discal cell and 7 discal spots, one of which is yellow, pnnctiform, situate in 1 b close at vein 1, and one hyaline 
spot each in 2, 3, 4, 6 to 8; the spot in 4 is pnnctiform (or rarely absent) and is situate in an almost straight 
line with the dots of the areas 6 to 8; beneath brownish-grey and scantily strewn with yellowish scales. Hindwing 
above generally only with 2, beneath with 2 to 5 discal dots, but without a dot in the discal cell. Fringes of 
forewing brownish-grey, of hindwing distally whitish. Palpi below whitish. Chest and ventrum with grey or 
yellowish hair. The $ is unknown to me. This species so closely agrees with mathias that it differs in fact 
almost only by the absence of the mealy spot of the forewing and by the presence of a small discal dot in 
1 b. This proves how erroneous it is to establish P. mathias as the type of a separate genus (Chapra). Cameroon 
and Ruwenzori. — hias Strd. is described according to a from Nyassa Land and is said to exhibit, like fallax , Mas. 
a light not hyaline pnnctiform spot in area 1 b of the forewing, whereby it evidently differs from mathias 
It therefore probably belongs to fallax. 
P. mabea Holl. (77 e). Wings dark brown, beneath somewhat lighter, and on the hindwing with a mabea. 
slight reddish hue. Otherwise it only differs from fallax by the marks stated in the review. Ogowe Valley. 
P. bauri Plotz (79a) is copied from Plotz’ original figure. The description says: ,,Upper surface bauri. 
blackish-green; forewing with 2 white hyaline dots obliquely above each other in the discal cell, and one 
each in 2, 3 and 6, all remote from each other. The body is not strong. Antennae half the length of the 
forewing. 15 mm. Aburi.“ The species is otherwise unknown to me. 
P. argyrodes Holl. (78 h). Beside the marks stated in the review, the hindwing is beneath dark brown, argyrodes. 
with a purple hue on the margin and with 4 small lustrous silvery spots. Ogowe Valley. 
P. saxicola Neave is a species with broad wings, an expanse of about 35 mm, recognizable by the saxicota. 
marks mentioned in the review. Wings above dark greyish brown; the spots in the discal cell of the forewing 
are separate. Katanga in the southern Congo District. 
P. larea Neave. Wings broad and roundish, above dark brown; fringes long whitish or yellowish; Jarea. 
palpi yellowish. Rhodesia. 
P. leucophaea Holl. (77 b). The two white spots in the discal cell of the forewing are separate and of leucophaea. 
a slanting position, otherwise described in the review. Above black, the forewing and the basal part of the 
hindwing also beneath blackish; hindwing beneath with a white dot in the discal cell. Ogowe Valley. 
P. unistriga Holl. Antennae black; club beneath of a bright yellow, palpi beneath whitish, chest grey tmisiriga. 
and ventrum of a pure white. Forewing above blackish with greenish hair at the base; discal cell with small 
separate spots; discal spots in 1 b to 4, 6 and 7; hindwing beneath with a white dot in the discal cell. Ogowe 
Valley. 
P. ogrugana Lathy (79 c). Discernible from the other species of this group by the large white spot ogrugcina. 
at the end of the discal cell of the hindwing. Nigeria. 
P, tarace Mab. is sufficiently described in the review. Sierra Leone. tarace. 
P. wambo Plotz (77 c) is described in the review. Reported from Africa. wambo. 
P. statirides Holl. (78 i) is well distinguished by the hindwing beneath. Ogowe Valley. statirides. 
P. statira Mab. (78 h) is fully described in the review. Sierra Leone. statira. 
P. flavifasciola Ham. Druce differs from all the other species by the hindwing showing on both sides flavifascio- 
a sharply defined yellow median transverse band; this transverse band is above only about 2 mm broad, 
anteriorly somewhat narrowed; beneath it is much broader extended to vein 8 and in area- 7 about 5 mm broad. 
South Cameroon. 
P. netopha Hew. (78 h). Antennae black. Tegument at the proximal margin red-haired. Abdomen netopha. 
beneath white with two rows of black spots. Beside the marks mentioned in the review, this species differs 
from all the others by the hindwing beneath being decorated with nine distinct black dots; two of them are 
near the base (in 1 c and 7), one at the apex of the discal cell, and six discal spots in a bow, one each in 1 c 
to 7. The ground-colour beneath is very variable and has caused several forms to be established, which, 
however, are not sharply separated. In the typical form the hindwing and the apex of the forewing beneath 
yellowish with or without a reddish hue, and with short black longitudinal lines at the margin on the internerval 
folds, and with a fine black marginal line. West Africa to Uganda. — nyassae Hew. (= roncilgonis Plotz , cojo nyassae. 
Karsch) (78 h). On the under surface the hindwing and the apex of the forewing show a violettish-grey ground¬ 
colour, distinct dark rays at the margin on the internerval folds, and a very fine black marginal line which 
may also be absent on the forewing. Togo; Angola; Rhodesia; Maslmna Land, — ab. ennuari Riley only differs ennuari. 
from nyassae by its lighter under surface. Solwezi.
