BUZYGES: ATRYTOXOPSIS. Bv Dr. M. Deaudt. 



subapically. and below them near the margm (2 small spots); the hmdwing also shows a cellular spot and a 

 postdiscal row of yellow, oblong spots. Beneath darker than the ^, the spots more distmct. Expanse of wmgs: 

 30 mm. Petropolis. 



lieras. A. heras G. cfc S. (182 h) is blackish-brown, the stigma uaside almost lead-colom'ed ; at the cell-end two 



small, reddish-yellow spots, behind them a quadrangular spot and 3 below the apex ; the costal margin is densely, 

 the basal part scantily strewn with reddish-yellow. Hindwing with a postmedian band of reddish-yello\^- spots. 

 Beneath red-bro^Ti, basal half of the costal margin and submedian area blackish. Hindwing with 2 indistinct, 

 bent bands of ochreous-j'ellow spots. Mexico (Guerrero). 



chalcone. A. cHalcone Schs. has dark brown wings haired ochreous at the base, at the costal margin and in 



the cell; in the cell-end there is a small, yellow spot, behind it an obtusely broken row of spots along the stigma 

 almost to the apex; hindwing haired olive at the basal half, with a yellow cellular spot and a row of spots behind 

 it. Beneath ochreous olive, forewing in the proximal half black, the spots darker, the lower ones larger; spots 

 on the hindwing indistinct and smaller. In the $ the spots are larger and semi-transparent bone-coloured. 

 Expanse of wings: 30 to 35 mm. Petropolis. 



aniia. A. Htlita Schs. Above brown, at the costal margin and subapically strewn with dark ochreous, with 



a small, yellow subapical spot ; below the cell and behind the stigma dusted ochreous ; proximal margin haired 

 olive. Hindwing with a postdiscal ochreous-j^ellow band, behind it ochreous dusting. Beneath olive-green, 

 forewing in the proximal-marginal half blackish, in the inner-angular part light ochreous; hindwing with a 

 broad, white postdiscal band. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Petropolis. 



tanla. A. tatiia Schs. Above as anita, but head and thorax greenish, forewing with a j^ellow spot at the cell- 



end, the ochreous dusting behind the cell only very scanty. Beneath likewise as anita, but with a yellow cellular 

 spot. On the olive-green hindwing there is in the lower cell-angle a small white spot, behind it a narrow, indis- 

 tinct, light postdiscal line with a white dot above the ripper median vein and a larger one below the lower 

 median vein. Expanse of wmgs: 29 mm. Petropolis. 



turbis. A. turbis Schs. is also closely allied to the preceding; on the brown forewing only the basal half of 



the costal margin is narrowly ochreous-yeUow and a spot-like shade behind the scent-spot ; the postdiscal spots 

 are very small, near the distal margin; in the cell-end a yellow spot, and 3 subapical dots. Hindwing basally 

 haired olive, near the distal margin 3 very small j-ellow spots. Beneath ochreous-brown, marked as above, 

 at the base of the forewing blackish, hindwing with a very small cellular spot and small spots behind it in 

 a bent row. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Novo Friburgo. 



idothea. 



93. Genus: Biiz^'ges G. d- S. 



Distinguished from Atrytone bj- a longer antenna! club set with dentate scales. Costa of hindwing 

 long-haired; the q without the scent-.scale stripe. Only one species; 



B. idothea G. d: S. (182 h) is a very conspicuous, easUj^ recognizable species. Above blackish-brown 

 A^ith a large, j'ellow discal spot from near the costal margm almost to the proximal margin, the costal margin 

 being yellow, too ; 3 small subapical spots and below them 1 or 2 more. Fringes ochreous-yellow. Costa Rica. 



94. Genus: Atrytouopsis G. d- S. 



Very closely allied to Atrytone, but with a distinctly prolonged apex of the forewing; hindwing at the 

 anal angle somewhat lobate. ^J with a narrow scent-scale stripe from the upper median vein to the submedian, 

 extending oblic|uely and being somewhat sinuous and interrupted. 

 deva. A. deva Edio. (182 d) is a large, lustrous light blackish-brown species with an equally coloiu'ed stigma; 



3 small subapical dots and 2 small spots between the median veins are bone-coloured transparent. Beneath 

 as above, the forewing near the proximal angle and at the apex grey. Hindwing dusted grey and with a post- 

 cellular band of small brownish-black spots; fringes of hindwings white. The 5 has larger spots. Arizona, 

 Mexico. 

 pitlams. A. pittacus Edic. (182 i) is very simOar, smaller, with more numerous spots in the disc and submedian; 



the hindwing also exhibits a short band. Aiizona, Mexico. 

 python. A. python Edic. (182 i) is likewise similar, the macular band of the hindwing only composed of 3 



dots. Tile hindwing beneath is more band-like lilac-grey, more variegated. Arizona, Mexico. 

 hianna. A. hianna Scddr. (182 i). The o' looks above very much like deva, but it has onty one small spot near 



the lower cell-angle beside the 3 subapical ones, the $ exhibiting 2. The under surface is somewhat lighter, 

 distally greyer, on the hindwing with traces of a marginal band, otherwise as above. Atlantic Sates. — In 

 groiei. f . grotei Plotz there appears yet a hyaline dot in the upper cell-angle, and the under surface of the hindwing 

 is more monotonous.
