there are in the green distal margin black spots partly bordered with white. Hindwing whitish, irrorated with 
brownish-grey. Mexico to Costa Rica. 
M. orbiculafa Schs. (39 a) is much larger than algama which it otherwise resembles somewhat, in 
the colouring olive-brown, with white-edged transverse lines, a small round, purely white ring-macula, the 
reniform macula surrounded with black, between both black irroration. Hindwing darker brown. Brazil. 
M. optata Schs. (42 c). Forewing light olive-green with a blackish-brown spot below the base of 
the cell and with fine brown, white-edged transverse lines, the posterior line distally partly shaded with lilac 
grey; the round white ling-macula is situate in the brownish-black cell, the reniform macula is darker green, 
on both sides bordered with brown and white; the undulate line consists of small blackish-brown internerval 
spots, of which that at the costal margin and that between the upper radial branches are the largest, those 
situate above them being distally removed. Hindwing brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Costa Rica. 
M. chionopis Drc. (39 a). Forewing yellowish-white, with an olive tint and strewn with black, the 
upper three quarters of the antemedian area and a postmedian costal-marginal spot are black like the transverse 
lines which are bordered with white; the small maculae are surrounded with black, the ring-macula is white, 
the reniform macula ochreou5-yellow; the whitish undulate line is proximally shaded with blackish. Hindwing 
light brownish, at the margin darker. Peru. 
M. streptisema Hmps. has yellow forewings mixed with red-brown, with whrte transverse lines being 
on both sides scaled black or red-brown, a small round white ring-macula surrounded with black, the strangulated 
reniform macula being above yellow and below white; the yellowish undulate line is on both sides bordered 
with red-brown. Hindwing coppery red-brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Peru. 
M. thoracka Schs. (39 a) is one of the largest species with bright red-brown forewings being irrorated 
with blackish at the costal margin and in the cell, the double transverse lines filled up with whitish, behind 
the distal line with black and white double dots; the ring-macula is like in the preceding of a pure white, the 
reniform macula red-brown, small, both surrounded with black; before the indistinctly lighter undulate line 
there are proximally single small black sagittae. Hindwing light brown, at the margin darker. Brazil. 
M. castrensis Schs. (39 a). Forewing light brown, strewn with a darker red-brown, with a large bluish- 
black spot in the upper three quarters of the antemedian area; transverse lines double, the small ring-macula 
of a pure white, the reniform macula grey with a bluish-black centre and before and behind it with chocolate 
spots; before the light undulate line black irroration. Hindwing brown. Brazil. 
M. niveopis Dyar (39 a) is dark ochreous-brown with black transverse lines, the anterior line being 
double, the posteriof line followed by a row of vein-dots; ring-macula of a pui'e white, the reniform macula 
divided into 2 black round spots, between both a dark nebulous line; in the blackened marginal area the lighter 
undulate line extends. Hindwing blackish-brown. Mexico. 
M. cenicienta Dgn. (39 a). Forewing bluish-grey, irrorated with brownish, and in the basal and median 
areas as well as before the undulate line irrorated with blackish-brown, the double anterior transverse line 
filled up with grey, the single posterior line on both sides bordered with whitish, behind the distal line with 
a row of vein-dots; the ring-macula is a small white spot, the reniform macula is indistinct blackish, with a 
grey ring; behind the grey undulate line there are black marginal dots. Hindwing greyish-white, at the margin 
brownish. Ecuador. 
M. stelligera Schs. (39 b). Forewing dark brown mixed with a greyish white, the transverse lines 
indicated by yellow spots and vein-dots, the same being the case with the maculae and the undulate line. 
Hindwing light brown with a golden reflection. Brazil. 
M. mesomela Dgn. (39 b). The grey forewing is feebly irrorated with red-brown and strewn darker 
with rather indistinct whitish transverse lines and small yellowish or whitish maculae with a quadrangular black 
spot between them; the apex is parted by a black streak; before the whitish undulate line dark irroration. 
Hindwing light brown. Peru. 
M. cadema Schs. (39 b). The grey, black-strewn forewing is suffused with dark brown as far as the 
posterior transverse line and in the marginal area, the veins are black-striped, the double transverse lines filled 
up with grey, the posterior line quite indistinct; the small maculae are connected by a black streak; in the 
apex there is an oblique greyish-white spot, the indistinct grey undulate line is proximally shaded with brown. 
Hindwing of a pure white, on the margin and veins narrowly brownish. Brazil. 
M. flaviorbis Dgn. (39 b) is a small, dark red-brown species irrorated with grey, with double undulate 
transverse lines, the quadrangular orange-yellow ring-macula is surrounded with black, the dark-centred reniform 
macula exhibits above 2 white dots and proximally a white and black concave border-streak; undulate line 
yellowish, behind it white marginal dots. Hindwing light brown, at the margin darker. South-Eastern Peru. 
M. cohaerens Schs. (42 d). Forewing pinkish-yellowish with an oblique white stripe from the centre 
of the costal margin to the anal angle, at the cell-end bordered with a metallic steel-grey colour being the base 
of a steel-grey triangular line, the whole distal area behind the white line is velvety brown with a white line
