940 BUZYGES; ATRYT0N0PSI8. By Dr. M. Draudt. 



subapically, and below them near the margin (2 small .spots); the hindwing also shows a cellnlar spot and a 

 postdiscal row of yellow, oblong spots. Beneath darker than the (J, the spots more distinct. Expanse of wings: 

 3(1 mm. Petropolis. 



A. heras G. d' S. (182 h) is blackish-brown, the stigma inside almost lead-colom'ed ; at the cell-end two 

 small, reddish-yellow spots, behind them a quadrangular spot and 3 below the apex: the costal margin is densely, 

 the basal part scantily strewn with reddish-yellow. Hindwing with a postmedian band of reddish-yellow spots. 

 Beneath red-brown, basal half of the costal margin and submedian area blackish. Hindwing with 2 indistinct, 

 bent bands of ochreons-yellow spots. Mexico (Guerrero). 



A. chalcone »SV■/^s. has dark brown wings haired ochrcous at the liase, at the costal margin and in 

 the cell: in the cell-end there is a small, yellow spot, behind it an ol)tusely broken row of spots along the stigma 

 almost to the apex; hindwing haired olive at the basal half, with a yellow cellular spot and a row of spots behind 

 it. Beneath ochreous olive, forewing in the proximal half black, the spots darker, the lower ones larger: spots 

 on the hindwing indistinct and smaller. In the V the spots are larger and semi-transparent bone-coloured. 

 Expanse of wings: 30 to 35 mm. Petropolis. 



anihi. A. anita Schs. Above brown, at the costal margin and subapically strewn with dark ochreous, with 



a small, yellow subapical spot; below the cell and behind the stigma dusted ochreous; proximal margin haired 

 olive. Hindwing with a postdiscal ochreous-yellow band, behind it ochreous dusting. Beneath olive-green, 

 forewing in the proximal-marginal half blackish, in the inner-angular part light ochreous; hindwing with a 

 broad, white postdiscal band. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Petropolis. 



tania. A. taiiia Schs. Above as nnita, but head and thorax greenish, forewing with a yellow spot at the cell- 



end, the ochreous dusting behind the cell only very scanty. Beneath likewise as anita, but with a yello\\- cellular 

 spot. On the olive-green hindwing there is in the lower cell-angle a small white spot, behind it a narrow, indis- 

 tinct, light postdiscal line with a white dot above the upper median vein and a larger one l)elow the lower 

 median vein. Expanse of wings: 29 mm. Petropolis. 



ti,rhi.'<. A. turbis Schs. is also closely allied to the preceding; on the brown forewing only the basal half of 



the costal margin is narrowly ochreous-yellow and a spot-like shade behind the scent-spot; the postdiscal spots 

 are very small, near the distal margin; in the cell-end a yellow spot, and 3 subapical dots. Hindwing basally 

 haired olive, near the distal margin 3 very small yellow spots. Beneath ochreous-brown, marked as above. 

 at the base of the forewing blackish, hindwing with a very small cellular spot and small spots behind it in 

 a bent row. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Novo Friburgo. 



93. Genus: Biiz.vges G. <t- .s'. 



Distinguished from Atrylone by a longer antennal club set with dentate scales. Costa of hintlwing 



long-haired; the (J without the scent-scale stripe. Only one species: 



■„l„ihni. B. idothea G. A- S. (182 h) is a very conspicuous, easily recognizable .species. Above blackish-brown 



with a large, yellow discal spot from near the costal margin almost to the proximal margin, the costal margin 



being yellow, too; 3 small subapical spots and below them 1 or 2 more. Fringes ochreous-yellow. Costa Rica. 



94. Genus: Atvj'toiiopsis G. d' ,S'. 



Very closely allied to Afrijtoiie, but with a distinctly prolonged apex of tb.e forewing: hindwing at the 

 anal angle somewhat lobate. ,;J with a narrow scent-scale stripe from the upper median vein to the submedian. 

 extending obliquely and being somewhat sinuous and interrupted. 

 flrr((. A. deva Erlic. (182 d) is a large, lustrous light blackish-brown species with an equally coloured stigma; 



3 small subapical dots and 2 small spots between the median veins are Ijone-coloured transparent. Beneath 

 as above, the forewing near the proximal angle and at the apex grey. Hindwing dusted grey and with a post- 

 cellular band of small brownish-black spots: fringes of hindwings white. The $ has larger spots. Arizona, 

 Mexico. 

 ,iiii<i(i,.-i. A. pittacus Ediv. (182 i) is very similar, smaller, with more luunerous spots in the disc and submedian; 



the hindwing also exhibits a short band. Arizona, Mexico. 

 pi/ihoii. A. python Edtr. (182 i) is likewise similar, the macular band of the hindwing only composed of 3 



dots. The hindwing beneath is more band-like lilac-grey, more variegated. Arizona, [Mexico. 

 liKiiiiia. A, hianna Scddr. (182 i). The (^ looks above very much like deva, but it has only one small spot near 



the lower cell-angle beside the 3 subapical ones, the $ exhibiting 2. The under surface is somewhat lighter, 

 distally greyer, on the hindwing with traces of a marginal band, otherwise as above. Atlantic Sates. — In 

 (jrolci. f. grotei Plotz there appears yet a hyaline dot in the upper cell-angle, and the under surface of the hindwing 

 is more monotonous.
