 Fischer, 1963, p. 130. 



Figures 74 and 75 of the male genitalia were made from the holotype. 

 Although considerably rubbed, the type appears to have had a trans- 

 verse white band from the stigma and another pale patch nearer the 

 wing base.

p. 133. [New synonymy.] 



The holotype of maculata was compared to a syntype of albo- 

 signata at the MCZ and found to be essentially identical. Figures 76 

 and 77 were prepared from a specimen carefully compared with the 

 syntype. All examples are from Brazil.

 Smicridea unicolor (Banks), 1901.] 



Lectotype, male: "La Visite & vie. La Selle Range 5-7000 ft. 

 Sept. 16-23," "Haiti 1934 M. Bates," "M.C.Z. Paratype 22110," 

 "S. unicolor." 



The male labelled "paratype" is selected as lectotype because its 

 genitalia are undamaged. Figures 61-63 were prepared from this 

 specimen. This species has a very faint transverse pale band from 

 the stigma. 



Smicridea bivittata (Hagen)

The female lectotype, selected by Ross, was compared carefully 

 with a female from a series containing males. This species is one of 

 several with two narrow, white, transverse bands on the forewing. 

 The species was described from Panama.
