136 NAPEOGBNES. By JR. Haensch. 



brightly coloured. The base of the forewing is red-brown nearly to the end of the cell. In the apex is placed 

 a row of red-brown dots. The red-brown band of the hinuwing is broadly margined with black-brown, dilutata 

 has narrower wings and yellow-brown ground-colour, which is extended beyond the end of the cell of the fore- 

 wing and also borders the distal margin. 



inachia. N. inachia Heiv. (35 g) is very similar to cyrianassa, but the projection is absent at the end of the cell 



of the forewing, which is more transparent yellowish at the base. The antenna is dark. — • In the local form 

 moles, moles Hsch., from British Guiana, all the margins and borders are broader. The disc of the hindwing is yel- 

 tunantina. lowish. The wings are short and broad. — tunantina Bates, from the Upper Amazon, is said to be similar 

 to cyrianassa, but with oval subapical spot on the forewing, so that the black oblique band at the end of the 

 adelphe. cell is continued to the distal margin in the same width. — adelphe Bates, from the Lower Amazon, is like- 

 wise said to be very similar to cyrianassa, with less transparent wings. Apical spot of the forewing almost 

 uniformly broad. The black oblique band gradually narrowed. 



jjheranthes. N. pheranthes Bates, from the Upper Amazon, is said to be similar to inacliia, but with black collar 



and patagia, which are red-brown in the other forms. 



pyrois. N. pyrois Bates, from the Lower Amazon, is likewise similar to inachia, but has no j'ellowish brown in 



the forewing. The anterior half of the hindwing, moreover, is j^ellowish. 



corena. N. corena Hew. (36 b), from the Upper Amazon, as well as from eastern Peru and Ecuador, may be 



recognized by the broad, yellow-brown subapical band of the forewing, which is quite similar also in species 

 of other genera, e. g. : Disniorphia erythroe, Leucothyris ilerdina, luhilerda, Hypoleria sarepta and others. 



lamia. N. lamia Hew. resembles Scada ethica (36 d), but is appreciably larger and has larger white marginal 



dots, especially in the hindwing, as well as a non-forked band over the end of the cell on the latter. 



galinthias. A similar form is N. galinthias Hpffr., from Bolivia, in which the dark marking over the end of the 



cell of the hindwing is absent. 



rhezia. N. rhezia Hbn. recalls Ceratinia laphria, but the black spot in the cell of the forewing and the white 



marginal dots on the upper surface are absent. The species occurs in Brazil. 



xanthone. In N. xanthone Bates (= yanetta Hew.) (36 b), from southern Brazil, the red-brown colouring on both 



richardi. wings is absent except for 2 streaks at the base of the forewing. ■ — • ab. richardi Fruhst., from Central Brazil, 

 on the other hand has stronger red-brown markings at the base of the forewing and in the distal margin of 

 the hindwing. 



leptalina. N. leptalina Fldr., from Central Brazil, has similar markings to xanthone, but without red-brown at the 



base of the hindwing. It recalls Dismorphia methymna. 



crispina. N. crispina Hew., from Colombia, has a reddish base to the forewing and a dark spot at the costal margin 



at one-half the length of the cell. The black distal margin is proximally dentate on the veins. 



henigna. In N. benigna Weijm., from Colombia, there is a reddish streak over the median of the forewing and 



the half-band on the discocellular is broad at the median. 



sulphmina. N. sulphurina Bates (= chinia H.-Schdff., pozziana Oherth.) (36 a) is a yellowish, dark-margined species 



from the Amazons and Brazil, recognizable by the black streak over the median at the base of the forewing 

 and 2 white dots in its apex, as well as by the black antennae. 



osuna. N. osuna Hew., from Bolivia, has broad black margins and in addition to the transverse band across 



the end of the cell of the fore-^-ing an interrupted band across that of the hindwing, as well as a band through 



azeka. the cell of the forewing. — In azeka Hew. (35 g) the markings are similar, but more delicate. The bands 

 through the cell of the forewing and across the end of the cell of the hindwing are here only indicated by the 

 absence of the yellow dusting (which is not brought out well in the figure); also the oblique band at the end 

 gracilis, of the cell of the hindwing is quite narrow from the middle onwards. Colombia and Ecuador. — gracilis 

 Hsch., from Bolivia, is similar to the preceding, with narrower margins and broader half-band across the end 

 of the cell of the forewing, and without the band through the middle of the cell and across the end of the cell 

 of the hindwing. 



mi'en^' ^' pteronymiensis Hscli., from Colombia, has a colourless forewing and a yellow-dusted hindwing with 



dark margins spotted with yellow-brown beneath and a half-band of the same colour across the end of the cell 

 of the forewing. Antenna dark with yeUow-brown club. Apex of the forewing and distal margin of the hind- 

 wing with white marginal dots on the under surface. 



elva, N. elva Godm., from Colombia, which is unknown to me in nature, is said to have transparent wings 



with the margins blackish above and reddish beneath. 



pharo. N. pharo Fldr. (36 b), from the Upper Amazon, is a commoners pecies, with j-ellowish vitreous areas and 



broad black margins, which have yellow-brown stripes beneath. The transverse band of the forewing is gradually
