220 CROPIA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
surrounded by black, subterminally in the centre lighter yellowish-brown with black sagittae therein. Hindwing 
dark brown. Mexico. 
C. indigna Wkr. (32 a). Forewing brownish-red, strewn with coarse black scales, in the central area 
darkened with purple blackish, with black transverse lines, the posterior line distally bordered with whitish; 
the maculae in light rings and surrounded by black, the reniform macula above and outside with white dots; 
the yellowish undulate line is on both sides shaded with brown. Hindwing yellowish-brown with a darker 
central luna and transverse line. Cuba, Hayti. 
Sect. III. <$ antennae with short pectinations, a p i c a 11 y serrate. 
C. cedica Cr. (= rivulosa Mschlr., minthe Drc. part) (32 b) is a larger, well-known species, red- 
brown, strewn with a darker colour, with a white basal spot and white antemedian band with a black spot 
below therein; the double transverse lines are filled up with white, the veins in the lower half of the central 
area white, the maculae in ochreous rings; the postmedian area is irrorated with white, therein black spots. 
Hindwing red-brown with a white anal spot and small white marginal spots. Guatemala to Brazil. 
C. phila Drc. (32 b) is somewhat similar, but the broad white bands are absent except a fine bluish- 
white double line with a white spot below the cell; undulate line dentate, light bluish white and reddish; the 
other markings agree with those of cedica. Panama to the Amazons. 
C. philosopha Schs. approximates philci , but it is much larger and with cpiite brown hindwings; the 
central area below the cell is very much darkened, the maculae are surrounded by violettish-white. Described 
from Costa Rica. 
C. plunibicincta Hmps. (32 b). Forewing greyish-brown, the lower half of the central area is jet- 
black, irrorated with lead-coloured grey, the transverse lines being double at the costal margin, otherwise single 
and bordered with bluish-white, on the averted sides irrorated with bluish-grey; the maculae are indistinctly 
surrounded by white and dotted black; undulate line indistinctly whitish, distally with small blackish spots. 
Hindwing greyish-brown, before the margin lighter. Paraguay. 
C. submarginalis Schs. is on the forewing blackish-grey with velvety black veins; the black transverse 
lines, the posterior of which is distally irrorated with whitish, are connected by a black arcuate line, the convexity 
of which touches the cell; the large maculae are dull grey, strewn with white, the ring-macula is partly bordered 
with white; the ochreous-brown undulate line is traversed by 2 black sagittae. Hindwing dark brown with 
a darker, distally white postmedian line, and a white and black anal spot. Costa Rica. 
C. viridimicans Drc. (32 b) is very different from all the other species by the silvery green scaling 
round the transverse lines and in the marginal area, the forewing is otherwise red-brown; the very large reniform 
macula is white, in the centre somewhat reddish-brown. Hindwing copper-red with a small black anal spot. 
Ecuador. 
C. hadenoides Wkr. (- juba Drc.) (32 b) is very similar to isidora, but much smaller and with different 
antennae. Forewing brown, basally and subterminally irrorated with lilac-leadcoloured grey, with black 
submedianly connected transverse lines and very large maculae finely surrounded by black and strewn with 
reddish, ochreous, and white; posterior transverse line double; the pinkish-reddish undulate line is on both sides 
bordered with brown and is traversed by 2 black streaks. Hindwing yellowish red-brown. Panama to Colombia. 
C. carnitincta Hmps. (32 b). Forewing on the pink ground strewn with brown; anterior transverse 
line double, posterior line only at the costal margin, below it distally bordered with pink; the coniform macula is 
below bordered with black, the upper, somewhat lighter-ringed maculae are not surrounded by a darker colour, 
between them a faded black median line; the reddish undulate line is proximally shaded with brown and traversed 
by black streaks, before it at the costal margin a dark brown spot. Hindwing red-brown. Panama. 
C. impressionata Dyar entirely resembles aleuca (32 c), but is separated by longer combed antennae. 
Forewing blackish-brown, basally and subterminally lighter reddish with black submedianly connected transverse 
lines and large maculae, the reniform macula with a lead-coloured ring; behind the distal transverse line 
submedian white irroration. Marginal area blackish. Hindwing brown. Mexico (Zacualpan). 
C. aleuca Hmps. (= juba Drc. part.) (32 c). Like the preceding, but with much shorter antennal 
pectinations. Veins and lower half of central area bead-coloured irrorated with blackish-brown, with a white 
basal dot. Costa Rica. 
C. connecta Sm. (= striata Drc.) (32 c). Forewing brown, in the central area darkened, particularly 
towards the hind-margin with double transverse lines which are connected by a prolongation of the coniform 
macula; the maculae are light, the reniform macula in a whitish ring, from its lower end a black ray extends 
to the margin, postmedian area irrorated with whitish. Hindwing dark brownish-grey. From Texas to Paraguay. 
C. poliomera Jones (32 d) is very similar to connecta, with a strong black median line between the 
maculae, a much lighter, white, indistinctly defined renifom macula, and a large dark spot before the undulate 
line at the costal margin, in the marginal area strewn with white, in the basal half of the forewing slightly 
suffused with silvery grey; both the transverse lines are more distinctly double, filled up with whitish. Hind- 
wing red-brown, with a whitish postmedian line and a white anal spot. Brazil.
