ANISODES. By L. B. Prout. 
103 
A. calama Prout (14 b). Irroration partly red-brown, partly blackish; median shade thicker and more calama. 
zigzag than in the preceding members of the group, at least as far from cell-mark as from postmedian; cell- 
mark of hindwing moderate, somewhat elongate, white with black circumscription. Underside of forewing 
with the markings outside the cell-spot strong, dark greyish vinaceous; of hindwing unmarked except at distal 
margin. Calama, Rio Madeira, only the type known. 
A. dlfficilis Prout is larger (28—30 mm), the subterminal area of the hindwing almost as strongly difficUi. s-. 
marked as that of the forewing, its antemedian line perhaps better developed. Otherwise I can find no distinc¬ 
tion except a structural one: hindleg of $ with the distal half of the femur and proximal half of the tibia 
fringed with long coarse hair-scales. Upper Amazon and Rio Chuchurras (Palcaza, E. Peru). 
A. subviolescems Wair. (13 d). Somewhat similar to zeuctospila ab. spuria; forewing less rounded at subvioles- 
apex (distal margin anteriorly more oblique), only the extreme costal edge darkened, the subterminal dark 
spot between the radials weaker, additional spots posteriorly (almost as well developed); rosy cloudings on 
the underside more strongly developed, especially in the distal area and on the hindwing; moreover the ground¬ 
colour is slightly more fleshy-tinged. French Guiana (type) and the Upper Amazons. 
C. (J hindtibia with 2 spurs; 1st median vein of hindwing remote. 
A. warreni Dogn. (14 b). Distinguishable by its large size, the partial rosy suffusion on the pale ground warreni. 
and the punctiform markings, which latter cause Uogxin to liken it to an overgrown fastidiosa; its lacks, 
however, the proximal spur of the hindtibia, its postmedian series of dots is more remote from the cell-dot, 
etc. In the example before me, the cell-dot is present on both wings, though very small. Monte Tolima (type) 
and Upper Rio Negro, Colombia. 
A. prunelliaria H.-Sch. (13 d). Variable in size (moderate to large) but fairly constant in the pattern prunelliaria 
of copious spots and dots on a light, but generally bright, ground-colour and in the formation of the cell-spots; 
rosy admixture generally conspicuous at least at the base and on the median shade. Abdomen pale, black- 
dotted dorsally on the anterior segments only. Venezuela (type) and distributed from Costa Rica to Bolivia. 
A. viator Prout (13 d). Smaller, more orange-coloured, forewing slightly elongate anteriorly, median viator. 
shade stronger, more angular, dorsal dots of abdomen weak. Columbia to Bolivia, the type series from Carabaya. 
A. stricticata Warr. Again smaller (27 mm), less bright, said to recall nigropustulata except in colour, stricticata. 
Both wings crenulate, slightly projecting at 3rd radial. Greyish fawn, with a faint reddish tinge in parts; 
first 3 lines punctiform, the antemedian with additional dots on the folds, costa and hindmargin, the median 
accompanied by a faint reddish shade; subterminal and terminal spots much as in psilomera (13 e); cell-dots 
white, that of forewing in a small red ring, that of hindwing with rather larger encirclement, mixed black and 
red. Underside rosy, with hindwing paler. Abdomen on first two segments with black marks. Orizaba, 1 
A. temperata sp. n. (13 d). Hitherto misidentified as stricticata. 30 mm. More orange-reddish (nearest temperata. 
“sayal-brown” of Ridgway). Abdomen not spotted. Markings much weaker, with no red element, the sub¬ 
terminals quite small and inconspicuous, the median not punctiform, but with slight dashes on the veins; cell¬ 
ring of hindwing little enlarged; underside scarcely rosy. Hindleg not tufted. Palpus with 3rd joint moderately 
long. San Antonio, W. Colombia, 2 JcT hr m y collection. 
A. lateritiaria H.-Sch. (13 e). There is some difficulty in deciding which of several closely similar forms lateritiaria. 
is the true lateritiaria or how many of them belong to it. It was a £ from Venezuela and his figure was 
formerly mistaken by Warren for a Serna,eopus (perhaps a form of caecaria Hbn.) and made the type of a 
genus Heterephyra; it is certain, however, that it represents one of the group now to be considered. The species 
which we figure, though I have not yet seen it from Venezuela, seems to meet the requirements accurately. 
The <$ has the hindfemur throughout fringed with long pale hair. Panama to Bolivia. 
A. psilomera sp. n. (13 e) looks closely like a much smaller, slightly less reddish lateritiaria, but has psilomera. 
the hindfemur smoothly scaled; some of the black markings are stronger, notably an additional black ante- 
median dot in the cell of the forewing (considerably more distal than the 3 normal vein-dots). Abdomen with 
black dorsal dots on the first 2 or 3 segments. S. E. Peru, the type from Agualani, 9000 feet, in the Tring 
Museum. 
A. violens sp. n. (13 e). At least as large as lateritiaria, the $ larger (47 mm); colour as reddish, or even violens. 
redder. Black markings, including the abdominal spots, as strong as in psilomera , the postmedian dots some¬ 
times connected by a weak line. 3rd joint of palpus shorter than in lateritiaria, somewhat deflexed. Fore- 
wing of (J slightly narrower than in either of the allies; hindfemur fringed, especially in its distal part. S. E. 
Peru: La Oroya (loc. typ.) and Agualani; type in the Tring Museum. 
A. ptochopoea sp. n. (13 e). An inconspicuous species which, as far as I can make out, has hitherto ptochopoca. 
escaped detection. Expanse 33—39 mm. Hindleg without tufts or fringes of hair. Palpus in both sexes with
