A. rufistigma Warr. (13 b). A small species, with about the shape of' the two preceding. In the type, 
from Santo Domingo, the cell-rings are rather orange-cinnamon than (as described by Warren) “red", the 
lines greyish ochreous; in the commoner (?) form from La Oroya, which we figure, the markings are sharper 
and darker, the cell-rings mixed with blackish, though the lens reveals a purple-reddish element. 
A. endospila Prout (13 c) is larger and paler, the produced apex of the forewing and the tail of the 
hindwing rather more strongly developed, the cell-marks more long-oval, the median line thickened and 
blackened at the abdominal margin of the hindwing. Carabaya, from 6500 to 9000 feet. 
A. parvidens Wan. (13 c). Also similar to rufistigma, but with the tooth of the hindwing shorter, 
the tone browner (less yellowish), the cell-mark of the forewing very small, generally weak, that of the hind¬ 
wing less small, dark-ringed, occasionally blackened throughout. La Oroya and Santo Domingo. 
A. gracililinea Warr. (13 c). Considerably larger than parvidens, apex of forewing acute, termen 
strongly oblique and straightish, colour somewhat different (with faint fleshy tinge), markings a little more 
definite, cell-mark of forewing a small black point. Cushi. 
A. atrimacula Dogn. Possibly a form of the preceding, though the wings look scarcely so narrow. 
Tone somewhat more reddish (or red-grey), cell-spots larger and black, some well developed spots on the 
proximal side of the subterminal, especially a subcostal, two radial and three posterior. Founded on specimens 
from San Antonio, near Cali (Colombia) and Loja, known also from Cushi. 
B. hindtibia with 3 spurs; 1st median (at least of hindwing) arising 
close to 3rd radial. 
A. hieroglyphica Warr. (13 c). Recognizable at a glance by the intricate pattern of fuscous or blackish 
markings and apparently not variable. E. Peru, the type from Santo Domingo, Carabaya. 
A. spissata Warr. (13 c). Evidently related to the nebuligera group in sect. D, but has to be placed 
here for analytical convenience, as the hindtibia is 3-spurred. Hindwing with 3rd radial connate or even 
(very shortly) stalked. Confusingly similar to the $$ of spadix; the dc? are very easy to distinguish by the 
hindleg structure, for whereas spadix has the femur and tibia densely clothed with coarse reddish hair and the 
hindwing beneath almost as rosy as the forewing, spissata has the latter largely pale buff, though with rosy 
distal cloudings, the hindleg glabrous, through with a spreading pencil of fine, silky, light-buff hair from the 
thorax at the base of the coxa. Guianas and Para, the type from Rio Denrerara. 
A. spadix Prout (13 c). Thoracic pencil longer, stronger, distally reddish. Proximal spur of hind- 
tibia embedded in the specialized hair (its distal end, on close attention, can often be detected), the shorter 
of the terminal spurs apparently ill-developed. On an average larger than spissata, colour more reddish, at 
least in the markings apparently indistinguishable. Upper Amazons, described from Fonteboa. Arace(?) 
from Taperinha, near Santarem (Zerny coll.) unfortunately had to be returned before I had made a sufficient 
description of it. 
A. timotheus Schaus, known only in the $, is so close to bipunctata (13 d) that it may reasonably be 
conjectured that the $ structure will prove to be nearly the same. Larger, paler, more buff than reddish, the 
grey markings consequently assuming a more olivescent tone; postmedian line of forewing with an additional 
tooth at the 1st radial, which is very rarely noticeable in bipunctata ; white cell-dot of hindwing not or scarcely 
elongate. Costa Rica: Juan Vinas, Tuis and Guapilas. 
A. bipunctata Warr. (13 d). Somewhat variable in colour, warmer than timotheus and (especially) 
than the species that follow in this group; more variegated than spissata, generally smaller, with well-developed 
black subterminal spots between the radials, forewing beneath less rosy. Thoracic pencil at base of hindcoxa 
small. Santo Domingo and La Oroya, fairly numerous. 
A. zeuctospila Prout. (13 d) differs from bipunctata in its rounder wings, pale colour, less angled (at 
1st median) lines of the forewing, larger and more confluent black mark at the radials of the forewing and 
strong black circumscription of the cell-mark of the hindwing. Hindtibia of with rough projecting scaling 
from base to proximal spur. Fonteboa. — ab. (? subsp.) spuria nov. has the lines a little finer and more 
strongly expressed, the white cell-mark of the hindwing, as in bipunctata , elongate and only very narrowly 
ringed with black; costal edge of forewing more darkened. Suapure. Venezuela, a £ i n the Tring Museum. 
A. stramineata Warr., founded on a somewhat defective $, probably belongs here, though it is possible 
the d hindtibia will be found to have only 2 spurs. More densely irrorated than zeuctospila, the irroration 
somewhat greyer, producing a duller tinge; costal margin of forewing a little yellower than the rest, not at 
all darkened; median shade of forewing angled in the middle, nearly as in bipunctata, posteriorly more strongly 
curved inward; postmedian shaped more as in zeuctospila; no black blotches; cell-spots of hind wing moderate, 
white, with slender black circumscription. Paramba, W. Ecuador.
