ANISODES. By L. B. Prout.

intense. — ab. radiata Warr. Median line and oblique streak narrowed, at least as slender as in scintillans radiata. 
and no darker, if as dark; subterminal shades also somewhat weakened. Warren named this form and con¬ 
nexa simultaneously and called the species radiata; but since that name is preoccupied in Anisodes I have 
reversed them. 
A. suberea Dogn., only known from the type, a d from Loja, has the termen of the forewing rather suberea. 
more oblique than usual, its apex minutely produced, hindwing with anal angle prominent; its brown ground¬ 
colour is not so red or cinnamon as in most of the deeply coloured Anisodes, median line fairly thick, of a 
different shade of brown, other markings not very distinct, mainly punctiform. “29 mm” (say 33—34). 
A. bipartita Warr. (13 a). In shape near connexa, hindwing rather less strongly toothed. Somewhat bipartita. 
smaller; abundantly distinct in its violet-grey colour, more distally placed median shade of the forewing, etc. 
Popayan (loc. typ.) to E. Bolivia. — montana subsp. nov. Decidedly larger (length of a forewing in both montana. 
sexes 17—18 mm) and of a slightly darker grey, the hindwing beneath more whitish than the forewing. Oco- 
neque, Carabaya, 7000 feet, probably a high-altitude form. Very constant except that — one pretty aberration 
has all the markings, especially those of the distal area, much intensified, ab. maculata nov. maculata. 
A. major Dogn. (13 b). Almost exactly like aequalipunctata except in its much larger size and slightly major. 
“'more rounded” wings (termen of forewing perhaps a trifle more convex, hindwing appreciably less narrow). 
At high altitudes in Colombia (3000 to 3800 m). I was formerly inclined, like Dognin, to treat it as a high- 
altitude race (compare the preceding), but as both are well represented at Cushi, 1900 mm, without transitions, 
I now suppose it to be a species. 
A. aequalipunctata Dogn. (14 b). Not a very striking species, but fairly easy to recognize by its elon¬ 
gate wings, double median shade (or line and shade) and strongly marked underside, with the proximal shades 
of the subterminal on the forewing unusually accentuated. Loja (type) and E. Peru. latifasciata Warr. 
(13 b), though a very rare form, only known in a few specimens, was erected as a species and thus unfortun¬ 
ately becomes the name for the race of aequalipunctata which has been received in large numbers from high 
altitudes in Carabaya — Oconeque (loc. typ.), 7000 feet, and Agualani, 9000 feet. — ab. pallescens nov., which 
name I would use for the entire race if latifasciata should turn out to be a separate species, is the prevailing- 
form in the last-named localities and only differs materially from aequalipunctata in the white or whitish, in¬ 
stead of light-brown ground-colour. It should be added that the latifasciata form is also known in the brown 
race (Cushi, 1; Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, 1) besides an occasional “ab. maculata” (nom. coll.). 
A. parcisquamata Prout (13 b). Taking into account the variability of aequalipunctata, I no longer parcisqua- 
feel certain that this may not be a further aberration of it. Founded on a single d from Huancabamba, where 
that species seems especially variable, it chiefly differs in its far more weakly marked upperside, on which 
the only conspicuous markings are the intensified black cell-spots (their white pupils more nearly suppressed), 
a median mark on innermargin of hindwing and fragments of the subterminal, especially the twin spots at 
the radials. The type, from Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, is unique. 
A. rubrannulata Prout (13 b). Also close to aequalipunctata in shape, colour and markings. Abdomen 
without the dorsal spots. Cell-ring of forewing red, scarcely at all mixed with black scales, that of hindwing 
wholly black, without the white pupil; median shade not geminate, subterminal shade perhaps less irregular. 
Markings of underside rosy. San Antonio, W. Colombia, the type <$ unique. 
A. plenistigma Warr., founded on a worn d from Chiriqui, looks a good deal like a pale major (13 b), plenistigma. 
but has the cell-spots larger, especially on the hindwing, mixed black and brown, more oval (or on the hindwing 
slightly reniform), the median shade single and not broad, the postmedian less distally placed than in major. 
A. lancearia Feld. (13 b) in a measure reverts to the scheme of markings of connexa, but is longer- lancearia. 
winged, paler and with numerous differences which can be seen from the figures. Bogota (the type) to E. 
Bolivia. Generally not variable. — ab. nigrinotata Dogn. is a striking form with the cell-spots more broadly nigrinotata. 
ringed with black and with composite black subterminal spots between the radials, on the forewing also a small 
oblique one close to the apex. Singly at San Antonio (Cali), Oxapampa and Cushi. 
A. dulcicola Dogn. “Wings less rounded than in radiata (connexa), of a lighter yellow, the discal spots dulcicola. 
larger, reddish with white centre, that of the hindwing a little larger than that of the forewing. 38 mm.” A <$- 
from Paramo del Quindiu; erected as an aberration. 2 in the Tring Museum from Cushi, which may 
belong here, resemble scintillans (13 a) but have a noticeable tooth at the 3rd radial of the hindwing, the 
median line and longitudinal streak strong on both wings, the cell-spots quite distinctive. 
A. heterostigma Dogn., also founded on a single $ from the Quindiu district (3000 m), is said to be heterostigma. 
near rufistigma (13 b) but with the markings rosy violaceous on a pale fleshy-tinged ground, the cell-spots 
black, that of the hindwing (which in the larger) pupilled on the upperside with white, the median line straight, 
etc. The expanse is given as 33 mm.
