lines, the posterior line below the reniform macula very much curved, and with an intense black median shadow 
between the maculae which are surrounded with brown; the undulate line is indistinctly white. Hindwing 
diaphanous white, at the margin feebly brownish. —ab. deliriosella Strd. (= ab. 1 . Hmps.) has a red-brown median 
shadow, a black connecting streak between the transverse lines on the submedian fold, and 3 blackish-brown 
spots before the anterior transverse line. — ab. deliriosula Strd. (= ab. 2 Hmps.) has all the three maculae 
black-centred, and -— ab. atristrigata Strd. (= ab. 3 Hmps.) combines the marks of deliriosella with the black- 
centred maculae of deliriosula. Bahamas, Hayti. 
M. agyra Drc. (38 d) has plainly ciliated antennae like all the following; forewing red-brown mixed 
with ochre-yellowish, the costal-marginal veins and the median vein yellowish-white; the double transverse 
lines are filled up with yellowish-white, the maculae in yellowish-white rings and surrounded with black, the 
reniform macula on the median vein proximally produced and above and below white-dotted, the yellowish 
undulate line is proximally marked with brown. Hindwing greyish-brown with a dark central dot and transverse 
line behind it. In the $ there is a broad yellowish-white costal-marginal streak. Panama to Colombia. 
M. villicosta Wkr. (38 d) is a very peculiar insect owing to the long costal-marginal hairing of the <$, 
hanging down over the forewing as far as the median vein. Forewing lustrous reddish-grey intermixed with 
silvery scales, with very faint markings, the transverse lines only indicated, the posterior line more or less dotted; 
no maculae whatever except a light dot in the lower cell-angle; undulate line dotted dark. Hindwing white, 
at the costal margin reddish-brown. The $ is more red-brown and more distinctly marked. Panama to Brazil. 
M. devara Drc. (38 e). In this species and the following barbarossa the $ is long-haired on the forewing 
beneath, the hair being turned upwards below the submedian fold, otherwise turned downwards, and besides 
with hair-tufts at the base of the costal margin and a fold at the lower cell-angle. Forewing purple red-brown, 
towards the costal margin darkened with blackish-striped veins; the transverse lines are black, the posterior 
line is double, filled up with a pinkish white; the maculae are small, narrow and oblicpie, bordered with whitish; 
in the apex there is a yellow tricuspidate spot. Hindwing greyish-brown. Mexico to Panama, and in Jamaica. 
M. barbarossa Hmps. (38 e) is very similar to devara, larger on an average, below the whitish apical 
patch with a black triangular diffuse spot extending from the margin on the discal fold to the posterior transverse 
line; both the transverse lines are double, filled up with white, the posterior line is towards the hind-margin 
more curved towards the distal margin, and here with black and white vein-streaks behind it; undulate line light, 
in devara dark. Hindwing much darker, coppery blackish-brown. Trinidad, Paraguay. 
M. vittifera Hmps. (38 e). Here the $ forewing beneath is uniformly clad with silky hair. A very 
small red-brown species, in the hindmarginal half of the median area yellowish with fine black double transverse 
lines filled up with grey, and an indistinct grey reniform macula; before a small grey apical spot there is a black 
wedge-shaped spot with an ochreous streak below it, in the 9 besides with a black streak in the centre of the 
cell. Hindwing light brown. Panama to Brazil. 
M. antica Wkr. (= detrecta Drc., concisa Drc., fuscimacula Hmps.) (38 e), like the following 3 species, 
has in the male both wings beneath thickly covered with blackish-brown scales. Forewing brown, strewn with 
a darker colour, with double transverse lines being filled up with a hardly lighter colour, the maculae marked 
with black and white, the ring-macula being only a dot, the reniform macula a black streak; behind the distal 
transverse line there are black vein-dots, the light indistinct undulate line is proximally marked with brown. 
Hindwing light reddish-brown. Widely distributed from Mexico to Venezuela. 
M. fuscimacula Grt. (38 e) is very similar, with narrower wings, greyer, only in the upper half of the 
median area and at the distal margin more reddish, with black single transverse lines being on the averted 
sides bordered with grey, the small and narrow maculae black-centred and in grey rings; the grey undulate 
line is proximally shaded with red-brown. Hindwing greyish-brown. From Florida and Texas. 
M. hyposcota Hmps. (= fuscimacula Hmps. part.) (38 e) is likewise similar, more yellowish red-brown, 
in the central and marginal areas irrorated with greyish-brown, and easily discernible by the scarcely darker 
centred maculae, only the reniform macula is above and beneath filled up a little more with black; the posterior 
transverse line is filled up more with yellowish, and behind it there is a double row of black vein-dots. Hindwing 
yellowish-brown. Costa Rica to Peru, also in St. Vincent and Grenada. The species is somewhat smaller on 
an average. 
M. insipida Dgn. (38 e) is still smaller, greyish-brown, the anterior transverse line is double, filled 
up with grey, the posterior line quite obsolete; the ring-macula is a black dot in a grey ring; the reniform macula 
is feebly surrounded with brown; undulate line grey. Hindwing light brown. Ecuador. 
M. deltoides Mschlr. (= harudes Drc.) (38 e). The $ exhibits here and in the two following species 
both the wings beneath densely covered with ferruginous brown hair in the basal parts; a small, common and 
easily recognizable species. Forewing light violettish-brown with a large chocolate-brown central spot bordered 
with white; the marginal area is occupied by a large red-brown triangular spot, the transverse lines are double,
