884 CABIRUS; GARGA; DICHELURA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 



7naiho. E. ttiatho G. & S. (172 f) resembles priassus, in the cJ with more reddish wings and a large, red, basal 



wedge-shaped si^ot of the forewing, the discal band of a deeper yellow, the proximal margin of the hindwing 

 broadly whitish. In the $ the small spot between the two bands is very small and nearer to the distal band. 

 Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica. 

 concimia. E. coticinna Plolz (172 e) looks very much like the $ of crameriarms, but in the basal part of the 



forewing there is a large triangular, sulphureous spot, the hindwings are quite yellow with a narrow black border. 

 From Para. 

 lemna. E. lemna Btlr. (= annae Plotz, berytus Heiv.) (172 f). The ^ is black, with a large yellow basal area 



inclusive of the costal margin and proximal margin, with two broad yellow oblique bands, often between the 

 two latter with a small yellow spot, hindwing yellow with a black border. The $ described as annae differs 

 from that of priassus by the absence of the white spot below the subapical band and a more extensive, some- 

 what brownish discal spot of the hindwing. Brazil (Para). 

 geniius. E. gentius CV. (172 f) almost looks like lemna, but the colour is a beautiful orange-yellow, the spot 



below the subapical band is large, obliquely quadrangular. The body is orange, too. Colombia. 

 eumelus. E. euttielus Cr. (= serenus Plotz) (172 g) is black with a narrow,] in the cj shortened orange stripe 



in the cell and very narrow white oblique bands and spot. The hindwing is in the (J orange with a narrow 

 black border, in the $ black with a white discal spot. Guiana. 



53. Genus: Cabinis Hhn. 



Almost the same as the preceding, but the posterior tibiae show beside the hair-pencil two pair of spurs. 

 The palpi are more sessile, the 3rd joint short, conical. Only one species. 

 procas. C. procas Cr. (= julettus Stall) (172 f) in the male entirely resembles the numerous yellow and 



black C yllopoda-species of South America: dark yellow with black margins and a black oblique band before 

 the apex of the forewing. The $ is quite different, the yellow colour is replaced by white hyaline spots with 

 broad brownish-black veins and folds. Guiana to Peru. 



Group B. 



In the specie.? of this group the antennal club ist mostly not so semicircularly beufc, occasionally with an 

 obtuse end. The cell of the forewing never attains two thirds of the length of the costal margin; the middle radial vein 

 always rises nearer at the upper than at the lower one. The anal angle of the hindwing is often extended, forming a 

 lobate or dentiform projection: the middle radial vein is always rudimentary. Most of the nearctic forms exhibit a 

 costal- marginal fold in the i^, never a discal stigma. In a great nirmber of genera the 3' exhibits a hair-tuft on the 

 posterior tibiae or forehips; the former always exhibits 2 pair of spurs. All the species of this group, as far as they 

 are known, rest with their wings flatly spread out, frequently on the underside of leaves. (Group A comp. p. 849). 



1. Genus: Garga Mab. 



Antennal club strong, bent, whit a short point, the 3rd palpal joint porrect, conical. Costal fold absent. 

 On the forewing the upper median vein rises a little before the lower cell-angle, the lower much nearer at the 

 base, on the hindwing with a prolonged anal angle the same. Only one species. 

 plaion. G. platon Fldr. (= olena Mob.). Size of Sophista aristoteles (172 g), but the wings narrower, the 



forewing in the apex, the hindwing in the anal part more produced. Wings above dark brown, forewing speckled 

 grey and black, the discal macula forms an X-shaped spot, before the apex 3 hyaline dots. Hindwing with 

 a whitish, bipartite .subcostal macula, the posterior region blackish with 2 grey bands, the proximal margin 

 and anal part densely haired. Under surface ochreous-brown, the hindwing shows beside the hyaline spots 

 above a cell-spot; the small discal bands and the bipartite anal macula whitish in a brown ground, the hindwing 

 with a partly extinct whitish discal band, the proximal margin light with a black subanal macula, before which 

 there is another dark brown one. Palpi, chest and stripes on the ventral sides white. From the Upper Rio Negro 

 and Ecuador. 



2. Genus: Dichelura Mab. 



Antennal club obtuse. Shape of the wings very characteristic: the di.stal margin of the forewing below 



the apex produced in the shape of a tooth, the same on the lower median vein, between concave. Hindwing 



with a long, lobular tooth on the lower median vein with a minute tooth below it, above it and below it deeply 



gnawed out, the anal angle itself again produced. Only one species. 



fricmpida- D. tricuspidata Mab. (173 a) is brown with 2 black transverse bands, on the forewing with a hyaline 



'"• oblique band and small apical spots. Under surface marbled brown with black, torn macular bands. Ecuador.
