costal-marginal and proximal-marginal part and brown veins as well as an interrupted brownisli-grey ante- 
terminal line. Thorax steel-coloured black; collar ferruginous yellow. From the Quindiu Pass (Colombia). 
A. oblimata sp. n. (13 e) likewise resembles plectina, it is smaller, and at once discernible by the 
brownish-grey hindwing with a darker discal luna and a much darker margin; the light costal-marginal part 
gradually passes over into the slightly darker distal-marginal area which is a little lighter than the rest of the 
forewing; both the transverse lines are distinct, double; the small round ring-macula with a dark pupil, the 
reniform macula is also filled up with a darker colour. Collar and ventral side ferruginous brown. 1 q from 
Mount Tolima (Colombia). 
A. heterochroma sp. n. (13 f) is larger and has broader wings than the preceding, of a dark purple 
brown with a lighter costal-marginal stripe and marginal area, and the submedian discal area is also lighter as 
far as the broad median shade flowing together with the post median line; all the 3 transverse lines are very 
distinct, double, the posterior line dentate, filled up with a lighter tint and at the costal margin at its beginning 
marked by 2 distinct black double streaks each, the subbasal one here with an acute-angled projection distally; 
the indistinct undulate line is proximally bordered by brownish triangular spots, that situate at the costal margin 
being the largest and of a much darker purple brown; before the margin, between the veins, thick black triangular 
dots; the median, the base of both its branches and the submedian are distinctly striped lighter in the discal 
area. Hindwing brownish-grey with whitish fringes parted by a brownish line. One $ from Mount Tolima (Colom¬ 
bia) at an altitute of 4200 m, taken by Fassl. 
A. incumbens Dyar (9 g) is a large, beautiful species allied to mizteca; collar loam-coloured, broadly 
bordered with a velvety black, thorax and fore wing red-brown, the latter towards the margin dusted with 
ochreous grey, with a broad loam-coloured yellowish costal-marginal stripe, black basal ray and single, almost 
straight transverse stripes, distally strewn with yellowish, proximally with black; the upper maculae are large 
yellowish rings, the reniform macula filled up with a somewhat more blackish tint. Hindwing brownish-grey 
Mexico (Vera Cruz, Morelos). 
A. chabaudana Dyar (9 g) is allied to incumbens, but the ground-colour is not red-brown, but slate- 
coloured, very slightly dusted with brown, the cell between the maculae and before them of a velvety black; the 
two transverse lines are not dentate, almost straight, the distal one parallel to the distal margin. Hindwing 
brownish grey, towards the base lighter. Mexico (Zacualpan). 
A. delicatessa Dyar (9 h) is a very pretty species, brown, in the basal and marginal areas lighter, in 
the discal area dusted with blackish, at the costal margin loam-coloured grey, with a black basal ray; the cell 
between the yellowish-brown maculae is black; both the transverse lines double, dentate. Hindwing whitish, 
at the margin and veins grey. Mexico (Zacualpan'). 
A. herculeana Schs. (9 i) looks like a gigantic normaniana, tinted reddish-brown in the discal area. 
Transverse lines double, dentate, the ring-macula purple brown, V-shaped, the reniform macula yellowish- 
white, the cell between them black; behind the post median line black dots on the veins; marginal area behind 
the undulate line purple-blackish. Hindwing brownish-grey, towards the base lighter. Found in Mexico. 
A. rosaria Grt. (9 k) has ochreous-reddish forewings with darker veins, with double, very finely dentate 
transverse lines; maculae ochreous yellowish, in grey rings and surrounded with black, the cell between them 
dark brown, from where a median shade extends to the proximal margin; undulate line light. Hindwing yellow¬ 
ish white, towards the margin darkened. Canada to California. 
A. cynica Sm. (= perversa Strd.) (10 a) differs from the similar rosaria by much broader forewings 
of a lighter reddish-brown ground-colour; the markings are almost the same, but the median shade is absent. 
From New York, Albany. — f. perumbrosa Dyar (= umbrosa Dyar ) is a darker form of this species, but it 
may belong to rubifera. 
A. calgary Sm. (9 k) looks likewise very much like rosaria, but it has no darker veins in the marginal 
area, and the ground-colour is a lighter red-brown dusted with grey; both the upper maculae are strewn with 
grey without a yellowish tint; there is a median shade and the ground of the cell between the maculae may 
be darkened or not; postmedian area darkened with a light undulate line in it. The yellowish-reddish hindwing 
shows traces of a darker post median line. Canada. 
A. rubifera Grt. (9 k) is also similar, of a darker chestnut-brown, intensely dusted with blackish, 
with a black dot in the basal area in the cell and with double transverse lines; maculae dusted with a brownish 
grey, the lower proximal angle of the reniform macula extended on the median, the ground before and between 
them darkened with black; behind the postmedian line dark dots on the veins. Hind wing ochreous-grey with 
light yellowish fringes. Northern Atlantic States. 
A. dislocata Sm. at first sight very much resembles calgary (9 k), but it is easily discernible by 
the different course of the median shade projecting distally on the median and closely approaching the post¬ 
median line; the ground-colour is more bluish ash-grey, dusted with a reddish brown especially in the distal 
area, which is distinctly defined by the double postmedian from the colour of the discal area; maculae large, 
grey, ring-macula above open. Expanse of wings: 31 to 35 mm. Canada.
