908 CAMPTOPLEURA ; CYCLOGYPHA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 



than the others. Forewiiig beneath blackish, marginal area lighter, ferruginous-reddish, especially at the proximal 



margin. Hindwing in the posterior half light ferruginous-brown, the black bands hardly visible. Bolivia. 

 lachesis. E. lachesis Schs. looks lilie osyris (177 a) and is above separated by a small hyaline spot in the upper 



angle of the black cell-spot and a subapical hyaline spot. Beneath the yellovv of the hindwing extends in 2 



antemarginal rows of spots to the costal margin, and the proximal angle of the forewing also shows 2 yellow 



spots. Mexico (Tabasco). 

 ecliptica. E. ecHptica Btlr. (177 b) is extremely similar to the preceding, the proximal half of the forewing 



is much more monotonous in the colouring, darker, without the violettish-grey dusting. The posterior tibiae 



are without the hair-pencil which is present in the two preceding, ftlexico to the Amazon. 

 Claudia. E. claudia Plolz (176 i) is above very similar to undiilatus, easily discernible by the hindwing beneath 



triseriata. being coloured bluish-grey in the larger anal half. Venezuela. — triseriata Plotz (176 i) is presumably only 



a form of it with a still more extensive and more violettish whitish anal part of the hindwing beneath, so that 



there are 3 transverse bands in it ; the forewing is also somewhat whitish at the apex and proximal angle. 



Venezuela. 

 chacona. E. chacona Plotz (177 b) from Panama is very closely allied to claudia. but much smaller. The 



upper siu'face shows much more faded band-marking, the hindwing beneath is in the anal half of the distal 



margin only narrowly bluish-grey, so that only one transverse band is in it. 

 eremiia. E. eretTlita Plotz (177 b) is larger, above dusted lavender-grey, with distinct, coherent macular 



bands, in the cell there is only one sliortened .spot. The hindwing beneath is almost quite whitish bluish-grey, 



only the costal-marginal part is narrowly greyish-brown. South America. 

 impressa. E. impressa Mah. (177 c) is blackish, without any violet tints. Forewing at the base and apex lighter, 



in the discal area darker. Hindwing almost uni-coloared with 2 indistinct darker transverse bands. Beneath 



lighter brown. Palpi below grey. From Panama to Bolivia. 



43. Genus: Caiuptopleiira Mah. 



The palpal apex is obtuser than in the preceding genus. The forewing shows a costal fold in the end 

 of which the costal margin forms an obtuse angle ; the broad hindwing is regularly rounded, otherwise all agrees 

 with Ehrietas. 



theramencs. C. theramcJies Mob. (= auxo Mschlr.) (177 c) is dark brown, with deep violettish-black bands 



and watered in the same colour. The under surface is lighter with 2 dentate darker bands near the distal margin. 

 The proximal margin is somewhat lighter. Mexico to South Brazil. 

 ebenus. C. ebenus 3Iab. in its size and coloirring resembles Brachycorine areas (Drury), but it is still blacker, 



forewing scantily strewn with small grey scales behind and below the cell. Beneath unmarked, only at the 

 margin somewhat lighter. By the angled costal margin it belongs here. From Bolivia. 

 iphicrafes. £. iphlcrates Mab. has very broad wings; blackish-brown, strewn with a greyish blue, the undulate 



lines reddish* black. Hindwing more reddish ochreous-brown, broadly margined dark, with 2 blackish-brown 

 marginal bands. On the under surface all the lines are light reddish-brown, in the disc almost whitLsh, unmarked, 

 with a darkened apex of the forewing; hindwing reddish-brown with a narrowly darkened distal margin. Very 

 closely allied to thrasyhulv.s, but constantly differing. From Cayenne and Brazil. 

 tcrmon. C. tcrmoti Hpffr. (= strigalosa Stgr. i. 1.) is likewise very clo.sely allied to thrasyhulus (177 c), but 



differing by the marking and colouring. Above more ochreous-grey, the costal and distal margins red-brown 

 with 3 red-brown, spotted undulate lines, p.t the border greyish-blue with a sa.gittally spotted marginal band 

 strewn with blue. Hindwing still lighter grej-ish-ochreous, distal margin and 2 undulate bands dark brown. 

 Beneath the forewing is whitish-ochreous, the costai margin of the forewing, 2 confluent marginal bands, hind- 

 wing with 2 costal-marginal spots and apex darker. Length of forewings: 19 mm. Peru (Chanchamayo). 

 iisias. C. tisias G. db S. (177 c) looks very much like C. thrasyhulus; the markings are more regularly 



linear, not so faded, the ground-colour is of a more uniform tint. Costa Rica, Panama to the Amazon. 



cataphanes. Q, cataphanes Mab. is smaller than i^eramewes (177 c) and most closely allied to Sermon; the violettish 



bluish-black markings are finer, more distinct, towards the base they disappear more under the lavender-grey 

 dusting which co\''ers the costal-niorginal part and ba.sal part as well as the body. Beneath blackish, the proximal 

 angle of the forewing whitish in the o, at the costal margin there is a very distinct, black macular band; hindwing 

 in the rj in the anal half light red-brown, in the $ as far as the middle of the cell whitish with 2 black band.s 

 and 2 cell-spots. Fringes black. Sa. Catharina. 



44. Genus: Cyclogj'plia Hb7i. 



Very closely allied to the preceding genus and distinguished by a stronger antenna! club, longer termmal 

 joint of the palpus, and a m^ore pointed apex of the forewing. The co^■i:a! margin of the hindwing is strongly 

 angled behind the proxim.al third, and shows a long hair-pencil at the rise of the costal.
