short processes are seen (L 1 and L 2 ). These are more easily inspected from the inner 

 side (text-fig. 36), the clasper being bent sideways. The three lobes are all strongly 

 chitinised, being red-brown. The tenth tergite resembles that of S. subtilis, the tip 

 pointing sharply downwards. The penis-funnel is cylindrical, being slightly widened 

 proximally. 



The eighth sternite of the female has the edge thicker than in S. erubescens, 

 notched in the centre and slightly undulating at each side of the middle. The 

 lateral tooth is conical (text-fig. 46). 



We have a pair from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. The female recorded 

 by Hampson from the same province, as subsp. 1 of dryas, also belongs to coccina.

Originally described from a single male from La Oroya, South-East Peru ; 

 several other specimens were subsequently recorded in Nov. Zool. 1910, p. 41, of 

 which the pair from Sta. Catharina is my erubescens. On the other hand, the male

mentioned, I.e., under dryas from Suno, Upper Rio Napo, belongs to pseudodryas. 

 We have now also a male from Sitio, Costa Rica, May (W. Schaus), another 

 from Calama, Rio Madeira, Amazonas, below Rio Machados, August — October 1907 

 (W. Hoffmanns), and a pair from Teffe, Upper Amazons, October 1912 (Dr. Ducke). 

 These specimens agree closely in structure, and all the males have the terminal
