ill the Basin of the Amazons. 265 



56. Eudioptis hyalinata. 



Phalcena-Geometra hi/alinata, L. S. N., iii., 2, 873, 279. 

 Phalcena-Pyralis marqinalis, Cram., Pap. Exot., iv., 160, 



pi. 371, fig. d; v., pi. 22, fig. 9. 

 PhakeUiim qiqantalis, Snellen. Tijd. v. Ent., 1875, 



p. 234, Vl. 13, figs. 7, 8. 



Four examples. Three males from Fonte Boa, E. 

 Solomoes, Nov. 16tli, 1874, Manlies, April 27th, 1874, 

 and Hyntanaham, E. Purus, Sept. 28th, 1874, respec- 

 tively ; one female from P. m. de Salois, April 19th, 

 1874. 



Snellen's gigantalis appears to be merely a large form 

 with narrower band to the hind margin. The fifth 

 example in the British Museum Collection (marked h in 

 Walker's Catalogue) from the West Coast of S. America 

 is this variety, and the <? above mentioned from Fonte 

 Boa is another. 



57. Eudioptis arguta. 



Phakellura an/uta, Ld., W. E. M., vii., pp. 401, 478, 

 pL 13, fig. 15. 



Two specimens, both males ; that from Tunantins, 

 Nov. 23rd, 1874, the other from Lages, Jan. 1st, 1875. 



Lederer gives N. America as a locality. Snellen, 

 Tijd. V. Entom., 1875, p. 232, records two males taken 

 in January, 1871, near Puerto de Ocaha, on the E. 

 Magdalena. 



58. Gljiphodes sihillalis. 



Glyphodes sihillalis, Wlk., Cat. Lep. Het., B. M., xviii., 



p. 506. 

 G. Batesi, Feld., Eeise Nov., pi. 135, fig. 29. 



Four males. One from Jamiry, E. Madeira, May 

 28th, 1874 : one from Itatoro, on the same river, June 

 2nd ; one from Ilha das Araras, June 3rd; and one from 

 E. Javary, Dec. 8th. 



Folder's specimen is a ? from the Amazons ; in the 

 note to the figure are the words "very much like G. 

 sihillalis, Wlk." To me it seems identical.
