360 ACTINOTE. By Dr. K. Jorpan. 
A. radiata. Sepia-brown to black; forewing with a pale orange-coloured or somewhat reddish band, 
broken up into spots by the veins and running in a curve from the costal margin to the hinder angle, much 
narrowed posteriorly and placed entirely outside the cell. On the underside the band is somewhat more rose- 
coloured than above, the apex of the forewing and the entire hindwing regularly striped, the stripes somewhat 
more brownish than the band. Ecuador and Peru, will probably also be found in Bolivia. The 2 is apparently 
not known. — radiata Hew. (81a). Wings sepia-brown. Eastern Ecuador. — intensa Jord. Wings nearly 
black. Band narrower, with more distinct rose-coloured tone. Eastern Peru. 
A. erinome. Brown-black, slightly tinged with bluish; abdomen beneath with reddish stripe. Fore- 
wing with orange-red discal band from the costa to the lower median; often also a costal stripe, the whole 
cell with the exception of the extreme apex and some postcellular spots of the same colour as the band. These - 
markings are reproduced on the under surface; apex of the forewing and the whole hindwing beneath uniformly 
striped with yellowish grey. The 2 paler than the g and somewhat larger. Ecuador?, Peru and Bolivia. 
— erinome Fidr. (81 a). Forewing only with discal band; in some examples a reddish costal stripe is indicated. 
Central East Peru; FrLppr’s locality “Ecuador” required confirmation. ab. sciana Jord. is unicolorous brownish 
black above; the band of the forewing distinctly present beneath, very much reduced above. — carabaia 
Jord. Forewing with costal stripe and usually on both surfaces, or at least beneath, with yellowish red cell- 
spot. South-East Peru. — testacea Salv. & Godm. (= byzia Hew., asthilla Hpffr.) (81a). The yellowish red 
colour fills up the cell with the exception of the extreme apex and usually extends distinctly below the cell 
as far as the lower median vein. Occasionally the discal band is joined to the postcellular spots, so that a 
black discocellular spot is separated off. Bolivia. 
A. abana. Wings slightly transparent, with faint blue gloss; upper surface sepia-brown; forewing with 
large pale orange area, extending from the base to beyond the cell and to the hinder angle, but very commonly 
reduced from the base onwards or even replaced by a discal band; the veins intersecting the area more or 
less black. Beneath the veins quite narrowly black, the apex of the forewing and the whole hindwing yellowish 
grey, striped with black, the area on the forewing less often reduced and then not so strongly as above and distally 
never incised at the veins. 9 paler and larger than the ¢. Columbia, Ecuador and Peru; two geographical 
forms. — In capnodes subsp. nov., from Frontina, province of Antioquia in Colombia, the yellow colour on the 
forewing is confined to a broad discal band, which only just crosses the lower angle of the cell, is for the 
most part almost equal in breadth and then pointed towards the hinder angle. The band is about 2 or 2% 
times as broad as the blackish brown apical part of the wing and is so strongly suffused with smoky 
brown that it scarcely stands out at all from the ground-colour. On the under surface, on the other hand, 
it is almost as yellow as in the following form; hindwing and apex of the forewing beneath more yellowish 
than in the latter. The Q larger than the g and the discal band yellow and well defined above also. 
2 gg and 1 9 in the British Museum. — abana Hew. (81a). The yellow area of the forewing extended 
to the base or, if reduced, broken up into stripes. East Ecuador and East Peru, known to me southwards as 
far as the Rio Pozuzo. 
Subsection 2. Under surface of the hindwing without scattered bristles on the disc between the veins. 
a) hylonome Group. 
Under surface of the hindwing with a number of bristles in and below the cell besides the bristles on the 
cell-fold, the veins and the reduced submedian vein. 
A. hylonome Dd/. (82b). Black, wings slightly transparent; forewing with white band, composed of 
4 spots; the Ist spot quadrate, in the cell, the 2nd small, in the angle before the base of the upper median 
vein, and the 3rd and 4th larger, between the upper median vein and the submedian fold, no spot distally 
to the end of the cell. Beneath the band somewhat broader, the apex of the forewing and the whole hind- 
wing striped with yellowish and with black, the stripes in the middle of the hindwing less distinct. 9 larger 
than 3, with broader band, under surface paler, usually with whitish scaling distally to the end of the cell. 
The abdomen is usually in both sexes spotted with lighter or darker yellowish beneath, occasionally quite black. 
— A common species in Venezuela and Colombia. 
A. euryleuca Jord. (82b). 3 larger than that of hylomene, with broader band, which runs so far 
distally that the discocellular veins are placed inside it, the spot between the two median veins (the last 
but one) the largest, reaching nearly to the distal margin. Under surface uniform yellow-grey with black 
stripes; the band broader than above. Upper radial of the hindwing from the cell or stalked with the subcostal, 
the bristles in and beyond the cell of the hindwing (beneath) more numerous than in the preceding species. 
Moyobamba, North Peru, only a few ¢¢ known to me. 
b) neleus Group. 
The bristles on the underside of the hindwing confined to the cell-fold and veins. Upper radial of
