M. bogotana Fldr. has yellowish-white forewings strewn with dark brown, with a darkened marginal borjoiana. 
area and fine black, indistinctly double transverse lines and a black spot between the brown-centred maculae 
which are finely encircled with black; the apex is parted by an oblique light wedge-shaped spot extending to 
the postmedian line; the whitish undulate line is only traceable. Hindwing light brown. From Colombia to 
Chile. Expanse of wings: 22-—28 mm. 
M. olivescens Dgn. Forewing coarsely strewn with white, red-brown, and green scales, at the costal olive-wens. 
margin, hind-margin and postdiscally of a purer green, a white cellular patch is continued obliquely behind 
it to the apex; in the cell there is a brown spot, a brown discal streak behind it; the anterior transverse line 
is only represented in the lower portion by 2 white streaks between the median and the hind-margin; 
subterminally there are small red-brown internerval spots, behind them in the reddish shaded marginal area 
there are some more red-brown internerval spots. Hindwing brown, discally brightened up by whitish. Expanse 
of wings: 21 mm. French Guiana. 
Mo exesa Gn. (= floridasa Whr.) (38 h) is larger than the preceding, otherwise very similarly marked, cxesu. 
but of a more monotonous colouring, duller brown with a darker nebulous stripe in and below the cell from 
the anterior transverse line to the margin from below the apex to the end of the lower median branch, with 
darker striped veins; the transverse lines are double, behind the distal line there are black and white vein-dots; 
the small maculae are also finely encircled with black, between them on the discal fold there is a black streak, 
behind the cell a small black spot; in the apex there is an irregular ochreous spot from which the yellowish 
undulate line starts. Hindwing reddish brown. Florida to Mexico. — The form trolia Dyar is a smaller, slim trolia. 
form with narrower wings, with a lighter, not brown-shaded under surface. From Panama. 
M. renipes Schs. (38 h) has brown forewings, at the costal margin, in the cell as far as the posterior renipes. 
transverse line and at the distal margin the darkest, at the hind-margin broadly yellowish-red, very similarly 
marked as the preceding, with double transverse lines and somewhat lighter maculae finely encircled with dark, 
the reniform macula foot-shaped, the toes showing towards the ring-macula; below the apex there is a black 
subterminal streak. Hindwing thinly scaled, smoky brown. Mexico, Costa Rica. 
M. obliquirena Hmps. (38 h) likewise belongs yet near to the preceding from which it differs in the obliquircnn 
absence of the black discal streak in the cell. Forewing ochreous-reddish brown, in the centre of the marginal 
area irrorated with brownish grey, with double transverse lines filled up with yellowish, behind the distal line 
with black and white vein-streaks; the small maculae have reddish centres and yellow rings; the undulate 
line is composed of small yellowish spots and proceeds from a large apical spot. Hindwing yellowish white, on 
the veins and margin red-brown. Panama to Paraguay and Argentina, also in St. Vincent. 
M. ensitia Barnes (38 h) is larger than the preceding, of a brighter red-brown, the double transverse ensina. 
lines filled up with grey, before the anterior line at the costal margin there is a quadrangular black spot, behind 
the distal line darker grey irroration with a black internerval streak in the centre; the small maculae have lighter 
rings and darker centres, from the reniform macula, which is proximally produced on the median, a black streak 
extends to the postmedian line. Hindwing brownish-grey, at the margin darker. Arizona. 
M. polysticta Jones (38 i) is a small species with broad wings, being slightly concave below the somewhat polystida. 
produced apex. 'Forewing light red-brown, in the marginal area darker; transverse lines indistinctly double, 
the posterior line punctiform; the small maculae in white rings, the reniform macula below black-centred, 
undulate line indistinctly darker, above it at the apex a small white strigiform spot. Hindwing brownish-grey. 
Brazil. 
M. apicalis Schs. (38 i) is much larger, light red-brown, strewn with blackish, with a large triangular apical is. 
bluish-grey spot in the marginal area; the transverse lines are quite indistinct, the posterior line double and 
with black vein-dots behind it; only the small ring-macula is present and surrounded with brown, the reniform 
macula being absent; the undulate line is composed of reddish patches with small black sagittae before them. 
Hindwing red-brown. Venezuela, Brazil. 
M. pallescens Hmps. (38 i). Forewing greyish-white, strewn with reddish, in the marginal area red- palleseens. 
brown; at the costal margin there is before the anterior transverse line a red-brown spot, another irregular 
one below' it from the cell to the hind-margin; transverse lines indistinctly double, behind the distal line white 
vein-dots; the maculae are in whitish rings and with blackish centres; the indistinct light undulate line starts 
from a yellow apical spot and exhibits outside black dots and on the discal fold a black streak. Hindwing red- 
brown. Venezuela. 
M. pulida Dgn. (— hemipolia Drc.) (38 i) is on the forewing in the basal half greyish-white, behind pnlida. 
it red-brown, the anterior transverse line is double, dentate, the posterior line white, single; the maculae 
are quite feebly indicated, the reniform macula is an obfique blackish-brown lunula in a grey ring, the undulate 
line greyish-white. Hindwing brownish-grey. Peru. 
M. aphronistes Dyar (42 c). Forewing dark purple grey, in the costal half of the basal area, above aphronisics 
the maculae and in an apical strigiform spot flesh-coloured reddish, both the transverse lines are narrow, feebly
