band, but besides an indistinct interior and exterior line, strongly angled below the costal margin, towards the 
inner margin broken up in spots. Hindwing light ochreous. S 35 mm. Khasia Hills. 
P. discoidalis sp. n. (82 b). Similar to bela. Forewing reddish-ochreous brown. Above the brown radial discoidalis. 
band at the apex lighter. Cross-vein with an oval light spot. Before the margin a short dark band and dark 
marginal dots. Hindwing similarly coloured as forewing. $ 38 mm. Cochinchina. Type in the British Museum. 
P. nana Swh. (82 b). Similar to a small longivitta. The radial band does not reach to the apex. The 2 nana. 
rows of marginal dots are situate farther outside. <$ 35 mm. North Ivanara, Nilgiris. 
P. inconspicua Wilem. Forewing pale brown with a dark radial patch below the cell. A subbasal and inconspi- 
interior line of black dots. Exterior line blackish-brown, undulated. Hindwing whitish, with traces of a dark 
exterior line. <$ 40 mm. Formosa.

P. ochracea Mr. (82 d). The species has been described as a Pydna and also left at this genus by oehracea. 
Hampson. Owing to the large lobe at the base of the forewing and the pointed apex of the hindwing the species 
would be better ranged in the genus Norraca. The $ is apparently still unknown. $ uniformly orange, hindwing 
lighter. 70 mm. Darjeeling. 
P. crenelata Swh. Forewing pale ochreous brown, in the interior half brownish, with a shadow at the crenelata.

brown. <$ 45 mm. Cherra Punji. 
P. rosacea Hmps. Forewing pale pink. Inner margin as far as the cell-end brownish. Fine rows of black rosacea. 
dots form the interior and exterior lines. At the costal margin outside a conspicuous black spot. From the 
apex two oblique bands interrupted by the pink veins. Hindwing dark brown. $ 36 mm. India. 
P. atrivittata Hmps. (82 c). Body and forewing olive brown, at the distal margin paler. From the base airivittata. 
almost to the centre of the distal margin a blackish-brown radial band with a light streak above it at vein 4. 
At the upper edge of the cell and at vein 1 lead-coloured, cross-vein with a light spot. A strongly curved dark 
median band narrowly marked. An oblique dark band from the apex to % inner margin only distinct in the 
upper part. Marginal dots black. Hindwing pale reddish-brown. 44 mm. Sikkim. 
P. pallida Btlr. (Yol. Ill, pi. 56 e). This species described from Japan has already been dealt with in pallida. 
Vol. II, p. 316. According to Elwes, the Indian form is different. On account of the resemblance we presume 
that the $ figured as elwesi is this form mentioned just now: elwesi form. nov. (82 c). Thorax more intensely elwesi. 
olive brown. The radial band on the forewing also extends across vein 4 and is widened at the distal margin 
as in pallida , with whitish spots at the margin. From the base from vein 3 proceeds the olive brown band, but 
below the cell to the base. Hindwing reddish-brown. $ 60 mm. Khasia Hills. Type in the British Museum. 
— notata Swh. is to be cancelled as synonym of pallida, because it is a Grambida. 
P. brunnea Sivh. Fore wing ochreous brown with black dots at the costal margin and a spot % distant brunnea. 
from the apex, a spot below the centre of the cell, and a curved exterior row of black dots. Hindwing blackish- 
brown. 55 mm. Khasia Hills, Ceylon. 
P. metaphaea Wkr. (82 c, d). Pale ochreous. A black spot below the base of vein 2 and a streak behind metaphaea. 
the cell may be absent. More distinct are an exterior row of dots, a row at the margin, and a feeble oblique 
band from the apex. Abdomen and hindwing darker brown. 45—55 mm. Ceylon, Borneo. 
P. endophaea Hmps. (82 c). The species is placed to metaphaea by the author, though there is no endophaea. 
resemblance whatever. Ochreous-brown. Fore wing dusted with rusty brown, with 2 rather indistinct interior 
rows of rusty-red dots, angled at the median vein. Above the cell-angle a dark dot at the costal margin, 
then 2 exterior rows of dark dots with a patch extending from the apex, at the inner margin sharply inwards 
to the interior row. Also at the margin a row of dots. Hindwing more yellow. 35 mm. Kanara. 
P. suisharyonis Strd. (82 c). Ground-colour brownish-white. The pointed ends of the radial band are suisharyo 
darker than the rest of it; at the inner margin another parallel, obsolete band. Marginal dots distinctly black. 
Hindwing slightly brownish. $ 42 mm. Formosa. 
P. formosicola Strd. (82 c) may be the $ of suisharyonis. Forewing yellow with a rusty red radial band formosicola 
to the apex, also at the inner margin rusty red, with an adjoining band before the margin. Some submarginal 
dark dots. $ 52—54 mm. Formosa. A Javanese specimen used for the figure is more intensely red. 
P. postica Mr. (82 d). Thorax rusty brown. Forewing pale yellow with a uniformly narrow rusty brown postica. 
radial band to the apex. At the inner margin below vein 2 a triangular spot from which traces of a band extend 
to the apex. Before the margin black dots. Hindwing somewhat brownish at the inner margin. <$ 42 mm.
