214 HETEROCERA. 
The only known species which can be included in this genus are: 
1. strigicinctana Wkv. (1863: Atteria) Cat. Lp. BM. 28 422 (Bogota). 
2. drucet W1sm., sp. un. (Chiriqut). 
8. docima Druce (1912: Atteria) Ent. Mo. Mag. 48 133 Pf. 10° 8 (Peru). 
4, transversana Wkr. (1863 : Gauris ?) Cat. Lp. BM. 28 421 (Venezuela). 
The Type of Atteria strigicinctana Wkr. is wrongly recorded asa d, itisa ? with 
divided frenulum; the Types of docima Druce and transversana Wkr. are both ¢ ¢ 
with strongly bipectinate antennae; such antennae will probably be characteristic of 
the genus, which is easily recognised by the shape of the forewings as well as by 
the neuration. 
Most of the species described as belonging to the genus Atferia must be referred to 
PSEUDATTERIA, gen. n. [FW: 12 veins; 7-8 separate, 7 to costa. HW: 8 veins; — 
3-4 connate, 5 straight, not approximate to 4; 6-7 closely approximate toward base. 
Type: Pseudatteria potamites, sp. n. (FW: reddish orange, costa with alternate stripes 
of purplish fuscous and white, to the number of nine of each, all parallel; the first two 
white streaks joined in the form of letter U; at apex a V-shaped fuscous mark, 
followed by alternations of white and fuscous to tornus. xp. al. 26-33 mm. HW: 
reddish orange, with a group of three purplish fuscous spots around apex, and a series 
of about five spots below). Type 3 2 (4601-2) Jalapa, etc. Mus. Wlsm. BM. ] 
Another series of species must be referred to IDOLATTERIA, gen. n. [FW: 12 veins ; 
7-8 separate, 7 to termen. HW: 8 veins; 3-4 separate, 5 closely approximate to 4; 
6-7 closely approximate toward base. Type: Idolatteria simulatrix, sp. n. (FW: 
reddish orange, with dark reddish purple costal streaks, including a spot at the apex, 
alternating with white spaces, a few white scales at the base; about six smaller 
purplish spots occur along the termen. Lup. al. 25 mm. HW: reddish orange, 
with eight purplish marginal spots, and a shorter submarginal series.) Type 2 
(66270) San Gerénimo, Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM.] 
Meyrick [Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1909 14-15 (1909): 1910 433 (1910): Pr. Linn. 
Soc. NSW. 35 161, 221-2 no. 28 sp. 154 (1910)} united Atteria Wkr. and Cerace 
Wkr., sinking the Jatter as a svnonym, but he has since proposed the new genus 
Megatodoris Meyr. [Exot. Microlep. 1 5-6 (1912)] for the Eastern species which he 
had described as Atteria. 
1. Atteria drucei, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 4.) 
Antennae purplish black. Palpi 2 short, suberect, projecting scarcely the length of the head beyond it; 
black. Head pale yellow on the crown. Thorax orange, shaded with purple in front, and with one 
median and two posterior purple spots; tegulae orange, with a purple median spot. 
the costa arched, but somewhat flattened beyond the middle, apex obtuse, but approximat 
the termen slightly sinuate below it, but distinctly convex ; deep orange, with a series of about thirteen 
costal, one apical, and six terminal pale yellow stripes alternating with dark purple, some, especially 
about the apex and below it, tending to coalesce before reaching the orange ground-colour; the deep 
purple intermediate stripes blending to reddish purple as they come within the influence of the orange
