2. Forewing above only with small yellow spots. P. idis. 
B. Hindwing above with a yellow spot in the discal cell and a large yellow area outside of the discal cell, both 
sometimes united with each other, so that the greatest part of the hindwing above turns yellow. 
a. Hindwing above in the discal cell with a small yellow spot which is entirely or almost entirely separated 
from the large yellow discal area. 
*. Discal spots of the forewing all or nearly all transparent, light yellow. 
1. The yellow discal spot in 1 b of the forewing is oblong and almost exactly as long as the hyaline 
spot in 2; the discal spots 4 and 5 are quadrangular and contiguous, generally not transparent ; the 
discal spots 6 to 8 are oblong. P. edipus. 
2. The yellow discal spot in 1 b of the forewing is transverse, much shorter than the hyaline spot 
in 2; discal spots 4 and 5 punctiform, separate, transparent ; discal spots 6 to 8 small, punctiform. 
P. sator. 
Cf. also reichenoivi 
**. All the spots of the forewing above yellow or orange-yellow, not transparent. 
1. Forewing above with large, mostly united, yellow spots. The discal area of the hindwing above 
is large, rounded off, and in the areas 3 to 5 it almost reaches to the margin. P. incerta. 
2. Forewing above with smaller, orange-yellow spots. The discal spot of the hindwing above, between 
the veins 2 and 6, forms an almost equally broad (about 2 mm) transverse band, which is everywhere 
broadly separated from the margin. P. herilus. 
(L Hindwing above for the greatest part yellow, only at the costal margin, base, and proximal margin coloured 
black, rarely as far as the apex of the discal cell black, in the latter case, however, without a yellow spot 
in the discal cell. 
*. The yellow spot or double spot in the apex of the cell on the forewing is not connected with the base 
of the wing by fine yellow longitudinal streaks. The discal spots G to 8 of the forewing are as usually 
small, punctiform or somewhat oblong, but they never form together an equilateral triangle. 
§. Discal spots of the forewing transparent, yellow or rarely whitish. 
1. At least the discal spots 1 b to 3 of the forewing above united, only separated by the veins. 
P. reichenoivi. 
2. All the discal spots of the fore wing small and separated from each other. The light area 
on the hindwing above reaches quite up to the margin. P. bule. 
§§. All the spots of the forewing yellow or brownish-yellow, not transparent. 
1. The discal spots 1 b to 3 of the forewing above separated from each other. P. xanthopeplus. 
2. The discal spots 1 a to 3 of the forewing above united into a slanting band (A) or at least 
the spots 2 and 3 contiguous. P. arid. 
**. The yellow spot in the apex of the cell of the forewing is connected with the base of the wing by 
two yellow longitudinal streaks. The discal spots 6 to 8 of the forewing together form an almost 
equilateral triangle, the spot in 6 being long, that in 7 shorter, and that in 8 punctiform. P. asirape. 
P. fan Holl. entirely agrees with Pardaleodes in the structure of the veins, whereas in the colouring fan. 
and marking it agrees with the forms of the preceding genus. Wings above jet-black; forewing in the centre 
with a reddish-yellow transverse band of about- 6 mm width from the costal margin to veinl ; it is composed 
of oblong spots, only separated by the likewise yellow veins, in 1 b, 2, 3, 9 to 12 and in the discal cell, 
the spot in 12 does not quite reach to the costal margin, but leaves a fine line of the ground-colour blank. 
Hindwing above uni-coloured without markings, beneath with indistinct angular black spots on a somewhat- 
lighter ground. In the typical form the black apical part of the forewing above is not marked, but beneath 
it shows three minute white dots, one in 4 and one each in 7 and 8. South Cameroon. — kamagamba B.-Bak. kamagamba. 
seems only to differ by the forewing above showing yellow discal dots in 4, 5, 7 and 8. Kamagambo. — 
scalaris Griinb. ,,The two light subapical spots below the cost-a (costal margin) of the forewing, and the small scalaris. 
submarginal spot in area 4, which are confined to the under surface in P. fan, are here also present above; 
the submarginal spot is orange-yellow like the median band, the two anterior small spots are whitish-yellow. 
On the under surface all of them are whitish-yellow. The broad yellow median band, being rather vertical 
in fan, is here obliquely pointing distally; the proximal border-line runs almost rectilinearly from the costal 
margin a little before the end of the first third to the centre of the posterior margin; the distal margin 
is removed outwards on vein 4 and extends from here vertically to vein 1 with a slight distal convexity/ 4 Expanse 
of wings: 29% mm. Sesse Islands; Ruwenzori; Rutchuru plains. 
P. edipus Cr. (79 c) is easily determinable from the review of the species and the figures. Sierra Leone edipus.
