B. Hind wing of A w i t li hair -fringed excavation posteriorly ( Asellodes). 
A. vitraria Schaus (11 i). Colouring nearly as in fenestraria <$, shape and markings very different: fore- vitrarm. 
wing with termen almost straight from 5th subcostal to 1st median, hindwing with strong teeth at 2nd sub¬ 
costal and 1st radial (the latter somewhat the longer) very obtusely emarginate in front of anal angle, the “hair’' 
(or hairlike scaling) at the 3rd radial to 1st median dense but short. Ecuador (type) and E. Peru. 
A. bivitraria sp.n. (11 i). Extremely similar to vitraria, with which it has hitherto been mixed; yet bivitraria. 
really very easy to separate. Hindwing with the anterior tooth longer than the posterior, which is rounder 
and blunter than in vitraria, the excision in front of anal angle narrow but deep and acute, the fringe of hair¬ 
scaling stronger. E. Peru and E. Bolivia, the type from Palcazu, Junin (Sedlmayr) in Mus. Tring. The Peru¬ 
vian forms are a little smaller and broader-winged than vitraria, but this distinction scarcely applies to the 
Bolivian. 
A. hebetior Warr. (= daulias Oberth.) (11 i). Rather smaller and greyer than the preceding, teeth of hebetior. 
hindwing very much reduced, excision in front of anal angle nearly as in bivitraria. The $ is similarly marked 
to the (J, but of course lacks the special modifications of the anal region of the hindwing; the termen of this 
wing is more regularly dentate throughout and the vitreous spot in cellule 6 isolated from the central group. 
Best known from the type locality, Maroni River, but the Rev. A. M. Moss has taken a few at Para. 
A. laternaria Guen. (14 a). Near the genotype in shape and structure, but with the forewing less strongly latcmaria. 
angled at the 1st median. Further very distinct in its more rosy ground-colour and differently formed hyaline 
patches; the latter on the hindwing are somewhat variable, the outer spot sometimes absorbed into the central 
one. Pupa similar to that of fenestraria (Collenette, from larvae collected in Panama Canal zone). Described 
from Brazil, but very widely distributed: Panama (with Taboga), Trinidad, Venezuela, Bolivia and even La 
Plata (town). 
A. platygymna P rout (12 b). Similar in coloration to laternaria but with the hyaline patches still larger; ; platygymna. 
but as the £ hindwing is even less dentate-margined than constellata and the special clothing of the underside 
only indicated at the anal angle, it should properly be regarded as a link between typical Asellodes and the 
section Pseudasellodes. Bolivia: prov. del Sara, only known from 2 <?(?• 
A. nigrofasciaria H.-Sch. Unknown to me. Its author writes: “As I have only a $ before me, the cor- nigrofascia- 
rect position is uncertain. Size and habitus of fenestraria, the cinnamon-reddish disc of the forewing bounded 
by broken but sharply defined flesh-coloured costal margin, broad apex and anal angle; the disc of the hind¬ 
wing in the basal half transparent, its distal half fleshy reddish.” Gundlach adds that the specimen was bred 
from a larva found on guayaba (Psidium) in the Trinidad Mountains (Cuba) and that the two colours on the 
forewing are separated by a dark line and gives some further details of the markings. 
A. fenestraria Guen. ($ = thyreata Feld.) (11 i). Variable, the hyaline patch of the forewing always fenestraria. 
ample, approximately triangular, its hind angle (in cellule 2) rounded, its hindmargin irregular, its centre 
either cut by a band of the ground-colour or at least with a dark mark just proximal to the 2nd discocellar, 
commonly also with some scattered dark marks or dots; hindwing with the central patch moderate or small, 
very irregular in shape, the most constant outer spot (in base of cellule 6) well isolated from it. Cuba and Costa 
Rica to S. Brazil, the type believed to have come from Colombia. The pupa is rather robust, dark and glossy 
(suggesting a cocoon-maker or subterraneous pupa), the central pair of cremastral hooks strong, the others 
extremely fine (preserved pupae from Para, A. M. Moss). — • daphnites Oberth. (12 b) appears to me to be nothing daphnites. 
more than very large, brightly coloured fenestraria-, at least I can point to no definite distinction. Both Ober- 
thur’s examples from Huambo, the type locality, are of this form, and lie also referred here one from Maroni 
River and one from Cochabamba, Bolivia. These fine forms, which are known also from Ecuador, seem to 
be chiefly western. 
13. Genus: Haematopis Him. 
This genus, which (following a laps. cal. of Hflst's) is often quoted in the American literature as 
Haernatoj)sis, is nearly related to Galothysanis, with which it agrees in the very strongly pectinate $ antenna, 
fully developed hindleg in both sexes, venation of the forewing and other characters. It shows, however, in 
the hindwing venation one feature which is of very rare occurrence in the Sterrhinae — a stronger anastomosis 
of the costal vein with the cell, followed by a gradual instead of sudden divergence. The early stages are well 
known and are referred to under the heading of the single known species. 
H. grataria Fb. (= saniaria Him., successaria Walk.) (12 c). One of the best known North American grataria. 
species and quite unlike any other Geometrid yet discovered, though the beautiful colouring recalls some Palae- 
arctic Phodostrophia. Generally not very variable, but — ab. annettearia Haimbach has been considered worthy annettearia. 
of a separate name, as in recurred for several years at Cincinnati; both wings suffused almost throughout with
