CATIA: OCHLODES. By Dr. M. Draudt. 933 



margin haired golden brown. Beneath tan-colovu-ed, basally black, at the proximal margin drab. Hindwing 

 ahnost golden orange, towards the proximal margin darker, with a dark brown marginal line. Expanse of wings : 

 28 mm. Venezuela (Suapvire). 



P. Una Plotz (ISld) is a very dark species; in the J scarcely lighter spots project on the forewing, liiiu. 

 the fringes are contrasting reddish-yellow; the $ is more distinctly spotted reddish-yellow, the hindwing also 

 exliibits a rufous postdiscal spot into which a black longitudinal ray extends from the cell. Hindwing beneath 

 yellow with olilong black marginal and discal spots, (ioloml)ia. 



82. Genus: C'atia O. c^ ,s'. 



Antennae half as long as the costal margin, club stout and short with a pointed, slender, bent apex; 

 palpal terminal joint stout, conical, upturned. Wins as in Thymelkas. The o scent-scale spot consists of 4 

 parts: an oval velvety spot on the median between and often yet behind the lise of the median veins, on the 

 base of the submediau a small roundish spot, between both there is a broad, grey scale-stripe, and finallv another 

 larger spot of modified scales. Middle and posterior scales strongly spined. 



C. druryi Lntr. {= pustula Hbn., otho Bsd., egeremet Scddr., aetna Scddr.. ursa Woii/i) (ISle) is ih-uri/i. 

 very similar to ThymeUcus nthenion (181 c), blackish-brown with a black stigma: on the forewing the costal 

 margin, sometimes the cell, a discal spot behind the cell, and 3 subapical clots reddish-yellow: also the hindwing 

 often exhibits extinct discal spots. Beneath reddish-yellow, in the proximal half blackish-brown with 2 or 

 3 postcellular spots; hindwing with a row of light yellow dots near the distal margin. Eastern .States, Georgia, 

 iMexico to Brazil. — The green larva with its brown head lives on Sisyrinchium and changes into a green pupa. 



C. ophites Mab. is larger than druryi. Forewing orange, at the a})cx and distal margin black with npiiile.i. 

 an oblong-quadrangular inner-angular spot as far as the stigma which extends in a black oblique band to the 

 base; from the cell-end a Ijlack stripe extends to the margin. Hindwing the same, at the costal margin darkened, 

 as well as at the anal angle. Beneath reddish-yellow, the base of the forewing and s])()t of the proximal angle 

 are black, the proximal margin itself whitish. The i is similar, more broadly bordered with black, beneath 

 redder. Brazil. Antilles. 



C. pudorina Plotz (= minaya »S'c/i.s.) (ISl e) is closely allied. Wings dark brown, fringes grey ; forewing imildrina. 

 with an indistinct, very small, light spot behind the lower cell-angle, reddish-brown scales at the base of the 

 costal margin and an olive-haired proximal margin; the hindwings are haired the same. Beneath the forewing 

 is blackish with a grey proximal margin and a red-brown costal margin and apex; beside the small spot of the 

 upper surface there is below it another one; hindwing reddish-brown with a dark discal shade and a light cellular 

 spot before it; before the distal margin a lighter shade. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Tijuca. 



C. jobrea Dyai- (181 e, f) is above bronze-black; two thirds of the costal margin are broadly reddish- johrea. 

 yellow, as well as 3 small subapical spots; postdiscal .spots as in pudorina, but more distinct. Hindwing in the 

 disc lighter, reddish-yellow, with traces of 2 or 3 small spots behind it. Beneath the forewing is reddish-yellow 

 above the blackish proximal margin; spots as above; hindwing yellow, dusted with reddish-yellow, with a 

 faint, light postdiscal band. In the J the reddish-yellow costal margin is absent. Mexico (Guerrero). The 

 species was recently declared to be synonymous with otho = druryi by the author himself! 



C. misera Luc. (= mago H.-Hchllff.) (181 e) is larger, in the ,^ much darker, the light spots scarcely mixera. 

 visible, the costal margin dark: the '2 with very small yellow postdiscal spots. Beneath likewise unicoloured 

 dark, only the proximal margin of the forewing somewhat lightei'. grey, and the costal margin somewhat ferru- 

 ginous-yellow. From f'uba. 



C. gemma Plotz (= ravola G. d- S.) (181 f). Above very blight reddish-yellow with a black apex t/fituiia. 

 and distal margin and a black, postdiscal longitudinal stripe. Behind the stigma a large, grey scent-scale area. 

 Beneath almost uni-colom-ed reddish-yellow. Antilles, Dominica. 



C. vesuria Plolz (181 f) is perhaps a somewhat smaller darker local form of the preceding from rcfuria. 

 Jamaica; the distal margin is broader black, especially the hindwing is so broadly bordered with black that 

 only a triangular, reddish-yellow discal spot remains. Beneath the hindwing is somewhat dusted t)live-grcenish 

 from which a lighter yellow postdiscal band projects. 



83. Geiiiis: Oclllodos Scddr. 



Almost like Hykphiln: the antennal club is somewhat longer; the q scent-scale spot consists of a linear 

 stigma, on both sides is an area of differentiated scales. 



0. nemorum jB.st/. (= yreka Edu\) (181 f) is above reddish-yellow with a jet-black stigma and a black m'morum. 

 distal margin into wliich the light veins extend somewhat, and a dark postcellular spot. Beneath very much 

 duller and lighter, in the inner-marginal part of the forewing black with a lai-ge light spot. Hindwing strewn 

 with yellowish-grev. with an indistinct light ])ostdiscal l)and. ( 'alifoi uia.
