a well defined genus. Drepamda resembles Bueoti'i particularly by the shape of the wings, the structure of the 

 body and the habits, though there is no close connection between the two genera. 



D. calvus iitrjr. (133e) from Peru has a very falciform apex of the forewing and a unicoloroi;sly slate- mh-iis. 

 grey upper surface; the distal margin, a median blurred spot at the costa and a costal triangle before the 

 apex darker; in front of the border a series of white dots. Under surface marked very white, in the median 

 area shaded in grey. Peru. 



D. gerres TInn. (133f) entirely resembles the preceding, above the dark clouds are more defined, the <irrrcx. 

 hindwings somewhat brighter. Quite different is the under surface, being unicolorously bluish-white with 

 numerous small black dots. Colombia, before me from Muzo and Cananche. 



D. lencates Heir, is smaller and the forewings are above quite sooty black except a small light longi- Inirnlrs. 

 tudinal spot at (lie middle of the inner margin; the hindwings are in the middle entirely white only the base 

 and the distal-marginal third are black. Unknown to me: may not belong into this genus; described without 

 the patria being mentioned. 



77. Genus: l>iiio|>loti»» >siich. 



The genus is established for a small species unknown to me, having about the sliape of the jireceding 

 genus, ,,but somewhat more circular hindwings". One species from Stat'dincjers collection described froin 

 the Amazonas. In the veins of the forewings there is a conspicuous anastomosis between the costal and 

 the second subcostal vein, in which may be seen the stunted remainders of the first subcostal vein. 



D. orphana Stich. Size of D. gerres; upper surface cpiite unicolorously drab, only in the apical part nrphana. 

 of the forewing deeper blackish. Beneath the forewings exhibit small white spots at the border below the 

 falciform apex and at the cell-end; the hindwings are beneath yellowish-grey, with a light median l)and 

 shaded in black. From Massauary. 



78. Genus: Pariios Ww. 



The two small brownish-grey species belonging hereto are very much alike each other; they are above 

 blackish-brown, beneath in the apex of each wing is a black eye-spot provided with 2 white pupils. The 

 costal of the forewing runs for some distance together with the first subcostal vein. The animals are not 

 common; nothing is known to me about their habits. 



P. nycteis Il'^r. (138f). This is the smaller species; fresh specimens have an entirely unicolorously yiydfis. 

 black upper surface; only in much flown specimens the colouring of the under surface shows faintly through, 

 as in our figure. This colouring is dark brownish-grey, finely striated in yellow, before the apex in the fore- 

 wing and hindwing small, white-pupilled eye-spots. Panama to the Amazon. 



P. philotes ir«'. (138f). Larger, above sooty black, beneath dai'k grey, with 1 large eye-spot with 2 rhilotcK. 

 white pupils near the apex of all the i wings; some more small dotted eye-spots at the distal margin of 

 the hindwing. Guiana, Amazon. 



711. Gciuis: Zabiiella Stick. 



This geiuis is based upon a rather unicolorously grey aninml which was described as Lernouids. but 

 has evident connections with Emntnrgina. The most conspicuous mark in the animal is a very thick knob 

 of the antenna, which is hollow in the shape of a spoon, like in an Arciynnis. Otherwise the shape is like 

 that of the following genus, and both these genera belong to the southern part of the neotropical region. . 



Z. tenella Burm. (138 k). Dirty greyish-brown with a series of dull dcitted eye-spots in front of the inidln. 

 border and an irregularly curved median shade across both wings. Under surface dirty grey with black- 

 pupilled, small eye-spots near the base and the border, and a chain of dark spots across the centre. Argentina, 

 local, Init numerous at the flying-places, as for instance near la Soledad in the Missiones and at other ))laces. 



80. Geiuis: £iiiatiir$;iiia Rob. 



Three sjjecies, one of them greatly deviating, form this genus. They have long, projecting palpi, 

 feebly thickened, not very long antennae, remarkably broad wings, the forewing with a stretched costa and 

 four-branched subcostal, the two last branches of which form a fork with a long stalk. The compact abdomen 

 reaches the anal angle of the hindwings, though it does not project beyond it. The butterflies are not common. 



E. bifasciata Meng. (= mabildei Rub.) (140 e). Blackish-bi'own, with 2 parallel, ochreous oblique fif/n.scift/a. 

 bands, being several times interrujjted, through both wings, and with small ochreous spots before the border. 

 Beneath like above. South Brazil and Paraguay. — In ochrophlegma Stich. the yellow markings are ex- ochrophlvg- 

 panded; Argentina, Our ^-figure, according to a specimen from CJoy.vz, forms a transition to it. '""•
