anal margin and is on each side accompanied by a fine double serrate dark line; this line is distally again 
accompanied by a rather broad- dark serrate line; outside the band a narrow light fawn-coloured stripe extends, 
being uniformly bent. The distal margin is in its anterior half yellowish-brown and posteriorly ash-grey. Hind¬ 
wing yellowish rust-brown, distally darker, with traces of a light transverse line. Expanse of wings: 33 mm.“

P. trilineata Auriv. (33 f). A- Body dark red-brown. Head, collar, and patagia greyish-brown. Wings irilineaia. 
above red-brown; forewing behind the middle with 3 or 4 black, sharply dentate transverse lines running close 
at each other, and a thick submarginal line; between the latter and the most distal transverse line the ground¬ 
colour is reddish. Wings beneath dark brown with lighter veins and traces of a dark transverse line. Anal pencil 
very long. $ unknown. Uganda. 
P. auriflua Auriv. (33 f). The A is distinguished by the almost erect, parallel, but distinctly notched auriflua. 
or undulating black transverse lines on the forewing above. Head and thorax above grey ; metathorax brownish. 
Abdomen above golden yellow with a blackish anal pencil. Eorewing above from the base to or almost to the 
distal transverse line dark red-brown, then as far as the distal margin grey or brownish-grey with a coherent 
dark, often indistinct submarginal line, at the base of the anal margin with yellow hairs. Hindwing above 
quite yellow or at the distal margin more or less darkened. The whole underside of the body and the palpi 
dark brown. Expanse of wings: 47 to 60 mm. $ unknown. — The pupa rests in a thin and soft web. Eggs 
whitish with numerous unequally large dark brown spots. Sierra Leone; Congo District: Mukinbungu and 
Kingoyi; Transvaal (A. F. Cooke). 
P. bilinea Walk. (= ondulosa Conte) (34 a). unknown. A. Conte, without stating any reasons, has guinea. 
described the $, which I determined and figured as bilinea Walk., as a species ,,Taragama“ ondulosa (sic!) 
being different from bilinea, and besides supplied bad copies of my figures of the $ and of the larva, and at 
the same time figured another species as bilinea Walk., which does not correspond with Walker’s description. 
In my opinion the $ figured here by me according to a specimen from Adamawa is the true bilinea of Walker 
or a race of it at most. Two presumably typical specimens from Sierra Leone only differ in the forewing 
above being in the basal portion more speckled with grey and the dark transverse lines broadly bordered with 
whitish. The boundary between the yellowish basal colour ano. the brownish marginal band in the hindwing 
is more distinct. The abdomen is yellowish in the specimens from Sierra Leone and only at the apex brown. 
ondulata Conte. If the Adamawa-form is to be regarded as a special race, it must be denoted with this ondulaia. 
wrongly formed name. — The magnificent gigantic larva is described by its discoverer Arnold Schultze, 
as follows: ,,The larva is brownish-grey without any gloss and finely longitudinally marbled in dark; the stigmata 
are white. The dorsum is rather densely set with short sting-like hairs which are lustrous steel-blue on the 
three first joints and red-brown on the others. The stings are particularly densely arranged around the hair- 
pads on the segments 3 and 4, that can be turned out and are not visible, when the larva is at rest. These 
hair-pads are orange with a velvety red gloss. On the first and last joints as well as laterally below the 
stigmata the larva is densely long-haired like a fringe. These hair are brownish-grey, whereas the tuft of hair 
in the centre of each joint is of a beautiful violet colour.“ It lives on Bauhinia reticulata and Anona senegalensis.

P. honrathi Dew. was described and figured from a £. (34 a). Frons and upperside of thorax whitish- lionrathi. 
grey; metathorax densely clothed with red-brown hair. Thorax beneath brown; abdomen beneath ochreous. 
Forewing above greyish-brown, in the centre crossed by a broad dark brown band which is on both sides accom¬ 
panied by an undulating and dentate dark brown line. The band is in its whole length from the costal margin 
to the hind-margin accompanied by two parallel rows of blackish sagittiform spots, the proximal ones of which 
are turned distally and the distal ones proximad, and which are often connected on the veins by fine black 
lines. Outside of this dark band there is a lighter band, proximally dentate, distally irregularly angled and 
dentate. Hindwing reddish-brown, at the costal margin and base yellowish. Expanse of wings: 50 to 70 mm. 
— The $ is distinguished by the dark median band of the thoracal dorsum, the four curved broad whitish trans¬ 
verse bands of the forewing, and the yellowish abdomen. Cameroon to Congo.

yellowish, and at the costal margin powdered with dark. Uelleburg. 
P. wellmanni Weym. (34 a). ,,Head and anterior dorsum dark olive-brown, densely haired, the wellmanni. 
posterior part of the dorsum, the abdomen, the underside of the body, and the densely haired legs are brownish- 
grey. Ground-colour of forewing brownish-grey, the anterior half of the basal and median areas dark greyish- 
brown, thus much darker than in the §. The blackish-brown longitudinal spot at the base shows therefore less 
distinct contours, but it is indicated by the velvety scales. Behind it, behind the first third of the length of 
the wing, there is a short blackish-brown transverse streak and on the distal side of it a yellowish grey spot
