00. The black apex of the forewing above is moderately bioad, it does not cover the base 
of the areas 4 to 0 and is rather distantly remote from the apex of the discocellular. 
P. rot ha. 
§§. The black marginal band above is less broad and, therefore, does not reach the discal dots 
in the areas l b to 3 on the forewing and 1 c to 6 on the hindwing. If the discal dots are 
absent above, their position beneath is easily visible, if one holds the wings against the light. 
0. Discocellular of the forewing with three black dots at most. 
1. Marginal band on the hindwing above broad. Ground-colour beneath pure without 
striae. P. amenaida. 
P. multiplagata. 
2. Marginal band on the hindwing above narrow, linear. Ground-colour red, beneath 
speckled with grey scales. P. amenaidoides. 
00. Discocellular of the forewing with 5 black dots 
with black striae and minute dots. 
Wings beneath at least at the margin 
P. mornbasae. 
**. Both wings beneath at the margin with thick black streaks on the internerval folds. Discocellular 
of the forewing without black dots. Costal margin of the forewing above narrow black. 
P. clnrensis. 
P. paidi. 
jS The wings beneath without discal and submarginal dots or only with small and indistinct similar 
dots. Above there is usually only one black dot at the end of the cell, sometimes there are also some 
small basal dots. Fore wing above at the costal margin, at least as far as the discocellular, blackish. 
*. Both wings with a distinct black dot at the end of the discocellular. 
§. The black marginal band on the forewing above does not reach the apex of the discocellular 
and does not cover the base of the areas 5 and 6. P. petreia. 
§§. The black marginal band on the forewing above reaches the apex of the discocellular and 
covers the base of the areas 5 and 0. P. inconspicua. 
**. Both wings without a black discal dot. 
P. parapeireia. 
B. The hindwing above without a dark marginal band or marginal line and usually also without marginal 
dots, but sometimes with small marginal streaks extended on the fringes as black spots. Forewing 
above at the costal margin not or only narrowly darkened. 
*. Both wings.beneath without submarginal dots; the discal dots are also absent or they are small 
or incomplete. On the upper surface the wings have only one discal dot and sometimes also 1 to 5 
basal dots. ' P. paucipunctata. 
**. The wings beneath with distinct discal and submarginal dots. 
1. Both wings above without discal dots; the hindwings also without submarginal dots. 
2. Both wings above with discal dots. 
P. tropicalis. 
7.. The apex of the forewing above at least 3 or 4 mm broad, black. Both wings above with 
submarginal dots which are more or less united with the border on the foiewing. P. lasti. 
[1. The apex of the forewing above in the q scarcely or very little blackened. Both wings above 
without submarginal dots. Ground-colour bright orange-yellow . P. occidentalimn. 
II. Wings of a light sulphur-yellow or white ground-colour, and only close at the base somewhat ochreous- 
yellow. 
A. Both wings below and at least also the hindwings also above with distinct, separate, dark marginal 
dots at the ends of the veins. 
a. The wings on both sides with discal dots, beneath also with submarginal dots.
