418 XO-SITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXV. 1918. 



Druee's " type o " is a 2. The o is unknown an 1 the supposed " species " 

 may possibly prove a remarkable mimetic ? form of some species of the cyma 

 group. 



(ab.) phaedima Prout, ab. nov.* (Peruvian Amazons). 



24. climax Prout, sp. nov.f (Amazons). 



Genus XXIV. Hadesina. 



Hadesina W'arr., Nov. Zool. vii. 129 (1900) (type limbaria VVarr.). 



Characters of DiopHs, but forewing with cell shorter (about one-thii-d), R' 

 from close to R', M' from close to end of cell, hindwing with cell short anteriorly, 

 DC biangulate, extremely oblique between the angles. 



1. anomala Prout, sp. nov.f (Amazons). 



2. caerulescens Schaus, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (S) xi. 382 (191.3) (Hyrmina) 

 (Costa Rica). 



= chloris Warr., Nov. Zool. xii. 313 (1905) (Dioptis) (nee Druce). 



3. limbaria Warr., Nov. Zool. vii. 127 (1900) (Kcuador). 



Genus XXV. Brachyglene. 



Brachyglene H.-Sch., Samml. Aussereur. Schmett. i. 19 (185C) (type bracteola Hb.-Gey.). 



Anaiolis Feld., Reise Novara. Lep. Hct. tab. 105. fig. 10, Erkl. p. i (indescr.) (type subtilis Feld.). 



Face with appressed scales. Palpus shortish, scarcely rough-scaled. An- 

 tenna in both sexes jjcctuiate. Pectus scarcely hairy. Femora glabrous. 

 Abdomen rather elongate. Wings elongate. 



Forewing with cell less than one-half (in caenea sometimes fully one-half ; 

 see also peba), DC long, DC^ bent behind origin of R-. very oblique posteriorly, 

 gQ2,5,3,4 stalked, R' from rather near R', I\I' stalked (in caenea closely 



* Dioptis cgla ali. phaedima, ab. nov. $, 4] mm. 



Forewing with outer band more reddish orange, much narrower (3 mm. in middle, tapering 



at both ends). Hindwing white, with the veins not blackened. " Bio Maranon, Peru, 1!)13." 



Type in coll. Joicey. 



t Dioplis climax sp. nov. $, 42 mm. Distinguished chiefly from egla Druce by the essen- 

 tially different cUstribution of the ochraceous coloration. 



On the jorewing this nms nearly to the base in front of the cell, reaches from C about to K' 

 beyond the cell (leaving a moderate apex and narrower border black, much as in egla) and forms 

 an additional chopper-shaped patch posteriorly, extending along a great part of SM= and the inter- 

 space as far as the fold, and throwing forward a broad projection to the base of iP and the stalk 

 of R' — M' ; double white proximal patch as in egla. a single elongat ■ white patch beliind JP, reach- 

 ing to the black distal border. Hindwing with the veins on the s?mitran.sparent white proximal 



area strongly blackened, the dark distal area broader than in egla. traversed by a much broader 

 (2-3 mm.) ochraceous band. Pebas, Amazons, December lOOB (M. de Mathan). Type in coll. 

 Tring Mus. 



I Hadesina anomala sp. nov. 5.43 mm. Face mixed white bikI dark. Palpus with fir.st joint 

 white, second light orange, third fuscous. Thorax and abdomen mostly dark fuscous, wing-tegula 

 orange, abdomen beneath mixed with whitish. 



Forewing rather broad, cell not quite as short as in the type (though less than two-fifths) ; 

 white with most of the veins and the posterior margin and broad drstal margin dull black ; DC 

 and a streak behind the stalk of R' — Ri more broadly black ; an oblique black band of 2 — 3 ram. 

 width from costa beyond middle, meeting the distal border at R^ and IP ; distal border broaden- 

 ing a little at apex, leaving free a white subapical band of less than 3 mm. breadth, the veins in 



this band not blackened. Hindwing with DC very oblique, but not formed quite as in the type ; 



whitish, with black veins and broad, ill-defined borders, the apical containing a white patch from 

 before SC to near R^. .Amazons (Bates). A damaged specimen in coll. Tring Mus. (ex coll. Feld).
