bordered with white; from the end of the coniform macula being surrounded with black a black stripe extends 
to the posterior transverse line, the upper maculae are in whitish rings and surrounded with black; veins in 
the marginal area striped black with black sagittae between them. Hindwing brownish. From Canada. 
A. exhilarata Sm. is very much like the following betsia, but decidedly whitish-grey with much more r.rhUarala. 
intense and more distinct markings, the hindwings being all white. The $ is more dusty brownish-grey with 
more faded and not black markings. From Utah. 
A. betsia Sm. is discernible from all the allies by the very light ash-grey forewings and purely white beMa. 
hindwings; forewing with a long black basal ray, upwards distinctly defined, downwards faded; transverse 
lines single, black, the anterior line composed of 3 bows, the posterior line only marked by streaks, behind 
lighter, a long subanal tooth extends to the anterior transverse line with the coniform macula; the large, some¬ 
what lighter maculae are only in front marked black. Expanse of wings: 37% mm. Described according to 
1 q from Utah. 
A. privata Wkr. (= monstrata WJcr., sculpta Grt.) (12 b) has grey forewings in some parts dusted privala. 
with a dark brown, with the same markings as the preceding species, though more variegated, the transverse 
lines edged more by whitish. Hindwing dusted with brown, with darker veins. Canada; Eastern and Central 
States to New York and Colorado. —- plana Grt. seems more to be based on an aberrative specimen lacking plana. 
the transverse lines, whereby it looks more longitudinally striped. 
A. teltowa Sm. is much darker than privata (12 b), more dark bluish-grey instead of ash-grey with feltowa. 
much darker hindwings showing a more intense discal spot and postdiscal line; the markings of the forewings 
are stronger though more faded, the undulate line is absent altogether, the shade accompanying it proximally 
in privata extends across the whole marginal area. New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey. 
A. atristrigata Sm. (12 a). Grey, dusted with a brownish black and easily recognizable by the long atrifstrigala. 
black submedian stripe extending from the base to the margin and being above and beneath bordered by a 
faded blackish brown; transverse lines double, filled up with whitish, the posterior line removed uncommonly 
close to the margin, the markings otherwise not different from those of the preceding. Hindwing almost purely 
white. Texas. 
A. tenuilinea Sm. in the colouring and scheme of markings entirely resembles privata (12 b) and it tennUinea. 
also resembles teltowa, but it is at once discernible from them by very fine and delicate markings and the light 
yellowish-grey basal area. Utah, Massachusetts. 
A. profunda Sm. (12 b) differs from the preceding by the very dark colour being intensely strewn profunda. 
with black; the transverse lines are single, bordered with whitish, rather close together and connected sub- 
medianly. Hindwing white with a darker subterminal band. Canada, Manitoba. —- f. obscura Sm. from Calgary obscura. 
is still darker, but more brown, more uniformly coloured without any contrasts, with less distinct transverse 
lines; the hindwings are darker, too. 
A. negrita Hmps. has blackish-brown forewings feebly dusted with grey, with indistinct, undulate negrita. 
transverse lines, a short, deep red-brown coniform macula surrounded with black, the upper maculae in grey 
rings with brown pupils and surrounded with black, the reniform macula in the middle strangulated, exten¬ 
ding as far as below the cell-end; instead of the undulate line there are small grey and black sagittae. Hindwing 
white with brown veins, the proximal margin and marginal area being broadly suffused with a brownish grey. 
Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Uruguay. 
A. colombiensis Dogn. is a much smaller species, dark grey, strewn with whitish and black, with colombien- 
black transverse lines dying away in the variegated ground, the posterior line distally edged with white; macula 
strewn with white and grey, surrounded with black, the ring-macula above and below open, above both black 
costal streaks; the rather indistinct whitish undulate line forms 2 bows. Hindwing white, veins, costal margin 
and distal margin blackish. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Colombia (Bogota). 
26. Genus: Aiioinogyiift Stgr. 
In the large and broad forewings it agrees with Aplectoides from which it differs by the unspined, very 
hairy anterior tibiae; besides the palpi are scaled in front, not hairy. The thorax is covered with scaled hair, 
in the centre there are loose tufts. Comp. Vol. Ill, p. 59. 
A. sincera H.-Schaff. (Vol. Ill, t. 13 k). This extremely rare species has been dealt with in the sincera. 
palearctic part (Vol. Ill, p. 59). The specimens from Labrador in the Coll. Statjdinger are on an average 
smaller with somewhat narrower wings, and in the postmedian area and subcostally dusted somewhat darker 
than European specimens; the hindwings are also much darker brown. Otherwise the beautiful species showing
