In * Novitates Zoologica*,' vol. xvi. (1909), I described some 

 118 new sj)ecies ot" Aretianre, and the present paper is a 

 continuation of tlie same work. The bulk ot" the species 

 were collected by S. M. Klages and the late G. U. Ockenden.

In vol. iii. of the 'Catalogue of Lepidoptera Phala3nse ' 

 Sir George llampson has united under Ammalo //e/oy».«(Cram.) 

 tlie following : — A. helops (Cram.), A. ferv'ulus, Walk., A. 

 megapyrrhuj Walk., A. ckrysoyaster^ Walk., and A. Im- 

 puticiuSy Grote, to which he afterwards added triiji/laria, 

 Dogii. The latter is quite a distinct sj)ccies. It now roinain.'i 

 tor nie to discuss the five names treated as synonyms by 

 Sir George. 'J'he ligin-e of Cianier clearly shows an insect 

 Avhich has on the fore wing a large reil patch in the cell and 

 four or five other patches of red beyond if. The types ot" 

 clirysogaster and meynpyrrha are both without any such 

 marks, thus agreeing with Grote's impunctus. A. fervid us 

 is a similar insect, but ot an orange-nifons colour all over 

 except the usual yellow and black bandetl abdomen. Thus 

 we tind two distinct tyj)es, one with red patches o;j the disk 

 and one without ; but it appears to be a lact that by far the 

 larger number of specimens Irom Mexico and Central America 

 have no patches, therefore I have come to the conclusion ih.it 

 these ought to be regarded as a separate subspecies under tlic 

 name of -^l. /ieloj>s ineyapyrrlui^ Wlk.
