Lepidoptera of the Amazons. 317 
Gynopteryx gygearia is allied to Cimicodes torquataria, 
of which Gynopteryx liodesaria is evidently a variety ; 
G. ? celeraria (= prelataria, H.-Sch.), is unquestionably 
nearly allied to Guenée’s Cimicodes pallicostata. 
Clysia succedens is a Lycimna ; C. mixtipennaria would 
be better placed in Hutrapela, although somewhat aberrant 
even for that genus, and C. decisaria is an Endropia near 
to EH. peetinaria. 
Cherodes transponens of Walker is a slight variety of 
Oxydia vesulia of Cramer, but the specimen miscalled 
O. vesulia by Dr. Herrich-Schaffer (and nevertheless 
labelled with a MS. name of his own), is clearly 
O. agliata of Guenée, whilst the examples placed under 
the latter species by Walker are again varieties of O. 
vesulia of Cramer. 
Guenée’s first group of Oxydia, consisting of O. vulpe- 
cularia only, may retain the generic name Acrosemia 
proposed for it by Dr. Herrich-Schaffer ; the marvellously 
simple antenne of both sexes will at once separate it 
from the next species, O. capnodiata, which is wrongly 
associated with O. bendiata under Group II. 
Oxydia capnodiata is clearly a very slight variety of 
Walker’s Herbita aglausaria, and may therefore stand 
as Herbita capnodiata. 
Oxydia bendiata is allied to Cherodes translineata, and 
to Acrosenia decurtaria of Herrich-Schaffer, which is (if 
more than a variety) a local form of Walker’s Ira 
atomaria; these species, which nearly approach Acro- 
senia vulpecularia in structure, may be placed under 
Walker’s genus Ira. . 
If I have rightly identified them, Guenée’s O. hispata 
and O. distichata may be only well-marked varieties of 
O. vesulia; Walker included all three under the name of 
O. agliata: Cherodes translinquens of Walker is an 
Oxydia, and probably O. nimbata of Guenee, the descrip- 
tion of which it agrees fairly well with. 
Under the specimens sent by Dr. Herrich-Schiiffer as 
O. trapezata, and agreeing with Walker’s Mucronodes 
mundipennata, I recognise examples of the form named 
O. trychiata by Guenée.
