P. tamara sp. n. (74 d). Similar to the preceding species, the green median band narrower, more tamara. 
excurved at vein 6, the brown basal area more irregnlar, more sharply projecting at the posterior cell-angle. 
Hindwing ochreous. L. Nvassa. 9 types from Langenburg in the Berlin State Museum, also from Kilondo. 
P. carnapi Karsch (= princeps Auriv., microbasis Hmps.) (74 e). A large species. Forewing green, carnapi. 
with a very short, narrow brown basal streak and a broad brown marginal area projecting at the cell towards 
the base. Hindwing ochreous, at the margin darkened brownish. Cameroon, Ogove. 
P. niesochloris Hmps. Almost exactly like trapezoidea, but the green band is said not to reach quite mesochlori 
to the costal margin. Expanse: 23 mm. Gold Coast. 
P. euchlora Karsch (74 e). Forewing green, with a narrow violettish-brown basal and marginal area, euchlom. 
the latter more or less dusted with whitish, inside bordered by a white line. On the anterior and posterior 
margins of the cell as well as on 1 b a white longitudinal streak each, which may also extend to the marginal 
veins. Hindwing cream-coloured with violettish brown fringes. $ much larger than <$. Togo. Ivory Coast. 
Larva greenish sky-blue with black spots; it lives gregariously on Vitex, feeding at night. 
P. singularis Btlr. (74 e). Forewing dark green, with a violettish-brown basal area which is widened singularis 
at the inner margin, a long silvery streak on the posterior edge of the cell and a shorter one on 1 b. Distal margin 
very narrow violettish-brown. Hindwing ochreous, fringes brown. Madagascar. 
P. reginula Saalm. (74 e). Similar to singularis, basal area broader, more straightly defined, marginal regimda. 
area thrice as broad. Ground-colour lighter green, but with a dark green spot above and below the thicker 
white median streak. Fringe of hindwing yellow. Madagascar. 
P. valida Btlr. (74 d). Forewing green, with a broad violettish-brown basal area, incurved below the valida. 
cell, somewhat excurved at lb; marginal area narrower violettish-brown, between veins 2 and 5 projecting 
slightly curved towards the base. Hindwing ochreous, at the margin often darker brownish. Madagascar. 
P. ebetiaui Saalm. (74 e) is very similar to valicla , the basal area much more sinuate, the marginal area ebcnaui. 
twice as broad, between 2 and 5 strongly curved towards the base. Madagascar. 
P. karschi Dyar (= valida Karsch) (74 d) is a large species, yellowish dark green, with a violettish- karschi. 
brown, somewhat dentate, vertically cut-off basal area and a similar distal margin which is very narrow and 
shows two projections towards the base. Hindwing ochreous, fringe more or less brownish. Cameroon to Gabun. 
P. urda Drc. (74 f). Similar to karschi , smaller, ground-colour of forewing more blue-green. Distal nr da. 
margin of fore wing slightly broader brown, hindwing creamy, basally yellowish. Cameroon to Gabun. 
P. lanceolata sp. n. (74 e). Forewing intensely bluish-green, more elongate than in the two preceding lanceolata 
species. Hindwing cream-coloured, at the anal margin and base yellowish. <$ type from Tabora, and 9 from 
various places in German East Africa. (Berlin State Museum.) 
P. vivida Wkr. (74 e) (= neumanni Karsch , arcuata Karsch). Forewing dark green, at the cell-end often vivid,a. 
a dark dot and a darker shadow often above the centre of the inner margin. Basal area violettish-brown, with 
a pointed tooth below the cell. Marginal area lighter brown, with dark veins and bordered by dark. Hindwing 
from yellowish white to blackish brown. From South Africa. East Africa to the Sudan. The most common 
species. 
P. anattii Karsch (74 f). A small species, forewing green, with an obliquely defined basal area projecting ananii. 
with two teeth, and a broad brown marginal area which projects somewhat obtusely between veins 2 and 5 
and is concave above it. Hindwing ochreous. Togo, Cameroon. Southern Sudan. — infuscata Wichgr. is a form infuscata. 
with brown hindwings. 
P. prussi Karsch (74 f) (= adamauana Auriv., smaragdina Beth.- B., preussi v. d. E.) is larger, forewing prussi. 
more blue-green, basal area narrower, at the costal margin not widened, marginal area with 3 projections which 
arc often dentate. Range of the preceding species. 
P. catori Beth.-B. (74 f). Extremely similar to prussi and flying together with it. The median emar- catori. 
gination of the marginal area is flatter, the projection below it broader and more dentate. Lokoya. Southern 
Sudan. It may be synonymous with the preceding species. 
P. cambouei Mob. (= villosipes Strd.) (74 f). Forewing in the basal area brown, outside transversely cambouei. 
cut off and partly bordered with white, at the inner margin twice as long as at the costal margin, in the median 
area an almost triangular green area not reaching the costal and inner margins and traversed by a brown 
longitudinal stripe each at the edges of the cell, sometimes being very much reduced. Hindwing pale yellow, 
with a dark brown marginal area. Expanse: 30 mm. Madagascar. 
P. humilis Mob. Forewing light red; base blackish claret-coloured, in the expanded beyond the cell humilis. 
and somewhat radiating on the veins. A brown transverse line passes through this area over the cell. The much
