flesh-coloured scales, below the light apical streak there is a black streak. Hindwing light greyish-brown, at 
the margin darker. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. Colombia, Bogota. 
yhaeopera. M. phaeopera limps. (38 i) has greyish-yellow, darker strewn forewings, in the upper half of the middle 
area irrorated with blackish, with indistinctly double transverse lines, and vein-streaks behind the distal line, 
the small maculae with blackish-brown centres and finely surrounded with black; hindwing yellowish-brown, 
on the veins and margin darker. Venezuela. 
medioclara. M. medioclara Schs. (42 c) is allied to the following; in the basal third obliquely cut off as far as the 
centre of the hind-margin and in the postmedian area greyish-brown, in the middle area whitish-grey with 
double white-filled transverse lines, the distal line from the reniform macula to the hind-margin, behind it 
another brown postmedian line, behind which there are some blackish-brown spots; the large grey maculae 
show white rings; distal margin darker grey, before it a whitish subterminal shadow. Hindwing white, at 
the apex blackish-brown. In the £ the middle area is strewn with a darker grey, the whole wing being darker, 
too. Expanse of wings: 28 to 33 mm. Costa Rica. 
irivei'plaga, M. niveiplaga Schs. (38 i). Forewing yellowish-grey, irrorated with reddish and strewn with black, 
with double white-filled transverse lines, before the anterior line with a large white spot at the hind-margin 
and with yellowish maculae surrounded with black, the reniform macula below filled up with black, between 
both a strong black middle line; before the whitish undulate line there are black spots, behind it in the lower 
half 3 black streaks to the margin. Hindwing white, at the margin blackened. Mexico to Venezuela. 
polyporia. M. polyporia Dyar (38 i) was described as Acronycta, but according to several pure specimens before 
me, this small species belongs hereto near the preceding. Forewing purple grey, strewn with brown, at the 
base broadly shaded with black and with a long black stripe through the lower cell-end to the margin, here 
above it with 2 short streaks; transverse lines fine, running just like in niveiplaga, with the same maculae. 
Hindwing diaphanous white, at the apex smoky, in the $ entirely darkened. Mexico (Zacualpan), taken in 
May. 
leucomda. M. leucomela Dgn. (38 k). Forewing white, in the basal and submedian areas blackened with: black 
transverse lines, the maculae finely surrounded with black, between them at the costal margin a black spot; 
in the marginal area there is blackish irroration on the folds. Hindwing brownish-grey, at the margin darker. 
Argentina. 
mastera. M. mastera Schs. (38 k). Forewing on the white ground strewn with olive-green and purple grey, 
the darkest in the median area; the black transverse lines are bordered with white on the averted sides, the 
whitish maculae are incompletely surrounded with black, the reniform macula is proximally produced on the 
median; before the white undulate line there is at the costal margin a black spot, and behind that line on the 
discal fold a brown triangular spot. Hindwing light brown. Brazil. 
marmoraia. M. marmorata Schs. (38 k) has yellowish-white forewings strewn with brown, in the median area 
below the cell olive-yellow and behind the distal transverse line red-brown; the black dentate transverse lines 
are on the averted sides bordered with white, behind the distal line in the lower half extensively irrorated with 
reddish-white; between the white maculae the ground of the cell is darkened. The apex is parted by an oblique 
white streak, before the light undulate line there are small feeble black sagittae. Hindwing reddish-brown. 
Costa Rica to Brazil. 
semirufa. M. semirufa Drc. (38 k). Forewing in the basal half reddish-brown, in the distal half dark brown. 
in the basal area irrorated with white, with brown indistinctly double, white-filled transverse lines; the maculae 
are but very feebly marked, behind the reniform macula there is a yellowish-red spot; the apex is parted by 
an oblique white patch, below it on the discal fold a yellow streak. Hindwing light brown. South-Eastern Peru. 
repanda. M. repanda Schs. (38 k) is a very small brown species, with a lighter, above roundish spot in the centre 
of the hind-margin, with black-striped veins of the marginal area; transverse lines rather indistinct, filled up 
with whitish, ring-macula absent, the reniform macula is a narrow lunula surrounded with dark; from the apex 
being obliquely parted by light the indistinct darker undulate line proceeds. Hindwing white, at the margin 
brownish. Mexico. 
basistigma. M. basistigma Wkr. (38 k) has white forewings feebly tinted light brown, with a blackish-brown basal 
area, light brown, double, white-filled transverse lines, and a white reniform macula which is surrounded with 
black; the distal half of the median area is irrorated with brown; the white undulate line is proximally irrorated 
with brown. Hindwing light brown, at the margin darker. Jamaica. 
hemilevea. M. hemileuca Jones (38 k). Forewing white, strewn with a light reddish-brown, in the marginal half 
of a purer red-brown obliquely from the centre of the costal margin to the distal third of the hind-margin; 
transverse lines very feebly red-brown, the posterior line distally bordered with white; only the oblique white 
strangulated reniform macula is present, from widely a dark streak extends to the postmedian line; behind 
the red-brown undulate line at the apex a round white spot distally bordered with red-brown. Hindwing light 
red-brown. Brazil. 
phaeoplaga. M. phaeoplaga Jones (381) is a minute insect with light red-brown, darker strewn wings, in the
