P. virgata Wilem. Pale brown with rusty brown radial blotches below and in the cell. At the inner 
margin darker brown. An exterior row of black dots, and black marginal dots. Distal margin very oblique. 
Hindwing dark brown. $ 50 mm. Formosa. 
P. eupatagia Hmps. Forewing whitish, interior area violettish-grey. At the base a dark spot and a 
streak at the median vein. Interior line dentate, indistinct, exterior line dark, from the apex a streak extends 
to it. Before the margin black spots. Hindwing blackish-brown, at the apex lighter. $ 50, § 35 ( ?) mm. Sikkim. 
P. obliqua Hmps. Body and forewing ochreous brown. An oblique smoke-brown shadow from the apex 
to before the centre of the inner margin, with a dark spot in it below the cell and crossed by a faded radial band 
which is yellowish at the base and brown at the cell-end. An interior and exterior row of dark dots and a sub- 
marginal row of oblique streaks. Hindwing smoke-brown. <$ 38 mm. Khasia Hills. 
P. albifusa Wilem. Forewing ochreous brown, at the base whitish. The narrow radial band to the apex 
and the veins darker. The former pointed at the beginning and end. At the distal margin some dark lines. 
42—48 mm. Formosa. 
P. sordida Wilem. Similar to albifusa , but the radial streak straighter to the distal margin, where it is 
broader and connected with a brown line to the apex. An exterior row of black dots and one at the margin. 
Hindwing pale brown. 45—50 mm. Formosa. 
P. frugalis Leech. This species described in Vol. II, p. 316, enters the Indian Region in the North- 
Western Himalaya (Kangra-Valley). 
P. nebulosa Wilem. Fore wing whitish-brown, in the disc darker. The subbasal, interior, exterior, and 
marginal lines are composed of black dots. A brown radial stripe leads to a spot behind the interior line. From 
the apex a brown oblique streak to the exterior line, and two more before it. Hindwing dark brown. 40—42 mm. 
Formosa. 
P. aurata Hmps. (82 d). Forewing in its anterior half and at the base golden yellow, the rest slightly 
brownish. Traces of an oblique rusty red interior, median, and exterior line at the costal margin. At the cross¬ 
vein a black spot. From % costal margin a row of black dots, white marginal lunae and black dots before them. 
Hind wing dark brown. In the forewing the accessory cell is relatively long. 50—55 mm. Sikkim, Khasia Hills. 
P. fasciata Mr. (82 e). Ochreous brown with light spots in the cell, beloyv the apex, and before the distal 
margin. Behind the cell a slightly curved dark band and a row of blackish-brown dots. Hindwing dark reddish- 
brown. Antennae of dentate and tufted. L 65 mm. Darjeeling. 
P. sikkima Mr. (82 d, e). Forewing orange, a spot at the cross-vein surrounded by red-brown. Inner 
margin as far as vein 2 red-brown. A double exterior row of red-brown dots, behind them double spots extending 
from the apex, and dark marginal dots. 55—60 mm. Sikkim. essa Swh. Pale ochreous-brown, in the $ 
darker. Fore wing with many transverse rows of dark spots, which are incurved at the inner margin. Behind 
the cell, at the apex and inner margin darker. Marginal dots black. 50—60 mm. According to Hampson essa 
belongs to sikkima, according to Elwes it is a form of pallida. 
P. divisa Mr. (82 f). Forewing ochreous brown. From the base of the costal margin through the cell 
and more narrowly onward at vein 4 a reddish-brown band. An exterior row of black dots and one at the 
margin. Hindwing dark brown. $ 50 mm. Sikkim. 
P. albistriga Mr. (82 f). Brown, with a slight violet reflection. Similar to divisa, but smaller and the 
distal margin slightly notched. Below vein 4 near the distal margin a silvery white streak. 45—50 mm. Sikkim, 
Formosa. kanshireiensis Wilem. According to the author almost the same as albistriga. No differences 
mentioned in the description. Formosa. All my albistriga are without the accessory cell. 
P. nigropuncta Hmps. Fore wing ochreous brown and red-brown, with traces of an undulating red- 
brown interior and exterior line. With a conspicuous black spot below vein 5 and a red-brown streak at the 
apex. Black marginal spots, before them traces of a dark submarginal line. <$ 45 mm. Sikkim. 
P. basistriga Mr. (82 e). Coloured like nigropuncta. At the base a distinct red-brown streak. Interior 
and exterior lines absent. Hindwing somewhat less dark. 40 mm. Sikkim. 
P. nigrofasciata Hmps. Separated from nigropuncta by a dark radial band to the centre of the distal 
margin. Ground-colour pale olive brown. J 45 mm. Sikkim. acyptera Hmps. (82 f). According to Elwes a 
form of nigrofasciata. Forewing yellow, dusted with rusty brown. Interior line indistinct, rusty brown, angled 
in the centre, exterior line from near the apex, both almost to the centre of the inner margin.. Below the centre 
of the cell a black spot. Hindwing pale red-brown, at the apex and margin lighter. $ 55 mm. Jaintia Hills.
