The male was described from Madagascar: we must therefore conclude either that three wide-ranging allied species exist, or that they represent one widely distributed and very variable species; the latter seems to me the more probable solution of the difficulty. In this case the present species would stand as P. aglatonice, Godt. (specimens of which we have received previously from Central Africa), and as var. definita § ; P. nebulosa would also have to be ranked as an extreme form of the same species. 49.
