0. jaspidata Warr. Near excrescens (7 g) in wing-shape, coloration, red base of forewing and develop- jaspidata. 
ment of some reddish scaling behind the cells, but with the borders scarcely broader than in continuata, only 
the apical of the forewing extended (intermediate between those of circumdata and excrescens). Rio Deme- 
rara, a in poor condition, scarcely an aberration of the following ? 
0. excrescens Warr. (7 g). Readily recognizable by the ample dark purple-red markings, particularly excrescens. 
the posterior one on the forewing proximally. French Guiana (loc. typ.) and the Amazons. 
0. hyalina Warr. Similar to fractimacula (4g) and atopochlora (7 c) except in the more sinuate margin of the hyalina. 
forewing and pronounced excision of the hindwing between the radials. From Bogota I know only the type $, 
which has the marginal markings of the forewing even smaller than in the $ of atroviridis, the abdominal 
margin of the hindwing perhaps relatively longer. — atroviridis Warr. (7 g, h). Borders in the very heavy, atroviridis. 
on the forewing confluent; in the $ moderate, well separated except by the terminal line. Carabaya, S. E. Peru. 
0. dolens Bruce (7 h). Smaller than atroviridis $ and with the blackish markings still more extensive, dolens. 
on the forewing leaving only small basal, apical and midterminal patches green. Rio Dagua, W. Colombia, 
only the type known. 
0. semispurcata Warr. (7 h) is a curious-looking species, of somewhat uncertain position, the markings semispurca- 
ample, but consisting only of vague subconfluent spots. St. Jean de Maroni. ia - 
0. plurimaculata Warr. differs from delphinata (7 h) in the rather broader wings, the hindwing with much piurimacu- 
less developed tail, on the other hand with an appreciable, though very slight, angle at the 1 st radial; subapical ?aia • 
spot of forewing rather larger (4 mm long), anteriorly crossing (in delphinata bounded by) the 5th subcostal; 
abdominal crests rather larger. Pozuzo, Huanuco, E. Peru, and I have recently seen 2 $$ from Taperinha, 
near Santarem (Dr. H. Zerny). — symmicta suhsp. nov. (7 h) has the shape and hindwing maculation of typical symmicta. 
plurimaculata but with reduced subapical patch of forewing like that of delphinata ; differs from both in that 
the abdomen above and the abdominal patch of the hindwing are purple-blackish, the latter somewhat short¬ 
ened. Minas Geraes, 4 February (coll. Seitz), 1 $ . 
0. delphinata Warr. (7 h). Hindwing scarcely bent at 1 st radial but with a small, sharp tail at the delphinata. 
3rd. S. E. Brazil. — heteromorpha Warr., from Paraguay, is typically a little larger and has the tail slightly hetero- 
blunter, the apical patch of the hindwing a trifle shorter, leaving a broader green space between this and the morph a. 
tornal spot; will perhaps ultimately be considered synonymous. 
0. circumsessa Prout (5 k). A small species, with pronounced tail to the hindwing. Apart from its drcumses- 
size and shape, it differs from latimargo (7 i) in the differently formed and less reddish borders. Founded on a sa - 
from Rio Ucayali, Peruvian Amazons. 
0. fumidimargo Dogn. is, according to its author, “between excrescens (7 g) and latimargo ” (7 i), and fumidimar- 
he has forgotten to mention the shape of the hindwing. I suspect, however, that it is really close to latimargo, Q°- 
but with the borders more variegated, the anterior patch of the forewing larger (reaching the 1 st median), 
the posterior one undulate proximally. Colombia near Cali, 2200 m. 1 <J. 
0. latimargo Warr. (7 i). Inshape and colouring near asmura, on an average smaller; readily distinguish- latimargo. 
able by the more extended borders. Peru (type) and Colombia. 
0. asmura Bruce (7 i) shows little variation exept in size, and cannot be confused with any other asmura. 
known species. Costa Rica to Bolivia, originally described from Panama. 
0. rhodophragma Prout (4 b) is very dissimilar to all the other species and as the unique type has lost rhodophrag- 
its hindlegs and the $ is unknown, the systematic position is somewhat uncertain. Palpus rather short. Pec¬ 
tinations not very long. Coclajas, Upper Amazon. 
0. lactecincta Warr. (7 i). This species and the following are transitional towards Progonodes, but lactecincta. 
are better placed here, as the palpus of the $ is moderate, with rather elongate 3rd joint, lactecincta is easily 
distinguished by the shape of the green parts and the absence of green spots on the costal and subterminal 
white bands. Fonte Boa, Upper Amazon. 
0. sporadata Warr. (7 i). Wings of £ narrow, of $ ample, the white parts (except costal area of hind- sporadata. 
wing) more or less spotted with green. Guianas, Amazons and E. Peru, the type from St. Jean de Maroni. 
25. Genus: Progonodes Warr. 
A derivative of Oospila, in both sexes with extremely short palpus, hindwing typically with a faint 
angle at the 3rd radial and with the stalking of the 1 st median vein rather short, sometimes failing. Only a 
few species known.
