( 81 ) 



the edges, which are coatiuueil as striae towards 7 ; friugo green, black below 

 vein 4. 



Ilindwing : similar, but the band is represented only by its inner edge, and 

 a black blotch with some scattered striae at apex, along which the fringe is 

 also black. 



Underside the same ; but the subbasal striae coalescent into a blotch. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen pale green, the last with a black belt at base ; 

 antennal shaft white, the pectinations black. 



Expanse of wings : 37 mm. 



1 c? from Belmont, Port of Spain, Trinidad (E. Lafond). 



Closely related to M. Tagilinea Warr. from French Guiana, from which it is 

 separated by the absence of any red markings. 



34. Miantonota consimilis spec uov. 



This species is very close to M. dentilima Warr. {RackcospilK,), but differs as 

 follows : 



The marginal line of both wings is much finer, less distinctly red ; the 

 fringes are not chequered beyond the veins, Imt have their basal half shining white 

 and their apical half grey ; the forewing is proportionately broader, with the apex 

 more prominent, and the hindwing is elbowed at middle, not rounded ; the abdomen 

 is ochreous, possibly greener when fresh ; and instead of the white spots on 

 segments 2 and 4 (not 1 and 3 as in the original description) bears a quadrate 

 brown sjiot only on segment 2. Moreover, the teeth of the outer line of the wings 

 are externally less prominently white, and internally are marked with brown instead 

 of green. 



2 c?c? from La Oroya, R. Inambari, Carabaya, Peru, 3100 ft., September 1904, 

 dry season (Ockenden). 



35. Miantonota erina Uogo. ah. disjuncta nov. 



In his description oi Achlora erina, M. Dognin {Ann. S.E. Belg. 1890, p. 143) 

 speaks of one specimen which bore traces of a Innulate darker festoon connecting 

 the series of dark points which form the outer line ; these connecting lunules are 

 distinct in all three sjiecimens of the ab. (li.yiiiicta ; but while in erina the points on 

 veins 6, 7, and 8 are conjoined and individually lost in a black zigzag blotch ending 

 in the apex, in the aberration there is no blotch, but the three points on these veins 

 are distinct and black in a straight line, the uppermost on vein 8 lying well before 

 the apex, and tiiese three black points are not tipped externally with white, as is 

 the case with all those on the lower veins. In the dorsal markings of the abdomen, 

 moreover, the ab. disjuncta differs from typical erina, and agrees more nearly with 

 the ab. bipunctata Dogn. {Ann. S.E. Belg. 1908, p. 17), the S having a small 

 blackish spot on segment 2 and a larger quadrate one on segment 5, while the ?, 

 besides the blotch on 5, has the whole of the first and second segments black-brown. 

 The points forming the inner line and the discai spots are all distinct ; but the 

 costal edge of forewing is not white. 



1 cJ, 1 ? from Tncnman, 1100 m., January — February 1005 (Steinbach), type ; 

 1 c? from Sapucay, Paragnay, November 10()3 (Foster). This last specimen shows 

 a black spot at apex of forewing, beyond the other three black points. 



Both erina Dogn. and discipuncta Warr. should be placed in Miantonota.
