3rd joint long. Forewing with termen slightly more curved than in lateritiaria (perhaps as in psilomera), termen 
of hindwing with the teeth somevdiat more noticeable (but not as strong as in dognini and raspata). Body 
and wings lack the red tint of the 3 preceding species; abdomen without black dorsal spots. Forewing with 
the white cell-dot only very slenderly ringed with black or grey; markings placed about as in lateritiaria but 
weak, especially the subterminal spots. Hindwing with the cell-spot generally as large as in lateritiaria, simi¬ 
larly black, with minute wdrite pupil; in a ^-ab. from Rio the pupil is a little larger, the black ring reduced 
so as to leave space for an outer ring of white, slightly irrorated with black. Paraguay: Sapucay (type in 
Mus. Tring); Brazil. Rio district to Santa Catharina; ? Montevideo, a $ with termen of hindwing somewhat 
less dentate, its cell-spot somewhat less large. — gaudebunda subsp. nov., from E. Peru, is brighter ochreous, 
generally with somewhat stronger irroration and on an average somewhat smaller. Type $ from Agualani. 
Carabaya, 9500 feet, in the Tring Museum; reaches as far northward as Oxapampa, I think even to Upper 
Rio Negro, Colombia (1 $). 
A. dognini Prout (= ruficeps Dogn., nee Wan.). “34 mm.” Ochraceous fleshy grey, the irroration 
and markings testaceous, as also the costal margin of the forewdng; markings much as in the preceding, but 
with the cell-mark of the hindwing in the type (and ip a worn Cuslb before me) composite: white in the 
centre, finely and weakly dark-ringed, the ring again surrounded by a pale circle and this finely by a black 
one. Termen of forewing somewhat more oblicpie than in ptochopoea , hindwing as strongly dentate as in ras¬ 
pata. Monte Tolirna, described as a possible aberration of magnidiscata Warr. Hindleg glabrous. 
A. raspata Dogn. (13 e), if I have it correctly determined, is a somewhat longer-wingecl and duller co¬ 
loured species, with the median line of the forewing further from the cell-mark, the cell-mark of the hindwing 
composite, either white or grey. Described from Ecuador; the figured form is from Agualani, S. E. Peru. 
A. seposita Prout (13 f). Variable in size and in the cell-mark of the hindwing, which is typically 
moderate, black, generally with (very small) white pupil. Colour reddish, nearly as in lateritiaria or somewhat 
more inclining to brown. Vertex of head and shaft of antenna (in contradistinction to the preceding 6 species) 
white; abdomen dorsally in both sexes becoming suddenly whitish or very pale in its posterior part (nearly 
one-half). Hindleg of £ simple. — ab. diseata nov. Cell-mark of hindwing large (as in ruficeps , or occasionally 
even larger in proportion), composite, white, finely black-ringed. Colombia to Bolivia, the types of both forms 
from Cushi, E. Peru. 
A. dicycla sp. n. (13 f). Much smaller than seposita (28— 32 mm), termen of forewing not, of hindwing 
only very feebly crenulate. Colour appreciably different, having somewhat more orange or cinnamon in its 
composition; abdomen dorsally reddish almost throughout; face in upper part bright red (in seposita brownish). 
Apparently scarcely at all variable, the cell-mark in all the known examples white, enclosing and enclosed 
by dark rings. Carabaya: Santo Domingo, Tinguri and La Oroya, good series collected by G. Ockenden. 
Type in the Tring Museum, from Tinguri. 
A. globaria Guen. (= metaspilata Walk.) (14 a) was described primarily from the $, here figured, and 
the allotype which was said to be “similar, but having on the underside a rosy, interrupted subterminal 
line and a cell-dot, the latter hardly noticeable on the forewing, which has a rosy suffusion”'. We therefore 
have not the structural clues afforded by that sex. Both the originals came from “Colombia”, the type of 
metaspilata, also a $ and apparently an excellent match, from Venezuela, but the species (or form) awaits re¬ 
discovery. It differs from seposita in the abdomen, from ptochopoea in the reddish colour and white vertex, 
from both in the weakly marked underside and perhaps less crenulate hindwing. 
A. ordinata Walk. (= complectaria Moschl.) (13 f) agiees approximately with flavidiscata in size, shape, 
formation of the very weak lines and postmedian vein-dots, and in the structure of the palpus; and may well 
represent it on Jamaica. In both, the hindtibia of the £ is smooth-scaled, the femur shortly fringed and the 
vertex and antennal shaft are not, or scarcely, paler than the body and wings. The ground-colour of ordinata 
is a little less suffused with grey and the cell-marks are nearly always small, grey (on forewing) or black (on 
hindwing), both with minute white pupil. — ab. congruaria Walk, has the ocellus of the hindwing reduced 
to a “small black dot”. — ab. (?) albipupillata Warr. has the colour and general aspect of ordinata, the cell- 
spot of the forewing almost as large as in flavidiscata but not black-ringed, that of the hindwing similar but 
black-ringed, about the size of the inner circle in flavidiscata. The unique type, a <$, is only labelled “S. America” 
and, though it is believed to come from Jamaica, may possibly represent a subspecies from some other locality. 
If the “ sypharia Guen." of Herrich-Schaeffer and Gundlach is the present species, it occurs also on Cuba. 
A. flavidiscata Warr. (13f). Easily known by its conspicuous white, black-tinged cell-spots, that of 
the hindwing containing an inner circle (or semicircle); also by its crenulate margins and rather broad fore¬ 
wing. The type is labelled “Huatuxo, Vera Cruz”, but Dr. Jordan informs me that some of the butterflies 
received with that labelling belonged to Sao Paulo; as I have not seen others from Mexico this may be the 
case here, but it seems to be a widely distributed species. — Costa Rica, Peru, Petropolis.
