MYGONA; PROBOSCIS. By G. Weymer. 2G9 



a chestnut-red spot between the median veins of tlie forewing, by which the species may be recognized. Of the 

 3 silvery transverse stripes on the underside of tlie hindwing the proximal one is quite straight. Bolivia (Yungas 

 de la Paz). Rare, only one (^ in Thieme's collection. 



C. mena Gr.-Sin. (58 a). Above iniicolorous brown, with bronzy gloss. Beneath the silver markings mrnti. 

 at the a])ex of the forewing and the silver l)ands on the hinilwing are nuuh darkened by brown dusting. There 

 is mostly here on the forewing a small orange spot between the :2nd and 3rd median veins, which was wanting 

 in the example figured. Bolivia (Yungas de la Paz, San Jacinto. San Antonio. Oillutincara). 



C. clethra Tliinne. Similar to the preceding, but smaller. Al»ove glossy l)r(inze-brown. Forewing cliilim. 

 beneath witlunit gloss, dark brown, only the apex somewhat silvery. A small chestnut-red spot lietween 

 the 2n(l and 3rd median veins. Hindwing beneath likewise dark l)rown, only the anterior half somewhat 

 silvery. There is no trace of transverse bands, on the other liand all the veins are black and each cellule l)i- 

 seeted longitudinally by a black line, forming a pattern similar to that of the Adinote species. At the 

 base are placed some small red sjiots. From Peru (Villanota and Ohanchamayo). 2 examples in coll. Staxj- 

 DiNGER (Berlin Museum). 



C. schreineri Foetterh (= lennir Thienie) (58 a). Above pale yellowish brown witli 2 rows of light xclirrtiicri. 

 ochre-yellow spots and dark grey-brown l)ase. The hindwing is margined with reddish in the anal ])art. The 

 under surface is similarly marked to the upper, except that the spots on the hindwing have a dull sil- 

 very gloss and in the basal half of this wing is placed a silver band partly broken up into spots. The ground- 

 colour of the hindwing beneath is yellowish brown, finely striated with dark brown. Petrojiolis (South Brazil).

The costal margin of the forewing is long, its anterior ])art produced distad. and the distal margin con- 

 sequently excised l)elow the upper radial. The hindwing is strongly dentate, the tooth on the 2nd median vein 

 broader and stronger than the rest, but not produced into a tail. The costa of the hindwing is not eniar- 

 ginate, but smooth and rounded. In the scheme of markings of the under surface the species are all very simi- 

 lar. On the hindwing a white s])ectacle-sha]>ed s])ot and 3 white dots forming a triangle are nearly always pre- 

 sent and on the forewing mostly' three chestnut-red or light brown dots. The species have been described 

 as Pronophiln or Oxeoschistus. 



M. prochyta Heiv. (= O.xeoschistus erebus Gr.-Sin.) (57 e). Ai)ove miiculorons dark brown, only the liase iimcJii/ln. 

 and apical part of the forewing somewhat lighter. The $ has an indistinct, somewhat lighter In-own costal 

 spot anil sometimes 2 reddish grey spots ])etween the median veins of the forewing. Bolivia (Yungas de la 

 Paz). — chyprota Or.-Sin. (57 e) may probably be regarded as the Peruvian form of prochyUi. It is somewhat <li!/iirni,i. 

 smaller, on the inider surface quite similarly marked, only more red-brown. On the up]ier surface the basal 

 part of the wings is entirely red-brown, the distal part spotted with red-brown. From Peru- (Ouzco, Cal- 

 langa, Vilcanota).

M. thammi Sfgr. (57 e upper and inider surface). Similar to the preceding s])ecies. but the hindwing /^kdi. 

 almost entirely chestnut-red above, with 3 black spots before the margin. The under surface very varie- 

 gated. Pern (Ohanchamayo, Cushi. Hunancabamba). 



M. poeania Heir. Forewing above unicolorous l)rown. hindwing brown, the anal ])art occu]iied by iKiirmid. 

 a red-brown area, which reaches to the middle of the wing and is traversed by a, brown submarginal line. The 

 under surface is quite similar to the preceding species. From Ecuador. Rare. 



M. irtnina Dbl. (58 a). May be known by the large white spot of the hindwing on the upper surface, }niii,ia. 

 which is otherwise dark brown. The under surface is very similar to that of prochytd, except that the apex 

 of both wings is marbled with lighter grey-browni. In the $ the distal margin on the ujjperside of the hindwing 

 is narrowly brown-red, a brown-red spot is placed before the apex and 2 indistinct spots between the median 

 veins of the forewing. Venezuela (Merida), Colombia (Bogota, Rio Vitaco). 



50. Genus: l*i*4>l»oscis TIi 



icme. 



This genus is distinguished by having the apex of the forewing falcate and strongly recurved posteriori}'. 

 The costa of the hindwing is concave. The distal margin of this wing is dentate and forms a short tail on 

 the 2nd me(lian vein. Only one (lolombian .species, which Hewitsox made known as a Pronophiln.. 



P. propylea Heiv. (58 b). Forewing beneath brown, with red-brown base and apex and 3 brownish propi/lm. 

 yellow spots before the distal margin. Hindwing beneath yellowish brown with brown median band and 

 brown margin, in which is placed a row of whitish yellow spots and dots. Colombia. The species is very rare and 

 was luiknown to Thieme in nature. F.\.S.sl took a specimen in the neigh])ourhood of Muzo at 2nOO ni.
