(= ab. I Hmps.) which may rather be a distinct species, has white hindwings with a dark central spot and a

before and behind the median area, with double transverse lines being at the costal margin filled up with whitish, 
and darker maculae, from the reniform macula a black streak extends to the posterior transverse line, behind 
which there are white vein-dots; before the indistinctly lighter undulate line there are minute black sagittae. 
Hindwing reddish blackish-brown. Peru. 
M. stygiafa Hmps. (39 c) is somewhat similar to tenebrosa, but the forewing is more greyish-brown, siygiata. 
the anterior transverse line double, filled up with grey, the posterior line single, distally bordered with white, 
behind it black vein-streaks; on the middle radial branch with a black streak to the undulate line. Hindwing 
greyish-brown, on the margin darker. Paraguay. 
M. haemassa Hmps. (39 c) is on the forewing grey, irrorated with purple reddish, with very fine puncti- haemassa. 
form transverse lines and finely lighter ringed maculae, the reniform macula surrounded with black dots; behind 
the indistinct brown undulate line there are white vein-clots. Hindwing light reddish-brown. Cuba. 
M. niiochroa Jones (39 c). Forewing dark greyish-brown with a double lighter filled anterior transverse niiochroa. 
line and a single, distally white-edged posterior transverse line, the latter with white vein-dots behind it; the 
narrow red-brown ring-macula is on both sides bordered by strong black streaks, the reniform macula is little 
visible; before the light undulate line dark shading. Hindwing light brown with a dark central spot. Brazil. 
M. grata Hbn. (= rasilis Morr., subusta Drc.) (39 c). Forewing red-brown, strewn with grey and grata. 
blackish, with finely darker striped veins, the anterior double transverse line filled up with white, the posterior 
single line distally bordered with white, the black-centred maculae with white rings, the reniform macula

shaded with dark. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin brownish. From the United States (Maryland, 
Florida, Mississippi, Kansas, Texas), Mexico, and Panama. — Larva dark brown with a narrow white dorsal
