and to the inner margin. Exterior line threefold, outward as far as vein 6, then obliquely inward, the exterior 
branch with an oblique dark band to vein 3 at the margin. A black quadrangular spot at the costal margin before 
the submarginal line which is indistinctly white. Hindwing dark brown, with 2 black streaks at the inner margin 
near the anal angle. The $ has a less dark thorax and base of the forewing. 22—24 mm. India, Ceylon, Singapore. 
stidoprocta. Ph. stictoprocta limps. (32 li). Body and forewing cinnamon brown. Interior line dark, far outward to 
the lower edge of the cell, then just as far inward. A lighter shine behind it. Reniform macula very narrow, 
dark, finely edged with white. Exterior line very indistinct, sharply extra-angular at vein 6. Submarginal line 
whitish, still more indistinct. Hindwing smoky brown, yellowish at the base. 30 mm. Sikkim. Presumably 
only 1 $ known. 
fasciatrix. Ph. fasciatrix Semp. (32 h). Body and forewing dark red-brown, transverse lines rather indistinct. Two 
double interior lines, distantly separated, excurved below the cell. The reniform macula is a large white spot, 
far inward, an indistinct median line proceeding from it. Exterior line also double, excurved behind the cell. 
moneida. A few more dark lines behind it. Hindwing paler, white dots at the margin. — In moneida Low. the reniform 
macula is not white but brownish ochreous, surrounded with white dots. 22—26 mm. Philippines, Queensland. 
— We figure the type of fasciatrix. 
scelerata. Ph. scelerata Holl. (32 h) resembles the other species still less than fasciatrix. Forew'ing very broad. 
Body and forewing somewhat lighter than in fasciatrix. Interior and median lines indistinct, double. Reniform 
macula strigiform according to the description; according to the figure both the maculae are round, edged with 
black. Exterior line double, blackish, quite indistinct. The whitish notched submarginal line more distinct. 
Hindwing brown, whitish at the base. 22 mm. Presumably only 1 $ known, from Buru. 
strigilipen- Ph. strigilipennis Warr. Body dark brown. Forewing greyish red with a violet reflection. Basal half 
ms. ver y dark as far as the median line. Interior and median lines visible in it, blackish between them. Reniform 
macula oblique, red-brown, edged with white. Sometimes there is a small white ring-macula in the black band. 
Exterior line double, bent at vein 6, thicker black in front. Behind it another finer black double line with white 
dots. Submarginal line black, proceeding from a black triangle at the costal margin. Hindwing dark brown, 
in the $ the base lighter, in the diaphanous between veins 6 and 2. Blackish at the inner margin in the 
and $. 28—30 mm. New Guinea. 
carnea. Ph. carnea Warr. Body and forewing flesh-coloured. Interior line dark grey, blackish at the ends, ex- 
curved in the middle, darker flesh-coloured behind it. Exterior line oblique as far as vein 6, edged with greyish 
green, then finer, ending in a black spot at the inner margin. A dark brick-red triangle edged with dark behind 
it at the costal margin; a red shadow at vein 6 before the indistinct submarginal line. A white luniform spot in 
the cell, a dark red one behind it. Grey at the apex. Hindwing flesh-coloured, pale at the base. 22—24 mm. 
North India. 
bifascies. Ph. bifascies Wkr. (= repleta Wkr., impleta Wkr.) (33 f). Body and forewing reddish brown, with a 
green shine and similar dark marking. A few dark spots at the base. Median band broad, somewhat inward, 
enclosing the ring-macula as a white dot. Reniform macula yellowish white, narrow, the indistinct median line 
proceeding from its upper edge. Exterior line interrupted, as a thick acute angle behind the cell, as a high triangle 
at the inner margin, a parallel dark line behind it. At the costal margin follows the usual spot with an adjoining 
light submarginal line and dark spots behind it. Hindwing brown. 32—36 mm. Ceylon. — Larva green with 
a paler head and few hairs on the tubercles. Stigmata brown, the lateral lines pale yellow. 
delatrix. Ph. delatrix Gn. (32 h). The species being widely distributed and very variable has received a number 
of other names: infida Wkr., ludatrix Wkr., opposita Wkr., subocellata Wkr., praetexta Fid. Body and forewing 
pale red-brown, sometimes more or less tinged with lilac. Basal half darker as far as the distinct vertical median 
line, before which the ring-macula appears as a white dot. Close behind the median line follows the flattened 
reniform macula, brown, edged with white. A bluish band below it as far as the exterior line, especially distinct 
in New Guinea specimens. Exterior line extra-angular behind the cell, darker before it, continued finer towards 
the inner margin. A fine excurved line behind it and the usual apical triangle. Hindwing brown, lighter at the 
plusioides. base. — plusioides Wkr. (32 i) are grey specimens with distinct lines. — palliatrix Gn. is paler brown, with distinct 
palliatrix. ii neSj no t darker behind the reniform macula. 28—32 mm. India and Indo-China, Borneo, Australia. — Larva 
green, paler on the sides, the dorsal lines whitish, small spots on the sides. 
pantarcha. Ph. pantarcha Trnr. Body greyish brown. Forewing darker as far as the vertical median line, pale 
grey behind it, somewhat darker again only at the margin. Reniform macula long, narrow, obliquely bent, 
broader below, like a reverse comma. The triangular spot behind it as in delatrix. A line from the upper end 
of the reniform macula, excurved at vein 5. The dark apical spot divided by 3 or 4 pale lines. A dark double 
streak before it. Hindwing dark. 36—38 mm. Queensland.
