ANISODES. By L. B. Prout.

as a form, somewhat less pale, of the variable subpallida Warr. Orizaba, Mexico; similar forms are known 
from Jalap a and from Venezuela and perhaps Colombia. 
A. aguzata Dogn., founded on a from Loja, with which was afterwards associated a somewhat more aguzata. 
yellowish $ from Papayan, looks as if it might also be a form of sub pallida,, similar to ab. grisea but somewhat 
more red-ochreous (<J) or yellow-ochreous ($). Dogxin compares it with “ confirmaria■ Walk.” (unfortunately 
a manuscript name, but believed to be the same as sypharia Guen.), than which it lias somewhat smaller 
palpus; the hindwing “looks exactly the same in both species, but the cell-spot of the forewing in aguzata is 
like that of the hindwing, namely a minute white dot broadly encircled with black”. Areole small. 
A. subpallida Warr. (14 e). Somewhat longer-winged than urcearia, particularly as regards the fore- subpallida. 
wing; markings typically weaker, the characteristic subterminal spots of urcearia not developed. Hindleg of 
the (J smooth or nearly so. A common S. Brazilian species and apparently distributed in widely remote parts 
of the Neotropical Region — Mexico, E. Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay. Some forms which pass 
as monera (see above) are so similar to it that a possibility suggests itself that we may have to de with two 
races of one very variable species, the more tropical series warmer-tinted (inclining to reddish), the more tem¬ 
perate (southern) greyer. The following summary of the named forms will bring out this parallelism. — ab. 
grisea Warr., described from Sao Paulo, has black, minutely pale-pupilled cell-spots. — ab. (?) potreria Warr. grisea. 
(14 f), described from Mexico, is like grisea but more warmly coloured (“reddish fawn"). — ab. tetiera Warr. 
(= umbrinaria Schaus, M. S.) has the median area of both wings darkened, giving it a conspicuously banded 
appearance. Corcovado to Sao Paulo, not yet known from the northern localities. — ab. stollaria Schaus ( 14 f ), from s tollaria. 
Mexico, is a strikingly heavily-marked form, with about the same tone as monera and potreria. — ab. figurata figurata. 
Warr. (14 e), from Castro, is almost identical with stollaria , even approaching its warmer tone. 
A. vuha Schaus, only known to me from the figure and description, “bears a strong superficial resem- vuha. 
blance to some of the species ef Semaeopus”. Cream buff, with the lines fuscous, the space from antemedian 
to beyond cell and from subcostal to vein 1 suffused with mikado-brown and fuscous. “25 mm.” Type a $ 
from Santa Catharina, S. Brazil. Evidently closely analogous to subpallida ab. tenera, but differently coloured 
and with the postmedian line more proximally placed. 
A. nudaria Guen. (14 f). Somewhat similar to sypharia but with the hindleg not tufted. Areole small, nudaria. 
The type <$, with the indefinite locality “Brazil", is not in very fresh condition and has not yet been matched, 
but was evidently never a strongly marked form. It may possibly be a larger, redder relative of subpallida; 
with the postmedian dots better connected (by a greyish shade) and some other differences. Terminal joint of 
palpus rather short for an Anisodzs. 
A. terrens Warr., a $ from Jalapa, Mexico, expanding 26 mm, is said to be “near subcarnearia and, lerrens. 
judging from the description, also to aguzata Dogn”. Dull reddish grey, the costa of the forewing darker grey 
without the reddish tinge; the two lines marked by black dots; terminal dots large and black; cell-spot of 
forewing with a black rim. of hindwing large, coal-black, with a minute pale pupil. Underside uniform dull 
rosy, the outer series of dots visible. 
A. caducaria Mdschl., founded on a $, has the palpus and its terminal joint, long, the areole small, the caducaria. 
hindwing with abdominal margin somewhat elongate and is certainly better placed in Anisodzs than in either 
Pleuroprucha or Cosymbia; yet in shape and facies (except for the white, dark-ringed cell-spot of the hind¬ 
wing) it somewhat suggests a rather large Pleuroprucha, while in essential structure it is probably close to 
“Cosymbia” myrtaria, which presumably onglit to have been transferred here (see above). Length of a fore¬ 
wing 8 mm; still redder than Moschler's other Jamaican Anisodes (see ordinata Walk.), only about half the 
size, with dots instead of the first line, the underside not lighter, the cell-spots there wanting. 
A. inhibita sp. n. (14 g). Palpus long. Hindleg not tufted. Vertex and antenna scarcely paler than inhibita. 
the rest of the colouring. Abdomen with a pale dorsal line. General aspect of nudaria , of which the type has 
lost its abdomen. Palpus longer; pectinations somewhat longer; cell of hindwing thicker; postmedian rather 
more distally placed. Underside well marked; hindwing rather paler and more yellowish than fore wing; cell- 
spots black; postmedian line wavy, grey; subterminal shades, or one at least, indicated though weak. Rio Verde, 
Rio Pastaza, E. Ecuador 5000 feet (M. G. Palmer), type <$ in the British Museum. Also known from San 
Antonio (W. Colombia) and La Oroya (S. E. Peru). 
A. subcarnearia Warr. (14 f). A widely distributed species from Central America to Peru and in Brazil, subcamea- 
the type from Sao Paulo. I strongly suspect it will have to sink to caducaria , but await more confirmatory 
material from Jamaica. Lake that species it was founded on a 9, and the determination is not quite certain. 
Palpus of A moderate, of $ long; with a femoro-tibial tuft as in myrtaria, or perhaps less red, and with white
