subviridis. 
smithi. 
excentrica. 
croceina. 
Hindwing only with postcellular hyaline spots. Veins in the fore wing: vein 3 near the angle, 4 and 5 from the 
lower angle. Vein 6 on a short stalk with 7 + 8, # veins 9 -f- 10 stalked. 11 free. In the hindwing vein 7 far 
before the cell-end. strongly anastomosing with 8. Type: subviridis Wrr. 
P. subviridis Wrr. Body and forewing fawn-coloured with brown spots, costal margin paler with 
few large brown spots. A hyaline spot in the lower cell-end, and before it a brown spot. Moreover one above 
the base of vein 2 and below it, a still smaller one above the base of vein 3. Fringes dark brown. Hindwing 
with a dark cross-vein, at its lower end a dark spot, behind it above and below vein 4 one small hyaline spot 
each. Marginal area darker. Beneath ochreous brown with an oblique, faded, dark-brown submarginal line, 
at vein 6 on the forewing angular and continued through the anterior half of the hindwing. Hyaline spots with 
a greenish reflection. 30 mm. Niger. 
P. smithi Wrr. Patagia pinkish-brown, rest of body anti forewing fawn-coloured, at the apex with 
white scales, otherwise strewn with dark. Behind the hyaline spot at the lower cell-end, there follow 3 behind 
the cell above the base of veins 3—5. The spot below the cell is larger than in subviridis. Oblique to the 
costal margin above the hyaline spots an oblong reddish-brown patch, with a slight green iridescence. Hindwing 
fawn-coloured with fine black dots at the ends of the cross-vein. Beneath paler pearl-coloured. 50 mm. Congo. 
P. excentrica Strand (41 f). In this species veins 7 and 8 are coalescent, 7 touches 9 in one place. Thus, 
in spite of the apparent slight difference of the neuration, the species is nevertheless better placed here than 
to Spidia. Body and wings light brownish-grey, powdered with red-brown. On the forewing a dark brown 
line from the apex to the centre of the inner margin, slightly excurved. On the centre of the costal margin and 
above the cell-angle dark spots. A hyaline spot in the lower cell-end, and a larger one below it, also in the 
submedian fold a small one. One very small spot each above and below the base of vein 4. The apical line 
touches the spots. On the hindwing it is continued like a band and almost reaches the costal margin. The 
lower angle of the cross-vein with a black dot which is situate within almost at the upper edge of a small round 
hyaline spot which reaches to vein 3. Beneath as subviridis , but the line on the hindwing extends to vein 
2. 30 mm. Cameroon. 
13. Genus: UTidara Mab. 
Antennae with one row of pectinations. Forewing entire-margined oval, not with a tapering apex as 
usual in the other Drepanidae. Veins not described. In the hindwing veins 4 and 5 from the same place, vein 8 
strongly anastomosing with 7. 
N. croceina Mab. Body and wings quite yellow, only the antennal pinnae brown. ? mm. Madagascar. 
According to this brief description it is hardly recognisable, but probably a Drepanida.
