1 have not desciibed this species in full; as it is so like 
P. Banksianus that I thought it would be enough to indicate its 
characteristic peculiarities. In the 3 the genitalia are dark 
brown, not pale testaceous as in P. Banksianus (in this respect 
agreeing with P. aretos Er.); the sagittae are produced laterally 
into a inembranous wing, wholly wanting in P. Banksianus and 
the apex of each is not rounded as in that species. The £ is 
distinct not only by the bright colour of the anal fringe, but 
also by the nearly simple apical segment, which in P. Banksianus 
has its centre triangularly raised. 
I have had very great doubts as to the distinetness ofthis 
3 from P. aretos , but Erichson mentions but ater and aretos 
and distinguishes aretos from ater by the darker colour of its 
genitalia and its black anal Iringe. Now, in my specimen the 
anal fringe is il anything lighter than in ater and 1 therefore 
thought that I schould not be justified in adopting his name. 
I have no actual prool that the £ described belongs to this 3 > 
but they were taken in the same locality and on the same day.*‘ 
Portugal. 
Ich muss proximus , nach Einsicht der typischen Exemplare, 
die ich der Freundlichkeit des Autors verdanke, vorläufig für 
eine Varietät des banksianus halten.
