P. cilipes Whr. Mouse-coloured, 2 small white spots on the thorax in front; forewing with 2 round 
dark spots above the anal angle and a streak below the cell, touching 2 small bent preapical spots. Expanse 
of wings: <$ 30 mm; $ unknown. Habitat unknown. 
P. punctata Wkr. (= aspera Dgn .) (166c). Forewing light yellowish with a silky gloss, with a slight 
flesh-coloured tint; lines very indistinct, the marginal dots somewhat faded, 2 dots before the apex at the 
costal margin. Expanse of wings: 20—25 mm; $ unknown. Surinam; Brazil. 
P. subpunctella Dyar (166 c) is probably only a smaller race of the following subpunctata , for it is merely 
a little larger. Expanse of wings: 20—22 mm; $ unknown. Paraguay, Brazil. 
P. subpunctata Wkr. (= micans Mschlr., sericea Btlr., dora Drc., guaica Kaye) (166 c). Forewing yel¬ 
lowish with a silky gloss, of a slight flesh-coloured tint, strewn with black scales, which being accumulated in 
the centre of the margin form one or two dots, occasionally also a dot near the base of the cell and traces of 
a distal line. Expanse of wings: $ 17—30, $ 35 mm. Panama, Venezuela, Guiana, Brazil. 
P. parallela Dyar (166 c) is of a rather slender build, with narrow and long wings, brownish ochreous, 
strewn with brown scales, which being accumulated indicate 2 rather indistinct and spotted almost parallel 
lines; a submarginal row of spots is only distinctly prominent at the veins 2 and 3. Expanse of wings: <$ 25 mm; 
5 unknown. Brazil. 
P. brevicornis Dyar (166 c). Forewing pointed triangular, reddish violet in the costal-marginal third, 
light metallic yellow below it, strewn with dark, with an irregularly dentate fine exterior line; two spots at the 
margin at veins 3 and 4 are connected and form 2 longitudinal streaks. Expanse of wings: $ 37 mm; $ unknown. 
Costa Rica. 
P. nitidissima Dgn. (166 c). Like brevicornis, but the shape of the wings more quadrangular, not point¬ 
ed, with a brass lustre, the costal-marginal shadow not contrasting; exterior line undulate; a dark stripe below 
vein 2 proceeds form the cell. Expanse of wings: $ 33—35 mm; $ unknown. Peru (Yahuarmayo). 
P. sinaloensis Schs. (166 d). Dark greyish brown, the forewing with a bent exterior median line, bor¬ 
dered with light outside; the distal area light brownish mouse-coloured. Hindwing dark. Expanse of wings: 
3 20—23, $ 24—26 mm. Antennae of $ serrate. Mexico (Sinaloa). 
P. solaria Dgn. (166 d) is light yellowish, the disc with a slight metallic gloss, strewn with dark, with 
light veins; the slightly undulated dark fine exterior line is bordered with light towards the margin; a dark 
spot in the base of the cell and a small yellow spot above vein 1. Expanse of wings: $ 23—26, $ 28 mm. Peru. 
P. umber Dyar (166 d) is rather dark brown with a slightly bent broad dark line from the costal margin 
before the apex to the basal third of the inner margin; inner-marginal area dark with a line on the submedian 
vein; the marginal area is light with dark veins. Expanse of wings: 23—27, $ 30 mm. Antennae the same 
in both sexes. French Guiana. 
P. clara Dyar (166 d) is dark ochreous with a single bent uniformly brown exterior line. Expanse of 
wings: <$ 22—25 mm; $ unknown. Mexico. 
P. rubens Schs. (166 d). Dark reddish ochreous, costal area tinged with pink, with a brown undulate 
exterior line and fine dark veins. Hindwing of whitish, fringe dark, of $ bronze brown. Expanse of wings: 
23—26, $ 27 mm. Brazil. 
P. danetta Dyar resembles rubens, but it has a less concave and less pink-tinged costal margin. Hind¬ 
wing light ochreous, fringe light. The $ shows a broad shaded exterior line. Expanse of wings: <$ 25, $ 38 mm. 
Paraguay. 
P. producta Dyar (166 d) has narrow, pointed forewings; light ochreous, marked red-brown, with an 
intensely shaded costal-marginal part; the exterior line extends from the apex to the base, a less distinct sub- 
marginal line parallel to it. Hindwing dark orange. Expanse of wings: <$ 40 mm; $ unknown. Costa Rica. 
P. villosipes Wkr. Wings shaped as in 'producta, but larger, with an irregular exterior line which is 
dentiformly bent inward opposite to the cell; costal and inner margins dusted with reddish pink. Hindwing 
light ochreous with a reddish pink inner margin. Expanse of wings: 39—47, $ 50—63 mm. Costa Rica, 
Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Guiana. 
P. actiosa Dyar (166 d). Wings broad, the-apex not produced, but pointed; dark rusty brown, with 
dark veins and a line in the cell; two bent brown bands in the distal part, the exterior one unites with a mar¬ 
ginal line above the middle of the distal margin, both extending to the base. Hindwing darker brown, less 
reddish. Expanse of wings: q 30—33 mm; $ unknown. Colombia. 
P. druceoides Dgn. is lighter than actiosa, more yellowish, the two bands less approaching each other, 
the exterior one finer. Hindwing dark ochreous. Expanse of wings: 30—32 mm; $ unknown. Ecuador. 
P. laopepe Dyar (166 e) is larger than druceoides, the exterior line indistinct, and double towards the 
inner margin, the light area between the two lines traversed by a subcostal shadow, so that it looks as if the
