P. flavitermina Hnvps. (13 g). The body and the costal margin of the forewing yellowish wliite almost flavitcrmi- 
to the apex, the rest of the wdng olive brown, only a light streak in the submedian fold at the base. The ring- 
macula is a black dot, the reniform macula a small circle. Exterior line dark brown, slightly dentate, from 
the apex to behind the middle of the inner margin. The marginal area behind it light in the middle. Hind¬ 
wing yellowdsh wdiite, darker at the apex. The $ is browner on the foreAving, the marking indistinct, especially 
the oblique band from the apex. Hindwing darker. 24 mm. Cape Colony. 
P. torrefacta Dist. is very similar to flavitermina. ForeAving with traces of strongly extra-angular in- torrefada.

costal margin. Hindwing light-broAvn, narrowdy darker at the margin, in the $ broAvn, unicoloured. — orien- orieniaH'i.
