above is generally absent in the <$, where as in the $ it is always distinct and white. Sierre Leone to South 
and East Africa. 
P. caffraria Plotz (= fatuellus Wall.) (78 e) differs from fatuella only by the monotonously dark brown 
under surface of the hindwing exhibiting no spots or 3 or 4 light dots. Cameroon to South and East Africa. 
P. ferruginea sp. n. Both wings above blackish-brown; the forewing with 6 small discal spots, a 
yellowish one in 1 b and one hyaline spot each in 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8; hindwing xmi-coloured without spots. Forewing 
beneath at the costal margin, at the apex and distal margin as far as vein 2, hindwing almost everywhere of 
a bright ferruginous brown. Forewing beneath at the posterior margin as far as into the discal cell and as far 
as vein 2 or 3 blackish, hindwing on both sides of vein 1 b darkened. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. East 
Africa: Daressalaam. 
P. entebbea Swh. is unknown to me. According to the description, the abdomen and wings are almost 
monotonously brownish-black, the forelegs and middle legs and the hind tarsi are orange-yellowy forew'ing 
above with two hyaline discal spots, the posterior spot being larger, and with three subapical dots, the middle 
dot being a little nearer to the base; the $ shows besides a small, lower discal spot; forewing beneath at the 
posterior margin broadly lighter; no other markings. Uganda: Entebbe. — According to this description it 
cannot be distinguished from the following species alberti. 
P. alberti Holl. (78 f). Wings blackish-brown; forewing with white discal spots in 2, 3, 6 to 8, the 
spot in 7 nearer to the base, beneath at the posterior margin as far as vein 2 somewhat lighter; hindwing on 
both sides uni-coloured without markings. The $ deviates by the forewing above showing a small discal spot 
behind the centre of vein 1. Cameroon to Gabun, Ruwenzori and Usambara. 
P. xylos Mat. (78 g), as the figure shows, is very closely allied to alberti, but larger, and it has 
differently shaped discal spots on the forewing. Gabun. 
P. poutieri Bsd. (= ibara Plotz) (78 e, f). Wings above blackish; forewing with three generally very 
small discal spots (in 2, 3 and 6); hindwing without spots. See also the review of the species and the figures. 
Madagascar. 
P. marchalii Bsd. only differs from ‘poutieri by the reddish scaling of the wings beneath. Madagascar: 
Nossi-Be. Mauritius. 
P. morella Joannis, from the Seychelles, seems only to differ from marchalii by the forewing above 
showing a discal dot in area 6 and the discal dots beneath being black-ringed. 
P. havei Bsd. (78 f, g). Forewing only with twm discal spots (in 2 and 3); both wings beneath with 
a grey ground-colour, and the hindwing in the centre darkened. Madagascar. 
P. aures Mab. Wings above greyish-brown; forewing with hyaline spots in 2 and 3 and generally 
with hyaline dots in 6; hindwing not marked. Forewing beneath spotted as above, and besides with a white 
spot in 1 b. The hindwing beneath is described in the review. Mashuna Land and East Africa. 
P. can a Lathy (77 d). Wings above olive-brown; forewing with hyaline spots in 2 and 3 and hyaline 
dots in 6 and 7. Hindwing above not marked, beneath grey with a violet hue and three small white discal dots. 
Nyassa Land. 
P. albigutta Mab. Wings above blackish-grey, beneath lighter grey; forewing with hyaline spots 
in 2, 3 (and 4) and subapical hyaline dots in 6 and 7; hindwing above with white dots in 2 and 3, and beneath 
generally also in 4 to 6. The antennae are shorter than usually in the species of Parnara. Madagascar. 
P. anelia B.-Bak. is unknown to me. The description says: ..Both wings dingy brown with hyaline 
spots. Forewing with a spot in 2 and a smaller one in 3, a minute dot in 4, a dot in 7 and a small one in 8. 
Hindwdng with a short transverse row of 4 discal dots between the veins 2 and 6. Under surface greyish with 
the same hyaline spots as above. 32 mm.“ Congo District: Mawarnba-Makala. 
P. neoba Mab. ,,Wings above smoke-brown; forewing with 5 unequally large, whitish spots: two 
dots at the apex and three small spots in the areas 2, 3, 4; that of area 2 is triangular and much larger. 
Hindwing with a row of 5 whitish-yellow dots in the areas 3, 4, 5, and 6; that of area 5 is double. Fringes 
grey. Forewing beneath blackish, darker at the margin; the spots as above. Hindwing beneath yellowish- 
grey, with the same dots as above; they are, however, distally bordered with black. Palpi grey, antennal club 
beneath whitish, at the apex black. 21 mm.“ Cameroon. 
The following seven species are distinguished by the being above uni-coloured dark brown or blackish-brown 
without spots or markings. The frequently insignificant differences of the species have been stated in the review and need 
not be repeated here. 
P. palocampta Ham. Drc. Blackish-brown; forewing beneath at the posterior margin somewhat lighter.
