triangular spot behind it. Hindwing white, at the apex and margin brown. Mexico to Paraguay, also in Jamaica 
Cuba, and Dominica. 
M. nucicolora Gn. (= unisignata Wlcr., paginata Morr.) (38 f) has grey forewings irrorated with red- nucicolora. 
brown, with a lighter costal area and a red-brown marginal area, and with double transverse lines filled up 
with whitish, the posterior line terminating close in front of the anal angle; only the narrow, small whitish 
luna of the reniform macula is present with one small dark triangular spot each before and behind it. Hindwing 
of a pure white. -— In the form clara Harv. (38 f) the black surroundings of the maculae are absent. From dam. 
Florida and Texas to Brazil and Peril. 
M. subrubens Gn. (38 e). Forewing greyish-brown, in the costal-marginal area light reddish with suhrubens. 
black and white strewn veins and a large dark brown triangular spot, the apex of which is situate in the lower 
cell-angle, the base of it at the hind-margin, and defined by the transverse lines which are bordered with whitish; 
no maculae; undulate line proximally shaded with dark. Hindwing light brown, in the rj at the hind-margin 
with fiery red hair. Brazil, Paraguay, Peru. 
M. punctula Sch.s. (38 f). The $ has only the hindwing beneath clad with rough scales; forewing red- punctula. 
brown with a grey tinge and feebly strewn with dark; transverse lines double, the distal line with a double 
row of vein-dots behind it; the maculae are in whitish rings and surrounded with black, darker centred, between 
them a faded median line; before the hardly lighter undulate line there is proximad somewhat darker shading. 
Hindwing dark red-brown. Brazil. 
M. atrisecta Hmps. (38 f) is an easily recognized species with ochre-reddish forewings, feebly strewn atrisecta. 
with a darker colour, with brown-striped veins and a blackish-brown stripe on the discal fold from the centre 
of the cell to the margin and here upwards continued to the apex; the transverse lines are fine black, before 
the anterior line a brown band, the posterior line being only double at the costal margin is in the middle reduced 
to internerval dots; the maculae are very small, whitish, only the reniform macula is finely surrounded with 
black and on the inside pupilled with a brown streak. Hindwing yellowish brown. Brazil. 
M. perigeana Sch.s. (42 b). Forewing lustrous lilac-brown, strewn with a darker colour, with a blackish- perigeana. 
grey median shadow and very fine blackish-brown single transverse lines, behind the distal line with black 
vein-dots; the maculae are surrounded with greyish-brown; subterminally there are small blackish-brown 
internerval spots. Hindwing white, at the margin narrowly brownish. Expanse of wings: 31 mm. Costa Rica ; 
Panama-specimens are smaller, the markings less darkened. 
M. interstriata Hmp.s. (38 f) has ochreous-yellowish forewings irrorated with brown in the costal inter sir uda. 
portion with fine brown veins, and in the marginal area with internerval streaks; the small maculae are surrounded 
with brown and centred with brown dots, between them brown irroration in the cell, the anterior transverse 
line is entirely absent, the posterior line is marked by double rows of vein-dots. Hindwing whitish, at the margin 
brownish. Paraguay. 
M. discisigna Hmp.s. The ochre-yellow forewing is in some places irrorated with reddish and strewn discisigna. 
with black, behind the cell irrorated with dark brown, in the centre of the marginal area with black internerval 
streaks, the end of the median vein white, the transverse lines are incomplete, indicated by rows of dots; in 
the centre of the cell there is a faded blackish-brown spot, and behind the cell a round blackish spot, instead 
of the undulate line there are minute black spots. Hindwing reddish brown. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Jamaica. 
M. tenuifascia Hmps. has whitish forewings irrorated with light red-brown; only of the anterior icmdfascia. 
transverse line there are brown traces, the very small reniform macula is incompletely surrounded with dark 
brown, behind it on the discal fold there is a dark streak which meets an oblique apical streak; in the marginal 
area dark internerval streaks. Hindwing of a pure white. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Argentina. 
M. goyensis Hmp.s. is similar to tenuifascia, somewhat larger, on the forewing somewhat more strewn goyensis. 
with dark brown and with intenser markings, the posterior transverse line is double, filled up with whitish, 
in the centre of the cell a blackish-brown spot, the reniform macula is on the sides bordered with blackish- 
brown, before it darker irroration, the small coniform macula is also surrounded with blackish-brown; the 
black marginal dots are proximally pupilled with whitish, with small dark spots before them. Hindwing light 
reddish-brown. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Argentina. 
M. rubrisecta Hmps. (38 f) is likewise similar to the two preceding species, with narrower wings, rubrisccta. 
on the ochreous-reddish forewing with a dark triangular shadow extending from the margin below the apex 
to the submedian fold; the transverse lines consist of double rows of vein-dots; in the lower cell-angle there 
is a small dark spot; the subcostal branches are striped whitish. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the apex 
brownish. Brazil. 
M. costagna Sch.s. (38 g) is in the upper half of the forewing from the base of the hind-margin obliquely costagna. 
to the apex light ochreous, below it red-brown mixed with grey, the transverse lines are in the brown portion 
indicated by white lines, in the yellow portion by dark costal-marginal streaks, behind the distal line with black 
vein-dots; the reniform macula is small and narrow, only below bordered with white; the veins below it partly 
white-striped; before the whitish undulate line irrorated with brown. Hindwing white, at the margin red- 
brown. Brazil.
