106 ANISODES. By L. B. Prout. 
of upperside otherwise very uniform. Characteristic are the tone of colour and the exceptionally small (though 
still white-pupilled) cell-spot of the hindwing. Costa Rica. 
A. subaenescens Warr. (13 g). Palpus of S with 3rd joint less extreme than in many Anisodes, hind- 
femur and tibia very heavily fringed and tufted. The type form, with its bright orange and red shades largely 
obscured by dark-grey suffusions, the veins notably dark-grey, is by no means the commonest and the colour 
varies to almost clear orange with rufous irroration; costal edge of forewing narrowly darkened. The white 
cell-dots seldom vary, but a very few specimens have them enlarged, notably on the hindwing, where the dia¬ 
meter approaches 1 mm. E. Peru, especially Carabaya, up to 6000 feet. — f. anicma nov. (13 h), with similar 
shape and structure, is larger (36—37 mm), of a duller colour (with no trace of orange admixture), the blackish 
shading round the cell-dots at times stronger. Oconeque, Carabaya, 7000 feet, 6 AS, ? in the Tring Museum. 
A. acampes sp. n. (13 h). Darker, yet with the fillet between the antennae pale buff, the A tibial tufts 
wanting, the femur only weakly fringed, the median shade much less bent. I can find no other constant dif¬ 
ference, yet these speak for a separate species. Carabaya: Oconeque, type A and another; Limbani, 9500 feet, 
1 all in the Tring Museum. 
A. dilogia sp. n. (13 h). In shape and structure close to acampes, hindfemur with still less hair, 3rd 
joint of palpus a trifle longer. Colour as in the brightest and most variegated subaenescens, vertex and antenna 
brighter buff. Cell-spot of hindwing larger; median shade touching or crossing the cell-mark; postmedian line 
firmer, on the forewing straighter (very noticeable on the underside anteriorly). E. Peru: Cushi, 2 SS> inclu¬ 
ding the type; Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, 2 AS', all in the Tring Museum. 
A. granillosa Dogn. (13 h). The species which we figure (on a A from Santo Domingo, Carabaya) has, 
I understand, been compared by Warren with Dognin's type, but does not agree very perfectly with the 
description. Its hindfemur is fringed and there is a moderately strong tuft (not reddened) from the base of 
the tibia. The small but distinct white cell-dots are slenderly edged by a mixture of red and black scales, the 
median shade is strong and dentate, the distal area clouded so as to leave some conspicuous pale subterminal 
spots. Beneath, the hindwing is much paler than the forewing (almost whitish), but both show the white cell- 
dot, strong median shade and punctiform postmedian. Loja (loc. typ.) and Peru. 
A. aurantiata Warr. (13 h). Quite the brightest orange species of the group. Smaller than dilogia, 
median shade similarly placed, the sinuous series of postmedian dots fairly strong, not connected by any dark 
line, some dark shading proximally to the subterminal well developed, at least between the radials. Cel I-marks 
typically about as in subaenescens, from the brightest forms of which it can be distinguished by the absence 
of blackish costal edge of forewing. Hindleg of A with long curled hair on the femur and a pencil reaching to 
about the middle of the tibia. E. Peru, the type from Santo Domingo. — ab. atridiscata Warr. lias the cell-ring 
on both wings widened and intensified. Together with the type and perhaps almost equally common. — pur¬ 
gata subsp. nov. is less irrorated and mottled, at least beneath, particularly in the distal area (both have strong, 
rosy suffusion along the cell of the forewing beneath); the proximal subterminal shading, if present at all, is 
closer to the postmedian than in the type form and the postmedian itself is inclined to throw out sharper teeth 
at the 3rd radial and 1st median. Costa Rica: Orosi, type $ in my collection. A rather smaller §, from Irazu, 
of the atridiscata form, was misidentified by Druce as “ roseigera” (see Semaepus); this form has been received 
also from Chiriqui. 
A. ignea Warr. (13 h). Larger and more reddish tinged than aurantiata and with the median shade of the 
forewing much more curved, so that its anterior part passes almost midway between cell-spot and postmedian. 
The tibial pencil in the type A (from Oconeque) is shorter, but may be damaged: in Cushi AS if is about as 
in aurantiata and it is not inconceivable that we have to do with local modifications of a single species. — ab. 
atridiscata nov. corresponds to the like-named aberration of aurantiata ; I have before me one from Oconeque 
and one from Cushi. 
A. tychicus Schaus, founded on a $ from Juan Vinas (Costa Rica), evidently belongs about here. Ex¬ 
panse 33 mm. Reddish orange, with redder striation, the vertex and on the forewing the costal and hind 
margins darkened, both wings with longitudinal dark shading at 3rd radial to 1st median, hindwing also dark- 
shaded at 2nd subcostal and 1st radial; cell-spots white, that of the hindwing large; lines fairly broad, dark 
reddish. 
A. flavicornis Warr. “Closely allied to ferruginata and subaenescens , possibly an extreme form of this 
last species, as both come from the same locality. Instead of the small white dot, the cell-marks are large and 
round, pure white, that in the hindwing twice as large as that in the forewing; the vertex and antennal shaft 
are bright yellow. In all other respects the description of subaenescens applies to the present species. Expanse 
40 mm. Carabaya, southeastern Peru; 1 A-” There are two smaller species, hitherto determined as jlavicornis,
