufipuncta, except the hindwing above being quite intersita. 
yellow, in it a hyaline spot distally to the cross-vein, the distal margin being broadly, the costal margin 
and hincl-margin narrowly black. Colombia. $ type in the Berlin Museum (Nr. 7875). 
P. seUnia Fldr. (69 f.) Forewing blaciush, at the base somewhat lighter; veins yellowish with a dark selenia. 
greyish-hyaline spot behind the cell and an orange subapical spot. Hindwing black with a whitish central 
area not cpiite reaching the base, distally extended into three tips and posteriorly extending to the hind- 
margin. Brazil. 
P. obtusa Wkr. (69 e) is entirely like aniplata (69 e) and may be only a form of it. The hindwing obtusa. 
has a more uniform white central area without the distal projections, broader, more band-shaped. Brazil.
