173. Genus: JSprius G. & 8. 



Antennae~'and palpi as in the preceding; on the forewing the middle radial vein is less far depressed. 

 The cJ stigma consists of 2 longitudinal stripes, one of which is situate on the median between its branches, 

 while the other extends proximally to it as far as the rise of the lower branch ; the hindwing shows very long 

 hair at the proximal margin of the abdominal fold. 



E. veleda G. db S. (189 g). Blackish-brown with a similarly coloured stigma. Beneath scantily strewn reZeda. 

 with yellow; base of antennal club beneath ochreous-yellow. Mexico to Panama, Trinidad. 



174. Genus: MuasicleiS G. <fe S. 



Distinguished from the preceding genus by the (J stigma extending from the rise of the lower median 

 vein obliquely to the middle of the submedian, being broad, though indistinct and interrupted. 



M. geta G. <& S. (189 g) is blackish-broAvn with a similarly coloured stigma. Beneath scarcely lighter, geia. 

 The forewing at the proximal and distal margins and the hindwing in the basal half and at the distal margin 

 scantily strewn with lilac grey. Base of antennal club beneath ochreous-yellow. Mexico to Costa Rica. 



M. hicetaon G. tfc S. resembles geta above. Beneath lighter, the forewing in the middle darker, at hiceiaon. 

 the costal margin and apex as well as the whole hindwing scantily strewn with ochreous-yellow. Mexico. 



M. rivera Plotz (189 h) is twice as large as geta, above almost black, beneath more variegated, at rivera. 

 the distal margin of the forewing in the upper half tinted yellowish-grey with a subapical, light costal-marginal 

 spot and an inner-angular spot. Hindwing with a yellowish-grey apical band and a lighter grey distal margin 

 and proximal margin. From Rio de Janeiro. 



175. Genus: CallimomiUfS Scddr. 



Separated by the i^ scent-organ being composed of 2 stripes, one of which in some species is acute- 

 angular with differently long sides on the middle segment of the median, the other being below the submedian. 

 Terminal joint of the palp long, slender and pointed and almost vertically erect. 



C. juventus Scddr. (189 h) is above dark brown, behind the stigma with 2 or 3 small, indistinct ochreous jm-en<j<s. 

 spots. Beneath with lighter yellow veins, a darker marginal band and basal part, so that a postdiscal band 

 of light yellowish spots is prominent. Mexico to Brazil. 



C. polita Plotz (189 h) is above similar, but especially on the hindwing with broad ochreous-yellow polUa. 

 fringes. Beneath the hindwing is much darker, olive-blackish, with yellow veins and a double postdiscal row 

 of yellow dots. Patria unknown. 



C. filata Poey (= radiola Mob.) (189 h) differs from polita by its larger size, darker ground-coloiu- filata. 

 and just as dark fringes. Beneath the same, at the apex of the forewing, and on the hindwing vnth. yello-«ish 

 veins. Panama to Colombia, Venezuela, Guiana, Brazil, in Cuba and Trinidad. Distinguished from ParpJiorus 

 storax (188 a) by a longer terminal joint of the palp and a different stigma, being larger than the likewise very 

 similar gracilis with distinct yellow veins. 



C. vetula Mah. (= interpunctata Plotz) (189 h) is above purer black, with a slight steel reflection vetula 

 and darker veins, beneath as polita from which it differs by entirely dark fringes. Brazil (Bahia, Para). 



C. fabulinus Plotz (189 h) is allied to the preceding, larger, more slender, above browner with fabuUnns. 

 traces of small, lighter, postdiscal, subapical and cellular spots. Beneath somewhat darker than vetula, otherwise 

 the same. Surinam. 



C. gracilis Fldr. (= alsimo Plotz) (189 k) is above darker than jttventtis, beneath without light gracilis. 

 discal spots; forewing above at the costal margin, between the median veins and at the cell-end scantily strewn 

 with yellow. Beneath the apex of the forewing, and the hindwing with light ochreous-yellow veins. Mexico 

 to Colombia and Venezuela. 



C. corades Fldr. (= decrepidai/. ->S'c7ia//., tenera P/dfe) (189 k) has above mostly more distinct ochi-eous- corades. 

 yellow cellular, postdiscal and subapical spots than the other species; but they may also be famter or almost 

 absent. Beneath the hindwing is yellowish or more lilac-grey with a postdiscal row of dots and a darker mar- 

 ginal band. Mexico to Brazil and in Trinidad. 



C. diaeses Schs. Above dark brown with lighter fringes and on the forewing some small oclu-eous- diaeses. 

 yellow postdiscal scales. Beneath brown, dusted with violet, apex of forewing and distal margin with yellow 

 veins, hindwing with yellow veins and a discal streak and a postdiscal row of minute whitish spots. Expanse 

 of wings: 19 mm. South Eastern Brazil.
