It is found in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and western Uganda.

In describing their species Godman and Salvin expressly say that the example was designated by Dr. Staudinger pseudeuryta spec, nov..

Consequently, in my work Rhopalocera Aethiopica I regarded P. excisa and pseudeuryta as the same species.

And the males are really very similar above, as a glance at the figures (58 c) shows, but they are very easily distinguished by the basal half of the hindwing in pseudeuryta being dark brown beneath, distally bounded by a whitish median band, whilst in excisa the entire under surface has the ground-colour almost the same uniform light brown-yellow and lacks the median band.

- male fore wing black-brown above with orange-yellow transverse band of almost uniform breadth, which reaches the hindmargin but scarcely the distal margin and on the proximal side is encroached upon in cellules 1 b and 3 by the dark ground-colour; the spots in cellules 1 b- 3 are triangularly incised distally.

The under surface of the forewing only differs from the upper in the lighter and duller transverse band.
