50 NEAGATHIA; POECILOCHLORA; HYALOCHLORA; CHROTOCHLORA. By L. B. Proitt. 
of elongate spots, somewhat confluent, but divided at least by red lines on the veins (type in coll. Brit. Mus.). 
Tendencies towards this form in the $ are perhaps a characteristic of the Sta. Lucia race. 
Ph.hydatodes Wan. (6 d) is an erratic species, perhaps related to subfulvata, but with the distal margin 
of both wings gibbous in the middle and with a highly characteristic subdiaphanous anterior patch on the 
forewing above and beneath. French Guiana; found also on the Upper Amazon and in Peru. 
Ph. vitiosaria Dogn. (6 d) should, by its wing-form, be associated with Ph. hydatodes rather than with 
the following genus, to which it was formerly referred. Shape of forewing more extreme, discocellulars formed 
somewhat as in Chloractis ; further characterized by the broad orange-brown outer band, etc. <$ with antenna 
pectinate to about %, hindtibia not dilated. S. Ecuador (type) and S. E. Peru. 
14. Genus: Neagathia Wan. 
Differs from Phrudocentra in the more hyaline wings. Fore wing with distal margin sinuous, but not 
actually excised anteriorly. Hindwing characterized by having two teeth or very short tails, respectively at 
the 1st and the 3rd radial. Antenna of pectinate to little beyond middle, of $ simple. Erected for corruptata 
which — if semilucida be only a form of it — remains the sole species. 
N. corruptata Feld. (0 d). Unmistakable and showing no great variation except in size. $ larger than <$. 
Common on the Amazons, whence come Felder’s type. Also common in the Guianas and parts of Venezuela, 
E. Colombia to E. Bolivia and reaching Costa Rica. — semilucida Schaus, founded on a from Rio, is more 
poorly coloured. On seeing the unique type in Washington I wrote “perhaps a race (possibly even an aberration 
— discoloured)”. In any case very close. 
15. Genus: I*oecilo©hlora Wan. 
This is another small genus, founded chiefly on shape and coloration. General characters as in the two 
preceding. From Neagathia it differs in the non-hyaline wings, from Phrudocentra in having the hindwing 
weakly elbowed at the 1st radial, dentate at the 3rd, somewhat concave between. Antenna of <$ shortly 
pectinated, of $ simply ciliated. Forewing with termen weakly sinuate anteriorly, elbowed at 3rd radial. 
P. heterograpfa Warr. (6 d) is the larger species, with rather shorter palpus, the green ground-colour 
mixed with white between the lines on the posterior part of the forewing and anterior part of hindwing. 
Described from the same locality as minor , known also from Colombia. 
P. minor Wan. (6 d). See heterograpfa for the differentiation. Only known from Santo Domingo 
(Carabaya, S. E. Peru) and adjacent localities. 
16. Genus: Hyalochlora Prout. 
Wings still more strongly hyaline than in Neagathia, more regularly rounded, even the hindwing only 
very slightly waved and with a scarcely noticeably bend at the 1st radial, caused by a straightening of the 
margin from this point to the apex. Antenna and palpus much as in the two preceding genera. Forewing with 
the discocellulars extremely deeply inbent, the 1st median vein well stalked. Erected only for splendens Druce ; 
the new species now added is very closely related. As I find that the $ frenulum is really present, I suspect 
that Hyalochlora may prove a specialized offshoot of Racheospila. 
H. splendens Druce (6 e). Coloration, even in fresh specimens, extremely delicate. Postmedian line 
of hindwing pretty regularly curved. Mexico (type), Costa Rica and Colombia. 
H. antolodoxa PrmU (6 e). $ 34—37 mm, $ 39 mm. Postmedian line of forewing less, of hindwing 
more, irregular in its course than in splendens , distal area proximally much brighter pink, distally more yellow, 
mid-hindmarginal patch more triangular, more obliquely placed. Costa Rica: Orosi, 1200 m (A. H. Fassl), 
3 (YcY, 1 ?• Type in coll. Joicey. 
17. Genus: Clirotochlora Wan. 
Face broad, prominent. Palpus in d short. Antenna in <$ with very short, stout pectinations which 
bear short but strong ciliation. Tongue strong. Hindtibia with 4 closely approximated spurs, terminal process 
vestigial. Abdomen not crested. Forewing with 1st subcostal arising from cell, running into costal; 1st median 
sometimes stalked. Hindwing with 1st median variable, connate to rather long-stalked. Only one species 
known and this only in the $; its exact affinities uncertain. Possibly collateral with Tachychlora.
