P. vermiculata Snell. (= glaucescens Btlr., undara Swinh.) Forewing grey suffused with .vermiculata. 
brown and irrorated with black; lines black; subbasal line waved from costa to submedian fold; inner 
and outer lines double; the inner waved, oblique; the outer shortly bent outwards below costa, excurved 
above and oblique below vein 4, denticulate; subterminal line grey, preceded by a fuscous shade and 
black points below costa and at middle; claviform stigma a black mark; orbicular absent; reniform with 
grey annulus and brown lunule at centre, with some red on its inner side, and the cell dark before 
it; hindwing brownish grey. Snellen’s type of vermiculata from Celebes; that of glaucescens Btlr. from Dharm- 
sala in the Punjab; of undara Swinh. from Rangoon, Burma; the species is also found in Ceylon. 
P. pallidisca Moore (16 c). Forewing pale ochreous slightly dusted with dark redbrown; the basal yallidisca. 
and terminal areas suffused with red brown, and an oblique redbrown patch from costa to between the 
stigmata; the dark brown basal area has its outer edge oblique from % of costa to % of inner mar¬ 
gin, where it touches the outer line and terminal area; inner and outer lines double, black filled in with 
paler, the inner curved, the outer lunulate dentate, outcurved to submedian fold; subterminal line obscure, 
but preceded by darker blotches, and sometimes marked by pale ochreous spots between veins; clavi- 
form stigma brown, obscure; orbicular and reniform large, pale ochreous with black outline; the former 
oval and oblique, confluent above with a pale costal patch; the latter with a black centre; hindwing 
whitish, with large grey cellspot and a diffuse fuscous tinge along termen; the species is subject to 
considerable variation; —■ the ochreous median area may be washed with brown as in the ab. fusca fusca. 
Moore (16 c); — or the whole forewing may be uniform redbrown, the basal and terminal areas not 
marked blacker; this is the ab. nubila Moore (16 d); lastly, the whole wing becomes dark brownish nubila. 
fuscous, with the two upper stigmata standing out conspicuously white, as in ab. albiorbis Moore (16 c), albiorbis. 
this last form appearing very distinct. Mainly a Sikkim species, where all the forms occur together; 
also found in the Khasia and Naga Hills, Assam, but I have only seen the fusca form from these last 
localities. 
P. glaucostigma Hmps. (16 d). Forewing reddish ochreous with dark brown suffusion and blackish glauco- 
irroration; lines double, black, filled in with white; the inner strongly excurved below cell; the outer, more stl 9 l,,a - 
yellowish white towards costa, lunulate dentate, excurved above and incurved below vein 4; subterminal 
line yellowish white, generally consisting of lunules, preceded by some dentate black marks and a large 
blotch in submedian interval, and followed by some slight dark shading; orbicular and reniform stigmata 
brown at centre, with yellowish white annuli defined by blackish; the former oblique, elliptical, the latter 
constricted at middle; median shade dark, distinct in costal half; fringe blackish, with a pale basal line and 
pale chequering; hindwing yellowish white, the terminal area as well as the veins brownish; traces of an 
outer line marked by dots on veins. Described from a single <$ from E. Pegu. 
P. khasiana Hmps. (= obliquifascia Hmps., repetita Swinh. nec Btlr.) (16 d). Forewing pale grey khasiana. 
tinged slightly with brownish, or whitish grey with no tinge of brown; lines black, double, filled in 
with pale; inner line excurved between the veins, preceded by an irregular fuscous shading, forming 
an oblique outward black bar from inner margin, and followed by an oblique blackish shade from 
costa, which absorbs the dark claviform stigma and runs above vein 1 to outer line, which is lunulate 
dentate, strongly outcurved above, and followed by a whitish patch on submedian fold; subterminal line 
obscure, marked only by slightly darker shades and often followed beyond cell by a diffuse dark trian¬ 
gular shade; orbicular and reniform pale grey or ochreous, with darker centres and black outlines, open 
above; a blackish mark from costa between their upper halves; a black terminal lunule at end of vein 2; 
hindwing dull whitish, with grey cellspot and veins and the termen diffusely fuscous. Khasia Hills, Assam; 
E. Pegu; Bhutan; Travancore. 
P. hastata Moore (16 d). Forewing purplish brown, with some fuscous shading; an irregular hasiata. 
oblique green streak before inner line from middle to inner margin; inner line blackish, inwardly greenish- 
grey, curved and crenulate; outer line double, dark filled in with green at both extremities, bent outwards 
below costa, then denticulate, bent on vein 4; subterminal green, defined on each side by blackish, expand¬ 
ing into a patch at inner margin; small terminal black lunules; fringe brown, with pale lines at base 
and middle; claviform stigma pointed, suffused with fuscous and edged with black; orbicular and reniform 
brown, their annuli pale rufous outlined with black; the orbicular oblique, elliptical; median shade bent at 
middle; hindwing pale brownish, the veins and terminal border darker; cellspot dark; a fine black terminal 
line; fringe whitish, with dark line through it and the tips dark. Sikkim and Assam, N. India. Ap¬ 
parently a rare species, few examples being known. 
P. umbrifera Btlr. (16 d). Forewing grey with fuscous dusting; the basal area and the inner umbrifera. 
marginal area to outer line dark fuscous; inner and outer lines blackish, conversely edged with whitish 
grey; the inner slightly excurved from costa to vein 1, then strongly bent outwards to inner margin; 
the outer strongly excurved in upper course, on vein 2 angled outwards to near termen, then inbent
