S. juruana Bull. (= virginea Warr., inquinatula Warr.) (16 c) is another well characterized species, the juruana. 
blotch (apparently pretty constant) behind the 3rd radial, black-mixed; hindwing relatively strongly marked. 
Hindtibia of the S scarcely dilated, tarsus not greatly shortened. Distributed from the Guianas to E. Peru 
and E. Bolivia, Butler's type from Rio Jurua, Amazons, virginea from Surinam, inquinatula from E. Peru. 
S. oliveta Prout (16 e). Another very distinct species; the black cell-dots and terminal marks present, oliveta. 
the usual lines wanting, the blotches light olive-green. Antennal ciliation of the, S longer than diameter of 
shaft, hindtarsus about as long as tibia. Minas Geraes and Espiritu Santo, few specimens yet known. 
S. umbilicata F. (= indoctaria Walk., nigroapicata Th.-Mieg) (16 e). Recalls the pulchellata F . of the umbilicata. 
Old World (see Vol. 16, p. 69, pi. 7 c) in the fine, sinuous postmedian line of the forewing and the presence of 
a dark dot close to the apex; the dot is here generally black rather than grey, hence very conspicuous. The 
ornamental postmedian blotches of pulchellata are wanting. Described from the West Indies, this common 
species spreads from the southern United States to Brazil. — ab. cugia Schaus is a form with two blotches outside cugia. 
the postmedian which increase the general similarity to umbilicata. Described from Orizaba, occasional in 
several localities. peruviana Prout. Ground-colour darker, decidedly tinged with greyish fawn, the lines peruviana. 
less firm, the postmedian showing a tendency to thicken at the two distal curves, the terminal line more broken 
into dots or well-separated dashes. W. Peru; near Lima (the typical series) and Callao. 
S. crenatilinea Warr. (16 e). Very near umbilicata, generally larger, but differing chiefly in the more crenatilinea. 
crenulate postmedian. Described from Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco; known also from Bolivia, Matin Grosso 
and perhaps Paraguay. 
S. convej-gens Warr. (16 e) is another close relative of umbilicata, slightly more elongate -winged and convergens. 
with the postmedian line straighter and more oblique. Onaca, Santa Marta (N. Colombia) and N. W. Venezuela. 
S. irrubescens Prout. (= irrufata Warr., nom. praeocc., compensata part. Druce, nec Walk.). Very irrubescens. 
similar to some forms of subnictata, the dots on the postmedian quite weak; the S antennal ciliation very long 
(definitely longer than in subnictata), hindtarsus perhaps a trifle shorter (about 2 :j ). Jalapa, the type S with 
a “pinkish flush”, the lines darker pinkish. If correctly delimited, it occurs in Central America and Colombia. 
- ab. maculata nov. (16 f), apparently only developing fully in $$, has composite dark spots accompanying maculata. 
the postmedian of the forewing. Jalapa, Orizaba, etc. 
S. thrasia sp. n. Face black. Antennal ciliation of S long, probably at least twice diameter of shaft; thrasia. 
hindtarsus about % tibia. General coloration about as in the following species, wings more regularly shaped 
(about as in subnictata)-, brown markings weaker, slightly more greyish, postmedian of both wings much less 
sinuous, proximal subterminal of forewing with dark markings opposite those of the postmedian, but without 
connective brown spots, terminal dots minute; hindwing beneath with (minute) cell-dot and indications of 
slender postmedian and of terminal line. Mexico, 2 SS, 2 5 $ in the British Museum. Guadalajara (P. H. Gold¬ 
smith), type S’, Cuernava, Morelos. I first thought this (which was also part of the “ compensata ” congeries of 
Druce) might be a white form of subrubescens, but the cilia of the S antenna are almost certainly less long; 
the somewhat shorter tarsus makes a union with subnictata equally precarious; enucloides should be 1 or 2 mm. 
larger, the costal edge and fringes brown, and has the tarsus longer and the terminal line beneath broken into dots. 
S. anysima sp. n. (16 f). Face black. Ciliation of S antenna nearing twice diameter of shaft; hindtarsus anysima. 
less than U tibia. Forewing rather elongate, termen sinuous, tornus weak; hindwing with termen prominent 
at 1st radial, concave between this and the strong tooth of 3rd radial; lines weak, except the very sinuous post- 
median, which on the forewing is blackened between the radials and behind the 2nd median and margined distally 
by 2 brown spots; terminal dots or shallow lunules conspicuous anteriorly. Forewing beneath with smoky 
brown suffusion in and beyond cell, cell-dot larger than above, postmedian from a costal spot and marked with 
dots on the veins; hinclwing beneath unmarked. Vera Paz, Guatemala. Senahu, type and another S', Cubilguitz, 
3 SS', Panama: Chiriqui, 2 $$; all from the Godman-Salvin collection, enucloides, if I mistake not, has more 
regular shape and simpler pattern. 
S. enucloides Schaus (= enucleata Druce nec Guen.). Smaller than “ enucleata” (limboundata ) and in enucloides. 
my opinion not particularly similar; S hindtarsus totally different, about as long as the tibia, tibial pencils 
moderate. I would describe it as resembling a large, broad-wingecl, white, brown-marked subnictata, with well 
angled hindwing. Cell-dots minute, costal edge of forewing narrowly pale-brown. Coatepec, Mexico, the type a S- 
S. micara Schaus. About the size and shape of enucloides, the angle of the hindwing scarcely so sharp; micara. 
antennal ciliation not longer than in subnictata, hindtarsus of S rather shorter than tibia. Markings extremely 
weak, tone somewhat olivaceous, a little recalling that of obliviaria. Castro, Parana, the type a S-
