7*5. Automolis docis Hiibuer (PI. VII. ligs. 3i)-41). 



I have 13 (?c? anil ? ? of this si)ecies from between Itaitulia and Obitlos, 

 January — April lOUU (W. Hoffinaas) ; Obidos, Araazonas, October — November 

 1904 (M. de Mathau) ; Fonte Boa, Amazonas, rjOG— 1007 (S. M. Khiges) ; ami 

 San Antonio do Javary, Amazonas, May l'.i07 (S. M. Klages). Those si)eeimens 

 show a very great variation ignite irrespective of locality. The one extreme 

 is deep grey, with the patagia edged with dull red, and the basal two 

 segments of the abdomen cinnabar red, the red line on forewing hardly defined, 

 and hindwing iiiiiform grey with orange scent spot; the other extreme has the 

 tegnlae, jiatagia iiiid thorax orange scarlet, eilged witii dull black, first two seg- 

 ments of abdomen orange scarlet, forewing orange scarlet edged with black, and 

 hindwing orange rose, broadly bordered with black. 



77. Automolis niveomaciilata spec nov. (I'l. VI. fig. 21). 



(J. (Similar to ^1. alhiphiga (I'l. VI. fig. 2n), but much larger. Total 

 expanse : albiplaqa, 35 mm. ; niveomacidalu, 45 mm. 



Differs from albiplaf/a in having the palpi black instead of white ; the 

 patagia sooty grey, with a central white stripe iusteail of an indistinct greyish 

 white line, and the terminal third wliite as in (iU///i//i(/a ; abdomen has only 

 two yellow lateral patches, one on each side of the segments S and 0, not five 



as in albijilnqa, on each side of segments 5 to 9. Forewing : basal two-thirds 



have the veins distinctly and broadly jinre wliite, not faintly indicated in paler 

 grey as in albijiUuia ; jwstmedian ovate white patch jiurer white an<l much 



larger, occuj>ying fully one-fourth of the wing area. Hindwing: the disc is 



much more extended white, which colour also is more sharply defined from the 

 ground-colour of the wing; apex of wing much more produced, which gives it a 

 much more triangular shajie than in albiphdja. 



Length of forewing : 20 mm.
