PARATYRIA; CYLLOPODA. By L. B. Prout.

and Honduras, Boisduval's, according to Drttce, from Mexico. The addition of “Bogota” in the notoriously 
inaccurate “Lep. Guatemala” is no doubt erroneous. 
M. marginata Dogn. (= alcidamea part .Druce, err. det.) (17 b). $ abdomen less extremely elongate marginata. 
than in the following, forewing less narrow, distal border much narrower, posterior border rather broader, 
sinuous. Panama. 
M. ochra Druce (= longicorpus Warr.) (17 c). Here the characteristic shape of <$ Micropos reaches its ochra. 
highest development. Black posterior border of fore wing narrow, tapering gradually to a point at base, its 
proximal half somewhat marked with yellow. Venezuela. 
M. longalis Hbn. (17 b). Apart from the less extreme shape, this is distinguishable from ochra by the longalis. 
absence of the black posterior borders. The typical form, from “Brazil” (presumably Para or Bahia) had the 
black borders moderately broad and is the prevailing form in the Guianas and about Para. — ab. (?) latifasciata latifasciata. 
Warr. has the borders broader at least on the underside, but I am not sure that it needs a separate designation 
as it seems to be chiefly a very frecpient $-form in the same localities as typical longalis. It should be added 
that also occasionally (though only rarely) show this broadening of the hindwing border on the under¬ 
side. — angusta Warr. (17 b), from Colombia, has the black borders definitely narrower. Best known from angusta. 
Bogota and its vicinity. 
M. elegans Druce (17 b). Black border of hindwing about as in longalis angusta , that of the forewing elegans. 
much narrower than in that species, especially in the apical part. Pretty constant in N. W. Venezuela, E. 
Ecuador and E. Peru, but a from Rio Pastaza is intermediate, suggesting that it may be a further race of 
longalis. In any case it will probably sink to simplex. 
M. simplex Feld. (16 k), founded on a $ (not as published), can scarcely be an aberration of longalis simplex, 
angusta, the usual Micropos of the district (Bogota) but is extremely close to some $$ of elegans; I can see no 
difference, except that the apical border of the forewing is very slightly narrower, and should have no hesi¬ 
tation in merging the two names but that the Felder collection contains 2Gc? labelled “Lindig” (probably from 
the same locality as the type) in which the narrowing of the border has proceeded appreciably further and 
the boundary between the two colours appears somewhat more oblique outward between the 2nd subcostal 
and the 2nd radial, the curve or bend more abrupt about the latter point. There may, therefore, be two separate 
races involved; further material from Bogota will repay study. 
M. eucyrta sp. n. (17 b). Smaller than C. angusta, elegans and simplex, expanding 34 to 39 mm, colour eucyrta. 
more orange. Further distinguishable chiefly bv the much more convex or vaulted distal boundary of the 
ground-colour, especially on the forewing, where a straight line drawn from subcostal to 2nd submedian at 
the junction of the two colours would cut off a half-circle or a still longer section. On the underside this is a 
little less noticeable, as the black border there narrows a little more at the hindmargin or tornus. Peruvian 
Amazons (De Mathan, via the Oberthur collection), a series of 17 good $$ in the British Museum, some of 
them labelled Chachapoyas, Dept. Amazonas, and doubtless all collected in the same district, as they are very 
homogenous. 
21. Genus: Paratyria Warr. 
Erected by Warren, with darna Schaus as genotype and sole species, merely on the one character 
of “antennae simple in both sexes”. Actually the $ has very short, the $ still shorter, even ciliation. It should 
be added that the hindtibia is slender, in the d with a long pencil of hair from its base (apparently liable to 
abrasion unless there are two species mixed, of which there is no other evidence) and with a pair of vestigial, 
closely approximated, terminal spurs; in the $ 3-spurred, as in Micropos. Areole very ample, undivided. 
P. darna Schaus (17 c). A small and rather slender species, sufficiently characterized by its structure, dama. 
Nova, Friburgo (loc. typ.) and Minas Geraes. — paranensis subsp. nov. Slightly more orange yellow, the tegulae paranensis. 
not marked with yellow, the anal end of the $ abdomen not white beneath; wings with black borders broadened, 
notably the hindwing. Castro, Parana, 3 $<$, 5 type in the Tring Museum. The uncus is somewhat broader 
than in d. darna but (without dissection) no other difference lias been found in the genitalia. The $ venter is 
black throughout but this may be the case also in the name-typical §, which I have not seen. 
22. Genus: CyllopoclaZtaZm. 
Palpus typically rather long, in some species more moderate. Antenna in the <$ with moderate pec¬ 
tinations. Hindtibia of $ spurless or with vestigial spurs, more or less modified, with hair-pencil; of $ with 
terminal spurs only. Forewing with cell well over %, areole double, the proximal one often small, 2nd subcostal 
arising from cell. Hindwing with 2nd subcostal stalked. Genotype: claudicula Dalm.
