jjj,^_ C. nux Schs. Above dark brown, with 3 small, white, postdiscal hyaline spots in an oblique row and 



a very small subapical dot; fringes of hindwing white. Beneath the forewing is blackish-brown, at the apex 

 lighter, in the middle of the distal margin shaded darker; the lowest spot is larger than above and not trans- 

 parent. Hindwing whitish, streaked brown, costal margin brown with a large, dark spot below the cell-end, 

 traversed by the light median vehis. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. Novo Friburgo. 

 ,,,^,;^,_ C. iucia Capr. (1S9 g). Dark brown with a curved postmedian band of lighter spots and lighter speckled 



fringes. Beneath in the apical part of the forewing and on the hindwing reddish-grey, watered with dark brown, 

 with broad, brownish-grey or violettish-grey demi-bands proceeding from the darkened anal part and taj^eringly 

 not reaching to the costal margin. Brazil. 

 duhiianf:. C. dubitans Schs. Above dark brown with a feeble light brown oblique shade behind the cell. Beneath 



olive-brown, the proximal margin of the forewing greyish-brown; hindwing in the middle of the distal margin 

 tinted violet, at the costal margin darker with a dark oblique shade from the apex to behind the cell. Expanse 

 of wings- 29 mm. Novo Friburgo. 

 hiferinedid. C. intermedia Schs. (189 g). Dark brown with a light olive-brown diffuse patch from the middle of 



the proximal margin to the lower cell-end; hindwing haired olive. Beneath the forewing is dark brown, the 

 proximal margin not lighter. Hindwing dark olive-grey, densely striated brown, at the costal margin darker, 

 with a dark shade from the cell-end to the apex. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Brazil (Tijuca), also found in 

 Mexico. 

 occidta. C. occulta Schs. Above dark brown, beneath duller, dusted with reddish, on the forewing the inner- 



marginal part lighter brown. Tiie hindwing exliibits a dark oblique shade from the lower median vein to the 

 apex, the proximal margin is lighter brown. Expanse of wings: 29 mm. Rio de Janeiro. 



170. Genus: Mnaseas G. d- S. 



Antennae shorter than half the costal margin ; terminal joint of the palp long and slender. The (J exhibits 

 a narrow, interrupted scent-scale stripe from the base of the lower median vein obliquely to the fu'st thu'd of 

 the submedian. Only 1 species: 

 hicfiioT. M. bicolor Mob. (= bias Plotz) (189 g). Above lustrous blackish-brown with a stigma of the same 



colour. Beneath lighter, the forewing at the costal margin and apex, and the hindwing is ferruginous brown; 

 the fringes are dirty ochreous-yellow. It greatly resembles Mastor anubis (187 g) and is separable by the narrow, 

 oblique stigma and the longer, slender terminal joint of the palp. Mexico to Colombia. 



171. Genus: Metliioiiopsis 0. <& S. 



Antennae long with a long club; terminal joint of the palp long, erect. Stigma bipartite: one part rests 

 on the middle of the median, the other side of the angle on the lower median vein. In lyphon the lower side 

 of the angle is absent. 



ina. M. ina Plotz (= modestus G. cfc *S'., philemon Btlr.) (189 g). Above blackish-brown Avith a similarly 



coloured stigma. Tne forewing exhibits some postcellular ochreous-yellow scales. Beneath the same, at the 

 proximal margin of the forewing somewhat lighter. Mexico to Brazil. 



iyphon. M. typhoti G. t& S. is above the same. Beneath tinted somewhat purple; on the whole smaller, the 



stigma less developed. Guatemala. 



caeni/ans. M. caerulans Mab. is somewhat smaller than ina, above blackish-brown. Beneath black, in the disc 



of the forewing there are 2 small grey clots, the hindwing shows 4 or 5 dots at the distal margin; the costal and 

 distal margin of the forewing as well as the disc of the hindwing show a bright blue reflection. From Para. 



172. Genus: Eiitoeiis G. d,- S. 



Antennae and palpi as in the preceding genus. Cell of forewing three fifths of the length of the costal 

 margin ; the middle radial at its rise very much bent and nearing the lower radial ; body slender. Middle tibiae 

 without .spines. Tiie ^ exhibits a sagittiform scent-scale stripe in the angle between the median and its lower 

 branch. 



phthia. E. plithia G. d: S. (189 g) is blackish-brown, stigma of the same colour; the forewing exhibits some 



small, ochreous-yellow postcellular .scales. Beneath the same, at the proximal margin lighter, at the costal 

 margin and apex, and on the hindwing scantily strewn with ochreous. Smaller than M. ina which it very closely 

 resembles, only separable by the .stigma and veins. Mexico to Guiana. 



volasufi. E. volasus G. tfc S. is very closely allied to the preceding, beneath more reddish, only very diffusely 



strewn with ochreous. The stigma is less distinct. Panama.
