P. costicomma Hmps. Also similar to anachoretcc. The thorax lacks the dark longitudinal streak. On costicomma. 
the forewing beside the 2 usual interior lines another line from before % costal margin to the inner margin 
near the exterior line. This line occurs also in German anachoreta. 25—28 mm. North India. 
P. transecta Diulg. (80 b). Similar to anachoreta. The apical spot is cut off by a light straight line from tmnsecta. 
3 / 5 costal margin to the distal margin at vein 3. Exterior line finer, more undulated. Before it an angular median 
shadow. Before the distal margin dark spots. $ paler. The light lines more distinct. The apical spot with light 
distal and anterior edges. 35—38 mm. Sikkim. - Larva greyish-brown with a broad dingy white dorsal line, 
interrupted by the dark brown spot on the protuberance of the 4th segment, with 2 white accessory spots. A 
double lateral row of yellowish-brown warts, above them a pale line. On the 11th segment a similar protuberance. 
P. restitura Wkr. (= indica Mr.) may be described as an anastomosis (Vol. II, p. 314) in which the restitura. 
exterior line has the same course from the inner margin to vein 4, but then not below the costal margin distally, 
but uniformly slightly incurved onward. The black wedge to the anal angle is still present in indica. 22—30 mm. 
Bengal, South India, Ceylon. 
P. angularis Sn. (80 h). Similar to transecta, but without the angled shadow. Instead of it the reniform angularis. 
macula is present and prolonged parallel to the interior line indistinctly as far as the submedian fold. 30—35 mm. 
Sumatra, Java. The apical spot extends to vein 4. Exterior line rather sharply incurved at vein 3. 
P. apicalis Sn. i. 1. (80 f). Similar to transecta. The two interior lines almost parallel. Behind the second apicalis. 
at some distance a parallel shadow, beginning where it ends in transecta. The exterior white line borders inside 
on the apical spot and is obtusely bent. The lower border of the apical spot is situate at vein 4, only at the 
margin it goes narrowly down to vein 3. $ 35 mm. Java. 
P. cupreafa Btlr. Thorax and fore wing pale reddish brown. Forewing with 2 pale oblique interior lines, cupreata.. 
The first angled at the median vein, the second bent to the inner margin. Median line excurved and meeting 
the straight exterior line at the inner margin. Reniform macula blackish-brown. £ 26 mm. Punjab. 
P. rubida Drc. (80 h). The original description runs as follows: forewing pale reddish-brown with 2 pale rubida. 
indistinct lines and black submarginal spots. Specimens from the typical patria, however, look as follows: the 
two interior lines fine white; the first slightly removed inwards at the costal margin. Reniform macula edged 
with rusty red. Below its interior edge a feeble oblique rusty red line to the inner margin, behind it somewhat 
darker. Exterior line vertical to the inner margin, curved S-like; behind it, with the apex towards the cross¬ 
vein, a broad V-shaped rusty red line. Behind the submarginal dots also rusty red, $ lighter. 30—40 mm. 
Trobriand Is. Also from New Guinea (Ekeikei 500 m, Mt. Kebea 2000 m). 
P. undulata Hmps. $. Pale olive brown. The two interior lines dentate, the exterior one of them undulata. 
oblique and angular near the inner margin. Exterior line undulately curved, the dark submarginal line distinct. 
Below the apex a dark shadow. $ 28 mm. North-West Himalaya, Nilgiris. 
P. ferruginea Mr. (80 h). Eorewing with 2 interior lines, the first of which is bent, the other straight, ferruginea. 
Exterior line also straight, before it a short oblique line at the inner margin. At the cell-end 2 dark spots and 2 
indistinct rows of submarginal spots. $ 35 mm. North-Eastern Bengal. 
P. dorsalis Wkr. (= atrifrons Wkr.) (80 e). Described here from a specimen of the Coll. Staitdinger dorsalis. 
identified as dorsalis. Fore wing olive brown with 3 parallel oblique lines, the last of which is in the centre of 
the wing and does not quite reach to the costal margin. Behind it somewhat darker. Then a line from 3 / 5 costal 
margin obliquely to vein 3 and vertically to the inner margin. 5 38 mm. Borneo, Mindanao. 
P. castanea Rothsch. (80 h). Thorax very dark red-brown, forewing little lighter. Interior line undulated, castanea. 
bluish-white, double. The two branches at the costal margin almost from the same place. The exterior branch 
below the cell parted once more. The space behind it darker. Before the cross-vein a black spot. Exterior 
hne undulated, excurved below the costal margin as well as at veins 3 and 1. $ 30 mm. New Guinea (litoral 
districts), 1 26 mm. Kwangtung. 
P. geminata sp. n. (80 h) is rather different. Mesothorax and fore wing almost blackish-brown. Interior geminata. 
line bluish-white, double, undulated, parallel, obliquely outwards. The double exterior line on hardly - :>> of 
the length of the wing, excurved behind the cell, extra-angular in the submedian fold. Behind the indistinct 
black submarginal spots from the costal margin to vein 4 dark rusty red, before it at the costal margin 2 lighter 
spots. Abdomen and hindwing red-brown. $ 32 mm. South-Eastern Sumatra. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
The 3 following genera look very strange. 
97. Genus: l^stsioceros Beth.-Bak. 
Palpi bent up to the frons. Antennae typically in the <$ flattened, above as far as % of their length hairy 
and ciliated. Anterior tarsi very long. Hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs. Abdomen with a short hair-tuft. In
