IGO PSBUDOSCADA. By B. Haensch. 



forewing and 3 whitish dots before the distal margin. The vitreous areas of lioth wings are shghtly 

 shaded with brownisli. 

 oncidia. H. oncidia Bates, from the Upper Amazon, has similar markings to ornlina: it is somewhat smaller 



and has whitish dusting in the end of the cell and before the distal margin of the forewing. and also in 

 (enera. the disc of tlie hindwing. — A very nearly allied form is tenera Srnka^ from Pebas, which has ?> white 

 dots between the median veins of the forewing, whilst only 2 of these are said to be present in oncidia. — 

 quadrona. In a further form from Yurinuiguas, on the Upper Amazon, which I call quadrona form. imr.. llip yellow- 

 red band is only very narrow and between it and the broad band at the end of the cell of the forewing 

 there is another whitish patch. 

 riimn. H. cymo Him. (= galita Hew.) (41 a) has a dark half-band across the end of the cell of the fore- 



wing and adjoining it a white patch. The distal margin of the hindwing is red-brown, witli dark edges. 

 On the under surface the distal margins together with the costal margin of the hindwing are light red- 

 indrcora. brown with dark edges. — In the form indecora Hsch. (= sylphis Kaye), from British (luiana, the red- 

 brown colour at the distal margin of the hindwing is absent. At the distal margin of the forewing there 

 are white dots, and the margins of the under surface are yellow-brown. 

 (jarleppi. H. garleppi H.'^cli. is similar to the preceding, with narrower white patch at the end of the cell and 



without the wliitish dots at the apex of the forewing. 

 lamina. H. famina H.'sch. (41 a), from Peru, has the wings more strongly dusted with white and an angular 



smoke-brown spot in the cell of the forewing. On the undei- surface the dark margins are variegated with 

 oriana. yellow-brown. — In oriana Heu\, from the Upper Amazon, the costal and distal margins of the hindwing 

 are much broader and leave in the disc only a vitreous longitudinal band, just as in Lencoflijiris onega. 

 rinjinin. H. Virginia Hew. (40 g), from the Amazons, has smoke-l)rown wings with In'oad <lai-k margins and 



broad apex to the forewing. Across the cell of the latter is placed a wedge-shaped obhi|U(' ban<l and 

 towards the apex a broad, segment-shaped, white i)and. 

 xenophis. As H. xenophis spec. nor. I designate an isolated species from the P»io Ucayali. with elongate, 



yellow-dusted wings, which recalls Episcacia caniUa (39 c). The forewing has before and Ijehind the end of 

 the cell a dark pointed half-l)and, as well as dark margins. The greater part of the hindwing is dusted 

 with yellow; it has likewise dark margins. On tlie under surface all the margins are i-ed-l)rown. dark- 

 edged, without white marginal dots. 

 coenina. H. COenina Hew. (40 g) differs considerably from most of the other forms by the pointed apex of 



the forewing and the absence of marking at the end of the cell. The wings are dusted with grey and have 

 ndornata. fairly uniform hlack margins. The latter are black also beneath. — In ab. adornata H.sc//. the mar- 

 gins are bright rcil-brown on the underside, especially at the base and the anal angle of the hindwing. 

 veronica. H. veronica ]Veyvi.. from Colombia, is larger than coenina; the distal margins are proximally den- 



tate. Across the end of the cell of the forewing there is a Idack triangle and at the anal angle of the 

 hindwing a rust-coloured oblong spot. The species resembles Fteronymia ihahena and tucuna. 

 areas. H. oreas Weym. (41 a), from southern Brazil, has broad, glossy bluish white wings with dark mar- 



gins and on the forewing whitish dots at the distal margin. The half-band at the end of the cell is broad. 

 proxima. especially in the $. — - A nearly allied form is proxima Weym., likewise from South Brazil. Here the 

 wings are colourless, the margins above grey-brown and beneath yellow-brown. In oreas the margins' are 

 red- brown beneath. 

 mirza. H. mirza Hew. (= lavinia Hew. p.. ryphaeno Oberth.) (41 a), from western Ecuador, has a narrower 



lialf-band in the forewing and whitish dots at the end of the cell and the distal margin, of which those 

 ilJarthi. before the apex are proximally bounded by a weak oblique band. — riffarthi H.'<ch.. from Ecuador, has 



n 



similar, but stronger markings. But here the forewing is further distinguished by a white half-band 



be- 



tween discocellular and apex. 



cas.<solLs. ji^ cassotis Bates, frona (luatcmala, and rhene fhnhn. d'- .S'rt?r. (41 a), from Panama, are verv similar 



rliene. . . " . 



to each other. In cassotis the' half-band at the end of the cell of the forewing is .proximally forked, in 



rheiie pointed. Moreover, the cell of the hindwing is said to be much longer in rhene. the lower radial on 



cajona. t\w contrary very short. — - cajona Hsch.. from south-eastei'ii Peru, is another similar f<iiin with broadrr 



Idack apex to the forewing and without reddish subcostal. 



32. Genus: Pi^cudoisicada (hdm. d'- Suh\ 



This genus differs from Hypoleria in the absence of the oblong scent-spot in the ^J. Costal and 

 subcostal are almost entirely coincident. The separation of the two genera, however, cannot l)e rigidly car- 

 ried out, as in some species an oldong raised patch combined with an indistinct costal indicate the tran- 

 sition. On the other hand Pseiidoscada shows also relationship to Hymenitis, so that it is doubtful to 

 which genus some species Ijelong.
