P. exclusa sp. n. (09 e). Eorewing blackish-brown, veins and subapical spot yellow, a spot behind the 
cell dark hyaline; hindwing black, at the base and hind-margin dusted with yellowish, a discal spot is yellowy 
behind the cross-vein hyaline. Beneath the base of the forewing is yellowish, distal margin black. Colombia. 
£ type in the Berlin Museum. 
P. amplata Warr. (09 e) differs from the preceding in the spot behind the cross-vein of the forewing 
being more clearly transparent and larger, extending to half the distance between the cell and hind-margin. 
In the hindwing the hind-margin is broad black as far as the cubitus, w ith traces of white irroration between 
the veins, otherwise similar to the preceding. Hindwing beneath white, distal margin broadly black with 
an incision behind the 1st cubitus. Expanse 34 mm. Bolivia. 
P. clarata sp. n. (09 f) is quite similar to exclusa, but the hindwing is greenish-white, behind the 
cell hyaline, the costal margin and distal margin broadly, the hind-margin narrowly black. $ type from 
Cucuta, Venezuela, in the Coll. Bastelrerger (Senckenberg Museum). 
P. sirenia sp. n. (09 e). In the forewing the white subapical spot before the end on the 2nd median. 
Forewing blackish-brown, veins yellow, the whitish-yellow discal spot extends from y 4 of the 2nd cubitus al¬ 
most to the costal margin and is centrally strangulated, a white subbasal spot on the axillaris. Hindwing 
yellowish-white, apex broadly and distal margin black, hind-margin dusted with blackish. Bolivia. ^ ty r pe 
from the Rio Songo in the Berlin Museum. Distinguished from Tithr. albitumida by the broader black distal 
margin of the hindwing. 
P. circurnfutnata Warr. (69 f) resembles obtusa, but in the hindwing the whole hind-margin as far as 
the cell is irrorated with blackish, with a white streak in the anal fold. In the forewing the spot behind 
the cross-vein shows dark irroration. Expanse 21 mm. Venezuela. 
P. fenestrata sp. n. (69 f) is like the following, the spot behind the cross-vein is quite hyaline. Bolivia. 
Peru, d 1 ? types from the Rio Songo in the Berlin Museum. 
P. haruspex Drc. (69 f). Forewing blackish-brown with yellow veins, the basal third and a spot behind 
the cross-vein lighter, though not hyaline, but beneath white. Subapical spot orange. Hindwing'white, apex 
and distal margin black. Panama. 
P. evanescens sp. n. (69 f) is like haruspex, the basal area of the forewing is more distinctly defined, 
beneath and above the light spot at the cross-vein is absent, the margin of the hindwing particularly at 
the apex is broader black. Bolivia, Peru. types from Coroico and Bueyes in the Berlin Museum. 
P. nigribasalis sp. n. (69 g) entirely resembles evanescens, but the hindwing is at the base and costal 
margin above black. Venezuela. $ type from Merida in the Berlin Museum. 
P. colana Drc. Forewing blackish-brown, veins and subapical spot yellow'. Hindwing white with a 
black distal margin and grey hind-margin. Forewing beneath as above, but the base is white. Expanse 23 mm. 
East Peru. 
P. albiscripta Dgn. (69 f). Wings black, veins particularly on the forewing finely white; forewing with 
a white spot behind the cross-vein and a similar subapical s})ot which is somewhat tinted yellow in the 2. 
Hindwing with a white spot which is small in the and situate outside of the cell, whilst in the 2 it extends 
into the cell. Beneath it occupies the whole cell and expands as far as the base and along the hind-margin 
to the distal margin and on % of the costal margin. Expanse 26 mm. Peru. 
P. Integra sp. n. differs from albiscripta (69 f) in the yellow and subapical spot on the forewing, whilst 
in the hindwing the white irroration below behind the cell only extends to the ana Ik. Peru. $ type from 
Callanga in the Berlin Museum. Expanse 28 mm. 
P. picaria Warr. (69 g). V ings blackish-brown, veins of forewing yellow or white, forewing with a 
white basal spot in and behind the cell, the latter spot extending to below the rise of the 2nd cubitus, a white 
discal spot and subapical spot. Hindwing dark hyaline-grey, with a black distal margin and a round white 
spot distally to the cell. Beneath the costa of the hindwing is narrowly white, the discal spot is prolonged 
to the base and expands between the cell and axillaris. Peru, Marcapata. — In cryptophleps subsp. n. the 
veins are only distally distinct, the white markings of the forewing are less extensive, in the hindwing the 
white discal spot is also above expanded towards the base which, however, it does not reach, and extends 
towards the hind-margin as far as the analis. Beneath also the hind-margin and the narrow stripe below the 
hind-margin are white, in picaria black. Peru, Vilcanota. 2 in the Berlin Museum. 
P. frlniacula Warr. (69 g). Forewing brownish-black, veins paler, base white, in the cell hyaline, a 
short black basal streak on the cubitus and analis. A hyaline spot behind the cross-vein, parted by the 
dark veins, a white tridentate subapical spot at the radial fork. The veins on a submarginal line bro; der 
and paler. Hindwing white, distal margin broadly, costal margin and hind-margin narrowly black. Colombia. 
P. exclamatlonis sp. n. Forewing brown, in the cell black, veins yellow. Behind the cell a white 
basal streak as far as the 2nd cubitus, partly extending beyond the analis, behind the cross-vein a white 
oval spot. Hindwing white, costal margin narrowly, distal margin broadly black; the fringe at the hind- 
margin is also black. Forewing beneath without yellow veins, hindwing with % of the costal margin white. 
Bolivia. $ type from Mapiri in the Berlin Museum.
