at the base of the costal margin very narrow black, and with a large black discal spot in 1 c to 3; the dark 
marginal band is represented by three groups of marginal spots, one in 1 a and 1 b, one in 1 c and 3, and the 
third at the apex of the wing in 6 and 7. Nigeria to Gabun. 
P. alenica Strand is unknown to me. ,, Allied with Pard. xanthias Mob. Wings dull black, forewing alenica. 
with 6 dingy white spots: three small, equally sized, somewhat angular punctiform spots forming a triangle 
which is 414 mm distant from the apex of the w ing and 1 mm from the costal margin of the wdng 1,7 mm 
broad and 1 mm long. A similar punctiform spot is in the cell at the end of it, and behind the cell there 
is a subsquare spot towards the margin slightly emarginated, of about 1,2 mm diameter, at the base of area 
2, whilst a trapezoid or triangular spot, only half as large, is situate at the base of area 3. Fringes greyish- 
white with a darker base. Hindwing with a golden yellow median area, so that of the ground-colour only a 
band remains of 2(4 to 3 min width covering the distal and costal margins, but the otherwise black fringes 
are, beginning from the anal angle, yellow in a length of 4 mm, and the apex of the costal margin of the 
hindwing is linearly yellow. In area 5 the black marginal band is narrowed; in the dorsal area the yellow area 
almost extends to the base of the wing, but it encloses there a black longitudinal stripe. — Beneath the forewing 
is as above, but in the centre of the dorsal area with a whitish-yellow area extending to the spot in area 2. 
The hindwing beneath is whitish-yellow with two black, subelliptic marginal spots and with 4 or 5 minute 
dark spots in the dorsal area. —'Body above black, abdomen, how r ever, with a somewhat greyish-green hairing 
forming indistinct bands; body beneath white, legs partly dark; Expanse of wings 29, length of wings 16*4, 
length of body 14 mm.“ South Cameroon: Alen. 
P. kelembaensis Strand is neither known to me. ,,It resembles Pardaleodes xanthias Mad), and j<elembaen- 
xanthioides Hold., but it differs by the under surface and so on. The under surface of the forewing is as SIS 
above, but the yellow spot in the centre of the dorsal area is somewhat larger and not distinctly defined, but 
particularly distally it gradually warms into the colouring of the surroundings. Hindwing beneath for the 
greatest part of the orange colouring of the median area above, but the costal area is dusted with a blurred 
dark brownish colour, particularly in the distal two thirds of its length, but it shows there three small, mixed 
light yellowish spots, whereas in the proximal third of the costal area the yellow colouring expands almost 
to the costal margin. The marginal line is blackish, and there are 3 or 4 small, irregular, dark sublimbal 
spots. Fringes in their basal halves as dark as the marginal line, in their apical halves greyish. — Hindwing 
above with a rounded median area being slightly dentate towards the margin, reaching to the dorsal margin, 
being 3 mm distant from the costal margin, but very much nearing the margin in the anal angle, otherwise the 
hindwing is blackish-brown like the forewing. The forewing shows a whitish, quadrangular spot of 2% mm 
length and 1,2 mm width near the base of area 2, behind it, somewhat farther towards the base, an almost 
equally sized, but roundish and orange spot; in area 3, 1 *4 mm distant from the quadrangular spot, there is 
a roundish white spot of about 1 mm diameter, and a still smaller though similar spot is in area 6; this spot 
and the two other whitish spots form an oblique row which is slightly bent convex towards the margin 
and which, together with the yellow dorsal spot, is directed towards the end of the basal third of the dorsal 
margin and towards the costal margin shortly within its apex. Finally there is a whitish punctiform spot in 
the cell before the large quadrangular spot; corresponding to this punctiform spot there are on the under 
surface two similar punctiform spots arranged in a transverse row. Length of forewing 18 mm.“ Congo District: 
Kelemba. 
P. xanthioides Hold. (79 f) is easily recognizable by the marking of the forewing, the uninterrupted xanthioidcs 
marginal band and the purely yellow ground-colour of the hindwing beneath. The yellow ground-colour of 
the hindwing beneath reaches to the costal margin and has but one small black dot in area 1 c. Ogowe Valley. 
13. Genus: Anclroiiymus Roll. 
It closely approximates the preceding genus by the marking and the absence of vein 5 on the hindwing, 
but differs considerably by the long, subuliform, ,,bare“ terminal joint of the palpus. The genus Aerornecis 
Mad). (1903) is here combined with Andronymus. 
The forewing shows 6 or 7 white hyaline spots (1 or 2 in the discal cell, one each in 2, 3, 6 to 8), 
of which that in 2 is the largest and those in 6 to 8 are generally punctiform; that in 6 is always nearer at 
the margin than those in 7 and 8. Hindwing also with a (large) hyaline spot in the discal cell and generally 
also with three smaller ones in the areas 1 c to 3. Margin of forewing at vein 4 the most prominent, 
behind it somewhat emarginated. The two first palpal joints are smoothly scaled. Hind tibiae with 4 spurs. 
Tip of antennal club short. Palpi in all the species white, the apex of the second joint and the whole third 
joint brown.
