hindwing beneath narrow. ?: all the markings of the upper surface white. Abyssinia. 
P. fuelleborni Karsch (2c). cf: central band of both wings white, narrow on the forewing, only fuelleborni. 
6 mm. broad posteriorly, on the hindwing 12 — 14 mm. broad and rounded distally. Both wings entirely 
without submarginal spots, but with distinct marginal lunules. ?: forewing above with pure white spots, 
arranged as in jacksoni-% except that the submarginal spot in cellule 8 is placed at the margin. The large 
median spot of the forewing yellowish white or ochre-yellow; all the submarginal spots placed at the 
margin and united with the white marginal lunules. — German East Africa; in the interior.

band very narrow, on the hindwing only 3.5—5 mm. broad, almost uniform in width, on the forewing 
composed of 8 small, widely-separated spots: the white marginal lunules very distinct, especially on the 
hindwing; the deep brown basal area of the hindwing beneath reaches the apex of the cell and is bordered 
distally by a fine white line. The ? differs above from jacksoni -2 only in that the submarginal spot 8 of 
the hindwing is linear and long, and reaches the margin, and that the submarginal spots of the hindwing 
are small and completely united with the marginal lunules. There is a white spot in the middle of cellule 5 
of the hindwing; the brown basal area of the hindwing beneath is much smaller than in the cf and arched 
at the distal side. — German East Africa: Meruberg. 
P. jacksoni E. Sh. (cf 2d, ? 3a). The white median band of the hindwing 5—8 mm. broad; the jacksoni. 
submarginal spots 4—6 mm. from the margin; the brown basal area of the hindwing beneath only reaches 
the base of vein 2. ?: the submarginal spots all more or less removed from the margin and the one 
in cellule 8 of the forewing short and rounded, about 4 mm. from the margin. — German East Africa:

P. zoroastres. In the cfcf the median band is usually pure white, 10 — 13 mm. broad at the hind margin 
of the hindwing, almost rectilinear on both sides and gradually narrower anteriorly; the spots of the forewing 
are larger than in the preceding species and the spot in lb is about 10 mm. broad; the submarginal spots of the 
hindwing are nearly always present and are not united with the marginal lunules. In the ? the submarginal 
spot 8 of the hindwing is placed very near to the margin or quite reaches it; the submarginal spots of the 
hindwing are present and all or almost all removed from the margin. — In the first described form, 
zoroastres Bruce, the markings of the upper surface in the cf are pure white; the forewing with no spot zoroastres.

spots. ? unknown. Fernando Po and Cameroons. — In preussius Karsch the cf has on the upper surface preussius. 
a yellowish white median band; forewing with a small discal spot in cellules 6 and 8, but without sub¬ 
marginal spots; hindwing with 3 free submarginal spots. ?: forewing also with a small submarginal spot in 
cellule 6; all the spots of the forewing above as well as the large spot in the basal cell of the hindwing 
yellowish white. Cameroon Mountains: Buea. — homeyeri Flotz (cf 2d, ? 3a). The cf has the markings homeveri. 
pure white; forewing with an oblong basal spot in cellule 6, almost reaching the small discal spot, and 
with a spot in the cell near to its apex; hindwing with or without submarginal spots. In the ? the fore¬ 
wing has no submarginal spot in cellule 6; the discal area of the hindwing is yellow or pure white.

The two following species are remarkable for the great difference between the cfcf and $?, the 
latter being quite unlike the of the preceding species. It is worthy of note in the cfcf that the band of the 
forewing is much broader, in cellule lb 20 — 24 mm. broad, only becomes gradually narrower anteriorly and consists 
of spots which are more rectangular and only narrowly separated in cellules la—5. Markings of the upper surface 
white or in the ? pale yellowish.

of the hindwing above 12 —15 mm. broad; forewing with 8 spots in 2a—7, of which the spots in lh — 5 
are elongated or obliquely cut off distally, whilst those in 6 and 7 are much shorter and smaller; those in 
cellule 7 are placed nearer to the margin than those in 3 — 6. In the cf-ab. norcyta Suff. (2d) the spot norcvta. 
in cellule 6 is absent. The ?, of which a small, somewhat aberrant specimen is figured on 2d, has a white 
or whitish median band on the hindwing, indistinctly defined distally, a hindmarginal spot of the same 
colour in cellules la—2(—3) of the forewing and a larger or smaller subapical band on the forewing, which 
consists of 5 spots in cellules 4 — 6, 8 and in the apex of the cell. West Africa, from Sierra Leone to

almost rectilinear on both sides, the spots of cellules la — 5 of the forewing still longer and distally rounded; 
the spot in cellule 6 is absent and the spot in cellule 7 is nearer to the margin than those of cellules 2—4. 
The ? shows no light spots at the hindmargin of the forewing, but a large white central area, which
