dentate.” Colombia, near Cali, Monte Socorro, at 3400 m, 2 Evidently very similar to pintada, but less 
irregular in shape, more definitely banded, the underside without the white cell-spots, which in pintada are 
there reproduced. 
A. aspera Warr., founded on a single q from Popayan, is similar to the most reddish mediolineata and 
with the same leg-structure. A little larger, slightly more crenulate-margined, the markings (except that there 
is a white cell-spot on the hindwing) less definite, the median shade more reddish, more proximal and strongly 
sinuate. 
A. mediolineata Warr. (13 i). Unmistakable from our figure and apparently not variable except in 
size and (slightly) in tone. Hindfemur of q fringed with hair. Santo Domingo, Carabaya. 
A. brevipalpis Dogn. “28 mm. Ochraceous brick-brown, sprinkled with some fine black irroration; 
vertex and antenna ochraceous. Both wings with discal dot minute, black and white; an indefinite linear 
median shade; a subterminal series of black vein-dots; a terminal interneural series; fringe lighter. Underside 
similar, but the median line more distinct.” 3 $<$ from Bogota, 2800—3200 m. 
A. khakiata Warr. (14 b). Quite distinct from all the rest of its group in the lack of red or ochre colour¬ 
ing (except slightly on the underside), the strong pale lines, very finely pale veins and elongate cell-marks. 
Hindleg of S' simple. E. and S. E. Peru, the typical series from Cushi. 
D. h i n d t i b i a with 2 spurs; 1st median of hindwing arising close to 3rd 
radial. 
A. albidiscata Warr. Superficially very like khakiata, but with the 1st median of the hindwing almost 
connate. Apex of forewing not quite so acute, its cell-mark longer, more surrounded with black; both wings 
more reddish, with the lines more widely sundered, the postmedian more excurved. The type 2, from Costa 
Rica, is unfortunately in very poor condition and does not show the markings of the distal area nor the course 
of the antemedian of the hindwing at the inner margin. — fulgurata Warr. may be a race, but is very 
likely a synonym. It was based on the curious V-shaped or Y-shaped white markings of the distal area; 
the antemedian of the hindwing, unlike that of khakiata, is sharply angled at the fold. Distributed in E. Peru, 
but scarce. 
A. flavistigma Warr. Another unique type in poor condition, a <$ from Sapucay, Paraguay. Expanse 
25 mm. Its falcate apex, angled hindwing and olive-buff filling-in of the fuscous cell-rings suggest a small 
mimic of Semaeopus viridipunctata, though the terrnen of the forewing is straight, not convex, and the central 
tooth of the hindwing less acute. Position and punctuation of ante- and postmedian lines somewhat as in 
viridipunctata. 
A. ocularis Warr. (14 b). Larger, broader-winged, apex of forewing not produced; cell-spots larger, 
composite, pale-pupilled and scarcely tinged with buff; a rather large costal mark near apex, tinged with rufous. 
Venezuela (type) and French Guiana. — suffusaria ( Schaus , M. S.) subsp. nov. is larger than typical ocularis 
(38— 40 mm), more suffused, the cell-spots larger, more produced distally, olive-yellow, the postmedian and 
subterminal of the forewing near the costa and between the radials blotched with the same olive-yellow. Castro 
(type $) and Sao Paulo ($), both from the Dukinfield Jones collection, now in the British Museum. 
A. costinotata Warr. (14 b), named from the very characteristic costal marks at the origin of the lines 
of the forewing, is generally recognizable by that alone, although they are not always so sharply developed 
as in the type form. Hindleg of the smooth. Palpus strongly elongate. Honduras to Bolivia, the type from 
Popayan. 
A. marginepunctata Dogn., from Loja, may be a dwarf form of costinotata, with a forewing length of 
11 mm as against 15—16; but M. Dognin (in litt.) informed me that the 2nd joint of the palpus does not reach 
beyond the head, while in costinotata it reaches definitely beyond. 
A. posticipuncta sp. n. (14 g). At first sight suggestive, apart from its definitely narrower wings, of the 
pale forms of urcearia Guen. (14 c). Structure similar, hindleg without tufts. Costal margin of forewing slightly 
greyer shaded than the rest of the wing, cell-spot not annular, median shade less angular than in urcearia, 
postmedian dot on 1st radial still more out of alignment with the adjacent vein-dots. Hindwing with a charac¬ 
teristic darkening of the antemedian dot at abdominal margin. Codajas (Upper Amazon), Ecuador, Peru and 
Bolivia, the type <$ in the Tring Museum, from Oconeque, Carabaya, 7000 feet. 
A. illinaria Guen., founded on a $ from “Brazil”, is said to be near urcearia (14 c), but with the wings 
more dentate, the forewing more elongate, the hindwing truncate “below” (? behind), by no means prolonged
