ANISODES. By L. B. Prout.

A. punetulosa Warr. (12 i). Larger than most of the adjacent species, the shape characteristic; sub- punetulosa. 
terminal maculation strong in the type (placed about as in griseomixta, etc.), weaker in most examples; the 
(slightly oval) cell-marks are pale-centred in the type. Underside strongly marked, forewing clouded in and 
before the cell. — ab. atristigma nov. has the cell-marks solidly deep-black. 2 TT with the type from Chulumani, atristigma. 
Bolivia. The name-typical form also occurs at Santo Domingo, S. E. Peru. — f. (? subsp.) subcolorata nov. subcolorata. 
(12 i) is more warmly coloured (light pinkish cinnamon) and more weakly marked and may possibly — as 
the distal margin of the hindwing seems to be a trifle more rounded — represent a different species; the dark 
suffusions beneath are, in some examples, more tinged with vinaceous than in true punetulosa. Founded on 
3 Tc? from La Oroya and 3 from Charaplaya (Bolivia); as constant in these localities as is punetulosa in the 
others. 
A. aratermaria E. D. Jones (12 f) is the S. E. Brazilian representative of punetulosa or perhaps of spatara antennaria. 
as regards shape and the general scheme of the markings. It is somewhat variable in colour and in the strength 
of the markings, less irrorated, underside weaker-marked, without a definite post-median band. Wings slightly 
more elongate, with distal margins still straighter. Type T from Castro, Parana, other specimens subsequently 
received from Santa Catharina. The T antennal pectinations, though long, do not surpass those of the allies. 
A. spatara Dogn., founded on a single T from Loja and not yet matched exactly, is said to be very spatara. 
near raspata (13 e) but a little larger and more robust, the distal margins less deeply dentate. According to 
some hasty notes which I made when I saw the type, it must be quite similar to subcolorata (12 i) but smoother¬ 
looking, the median shade still weaker, subterminal shades probably wanting. Dognin says that the cell-spots 
of the underside are pupilled with "paille rose - ', which is not the case with subcolorata, though indicated in 
antennaria. Hindlegs lost in the type, but it almost certainly belongs to the present section. 
A. concinnipicta Prout (12 f). This, too, must be near to spatara, the rosy irroration less noticeable concinnipic- 
(extremely fine and slight), the cell-rings very small (especially on the forewing), rose-coloured, on 
the upperside pupilled, on the underside not appreciably so. Both wings are elongate, but the apex of the 
forewing and the termen of the hindwing are slightly better rounded than in punetulosa, the underside with 
less band-like shading accompanying the post-median dots. Colombia: Sierra del Libane, 6000 feet. 
A. sordida Dogn. (12 e). A variable species, marked alike on both surfaces, only with the colouring sordida. 
a little paler beneath, especially on the hindwing. The ground-colour (rather light brown with a tinge of ochre 
and with some very fine grey and rosy irroration) does not vary much, the 3 named forms being differentiated 
by the markings. These are simplest in the type form, here figured. — ab. nigridisca Dogn. has the cell-spots nigridisca. 
larger and blacker, on the upperside conserving some white scales in the centre, on the underside entirely 
black. — ab. taminata Dogn. (12 e) has blackish patches in the distal area at the radials and between the 1st taminata. 
median and the hindmargin. A transition, which can be included in taminata, has these patches less extremely 
developed, the posterior one broken into a small pair at the fold and an isolated one between the median veins. 
All the forms occur together at Huancabamba and probably at Oxapa-mpa, the type locality. 
A. iners Prout (14 a) is the smallest species of the 3-spurred group yet known. Areole long, the 5th iners. 
subcostal arising before its extremity; pale cream-buff, slightly darker on the forewing costallv, the cell-dots 
black, not ocellated, that of the hindwing larger, somewhat elongate, the median shade thick on the fore-, 
faint on the hindwing. Underside with the ground-colour still paler, but with a great part of the forewing 
(proximally and costally) flushed with pink. La Oroya, Rio Inambari, only the type known. 
A. oothesia Prout. (12 c). Termen of forewing waved, of hindwing markedly crenulate, with the teeth odthesia. 
at the 1st and (especially) the 3rd radial strong. The lines not- very strong, but usually more or less thickened 
at the cost-a of the forewing; characteristic are the whitish tone and the strong double subterminal shade, 
enclosing a row' of irregular white spots; terminal line fine, but scarcely interrupted, thickening into dots bet¬ 
ween the veins; cell-mark somewhat elongate, black on the forewing, minutely pale-centred on the hindwing. 
Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, E. Peru. 
A. poliotaria Dyar. ‘'Expanse 28 mm." Pale grey with dark irroration; lines slender, denticulate, poliotaria. 
blackish, antemedian angled subcostallv, median oblique, post-median less strong, with vein-dots at the ends 
of the teeth, terminal line slender, broken by white interneural dots; cell-dots small, white, on the hindwing 
ringed with black. Tehuacan, Mexico. 
A. pomidiscata Warr. (12 c) is doubtfully distinct from imparistigma , as it seems scarcely to differ pomidiscata. 
except in the cell-spots (particularly that of the hindwing) and these are well known to be variable in the 
genus. Founded on 2 To from Santo Domingo, Carabava. 
A. imparistigma Warr. (12 c) was named from the unequal size and coloration of the cell-spots: that imparistig- 
of the forewing a cinnamon ring with pale centre, that of the hindwing larger and black. Founded on a T 
from Santo Domingo; both it and (ab. ?) pomidiscata occur also a-t La Oroya.
