110 ANISODES. By L. B. Prout. 
A. inquinata Dogn. (14d). Ground-colour pale straw-yellow, with little irroration, the irregular mark¬ 
ings greyish vinaceous; in the position and form of the large blotch sufficiently near centrata to suggest a 
(remote) possibility that it might represent another extreme development of urcearia or diffusa. Maroni River. 
I have seen a similar form, 1 <$ in poor condition, from Minas Geraes. 
A. fantomaria Schaus. “22 mm.” Buff, irrorated with black scales, especially from the base to the 
median shade; cell-dots minute, encircled with black; the grey median shade and fine black postmedian line 
waved; a subterminal row of large black interneural spots; antemedian (on fore wing only) nearly straight. 
Aroa, Venezuela. Unknown to me. 
A. renifera Prout. Much like renistigma but with the forewing not quite so broad, the hindtibia rough- 
scaled in proximal part only. Colour slightly paler, costal margin of forewing a little greyer, markings in part 
more mixed with black; median line of forewing posteriorly and of hindwing more lunulate. Guianas. A $ 
from La Chorrera, Panama, has the cell-spot of the hindwing nearly filled with black; probably an individual 
rather than a racial difference, though Dyars Panama “ dispergaria" (see above) may possibly belong here 
and confirm it. 
A. renistigma Prout (14 cl). Somewhat more robust and broader-winged than urcearia, the $ hindtibia 
roughly clothed throughout its length, the palpus more elongate. Cell-spots larger, that of the hindwing with 
a deep indentation on its proximal side, the pale enclosed area grey rather than white; median shade somewhat 
reddish, accompanied proximally by a well-defined line which touches the cell-spot. Chanchamayo, 2 <$<$. 
A slightly weaker-marked $ from Corcovado, Rio, 800 feet (E. D. Jones) has the “reniform” cell-spot filled 
with white. 
A. nigropustulata Warr. (14 d). More or less ochreous, thus in a measure intermediate in colour between 
the pale urcearia and the reddish diffusa. Easily known by the strength of the black subterminal markings; 
cell-spots also predominantly black. Venezuela to French Guiana, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil, the type from 
Tijuco, Brazil. 
A. japaria E. D. Jones (14 d). Unfortunately the type, from Castro, Parana, and the only topotypical 
specimen yet known to me are both $$ and present little that is distinctive. The 2nd radial of the forewing 
arises at about 2 / 5 of the discocellulars, thus not quite so far forward as in ruficosta, but the known liability, 
in some of the group, to small variations in this character precludes our depending on this distinction. The 
type is large, with the costa of the forewing reddish and a very little subcostal black maculation in proximal 
part and with a maroon-coloured spot on the antenna near its base; but the second specimen lacks this spot, 
has the normal size of the group and has a slightly less dark costa, bounded by vinaceous grey along the sub¬ 
costal. so that even at Castro there may be two closely related species. According to the Jj characters there 
must in any case be two in the Neotropical fauna as a whole, but the available ES are very few and in part 
defective. The of the widely distributed species which I provisionally regard as japaria has the 3rd joint 
of the palpus less long than in ruficosta and a red tuft on the hindfemur; the discocellulars are approximately 
as noted above, but vary a little in the ruficosta direction; the darkened costa varies between reddish and 
greyish. The range seems to extend from Colombia, Venezuela and the Guianas to parts of Brazil and to in¬ 
clude also Bolivia. A Nicaragua with similar palpus but with glabrous hindfemur, and whatever $$ belong 
to it (perhaps, by general aspect, N. Venezuela and W. Ecuador) await further elucidation. 
A. ruficosta Warr. (14e). On an average smaller, the terminal joint of the $ palpus long and slender 
(very unfortunately lost in the type from Bartica, but I do not doubt the determination of other Guiana 
material), the femoral tuft partly red but less strongly so than in the preceding; fore wing with the 2nd radial 
arising at % of the discocellulars or scarcely %; tone somewhat more reddish than in japaria , the costal area 
broadly reddish but not very sharply differentiated. Guatemala, Panama and the Guianas. The abdomen 
shows slight indications of a pale dorsal ridge, which may point to a connection with the caducaria group. 
A. ochricomata Warr. (14e), a unique from Onaca, Santa Marta (N. Colombia), has the 3rd joint 
of the palpus very long, the hindfemur tufted, the hindtibia short, tufted, with the spurs short. By no means 
a conspicuous species, but should be readily recognizable on its rediscovery. 
A. leucaniata Warr. (14 e). Larger than most of the group, pale and very weakly marked. Warren 
says, on the $ type from Rockstone. British Guiana, that its “resemblance to Leucania will distinguish it at 
once. Forewing with apex pointed; hindwing slightly elbowed at vein 4." We figure a Trinidad $ determined 
by its author. 
A. monera Schaus (14 e). Terminal joint of palpus moderate in the <$, long in the $; hindleg of 
smooth, the tibia, however, in the specimen examined, perhaps somewhat abraded. I am inclined to regard it
