Genus AMATHUXIDIA. 

 Amathuxidia, Staudinger, Exot. Schmett. i. p. 188 (1887). 



Imago. — Wings large, short, broad. Foreiving subtriangular ; costa much 

 arched, apex obtuse, exterior margin almost erect, even, posterior angle rounded; 

 posterior margin almost straight ; cell short, very broad ; first subcostal emitted at 

 one-fifth before end of the cell and touching the costal vein near its end ; dis- 

 cocellulars concave, lower very oblique ; median veins slightly curved, upper median 

 bent beyond the cell, but not spurred. Hindwing produced posteriorly into a short 

 spatulate tail ; cell partially closed by a short spur, which extends from the upper 

 median veinlet to near the lower subcostal ; on the upper side is a large velvety 

 (jlandnlar patch extending across the middle of the cell to below the middle and lower 

 medians, but which is vol accompanied icith the usual overlai:>ping tuff of hairs ; along 

 the inner edge of the middle of the submedian vein is a lengthened fold and narrow 

 glandular pouch with an accompanying radiating -tuft of erectile hairs.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dark purpurescent-brown, the basal area almost 

 black ; cilia white. Foreicing crossed by an oblique medial broad excurved pur- 

 purescent violet-blue band extending from the costa to the submedian vein, the band 

 being of uniform width to the lower median veinlet, below which it is somewhat 

 narrower. Hindwing with a large reddish-brown glandular patch extending across 

 the middle of the cell to below the medians, the patch being clothed with laxly 

 packed lengthened broad blackish scales of mostly equal width and obtuse tips ; 7io
