Forewing nearly as in M. daviilsoni Swinh. (18U0), the proximal creamy spot 

 narrower, and the discal baud a little longer and more even in width, and less 



constricted. Hindwing with large triangalar orange patch from abdominal 



margin to cell, tapering in front and curving round the lower angle of cell to join 

 the creamy central spot. 



The creamy markings beneath somewhat larger than above, the hindwing 

 bearing a short creamy streak near the base between the costal and sabcostal veins.

Euthhaiiotia liji-aon Druce, Ann. Mwj. N.II. (ti) xx. p. 300 (1897) (Sarayayu, Ecuador). 



Mr. S. M. Klages obtained three (Sd at Fouteboa, Upper Amazons, in August 

 and September ] 906. 



8. Tuerta platensis bolivar subsp. nov. 



c? ? . Cell-spot of forewing elongate, longer than in T. p. platensis, and situated 

 close to the discocellular sjiot. Abdomen with indication of a black discal line only 

 at the base. 



Hub. Ciudad Bolivar, Orinoco, June 1898 (S. M. Klages). 



One pair; type : ?. 



9. Euschirropterus klagesi spec. nov. 



?. Similar to E. discifera Hamps. (1901). Forewing narrower, with an ovate 

 brown sjiot in the cell, both above and beneath ; the brown distal border of both 

 wings narrower. The pale yellow streak on the underside of the forewing extending 

 far beyond the discocellular spot on to the disc. 



Ilab. Orinoco, Ecuador and Tucuman. 



Two or three subspecies : 



a. E. klagesi Idagesi (PI. XI. fig. 9 ?). 



?. Upperside of head white; the white streak of the forewing extending to 

 costal edge near base ; the ^-ellow area of the hindwing very pale, on the underside 

 extended to costal vein along the distal marginal band. 



Hab. Ciudad Bolivar, Orinoco, July 1898 (S. M. Klages). 



3 ? ?. 



b. K. klagesi tucumanus subsp. nov. 



? . Head and thorax less white than in the preceding form ; the forewing 

 broader, the distal margin being less oblique, the white streak basally less widened 

 costad, or here shaded with fuscous ; the distal marginal band of the liindwing 

 somewluit broader; the yellow area deeper in tint, and on the underside not, or 

 very little, extended forward beyond the subcostal vein. 



In the larger proportion of the specimens the forewing is entirely shaded with 

 brown, the white streak being vestigial :
