M. ixion Schs. (42 d). Forewing as far as the centre and behind it at the costal margin as far as the vnnn. 
post median line white, here confluent with the white reniform macula, costal margin and basal area spotted 
brownish; transverse lines fine brown, the posterior line bordered with greyish-white, distal portion brown, 
defined by a black line; undulate line white. Hindwing dark greyish-brown. French Guiana. 
M. costipunda Sch.s. (39 c). Forewing on the grey ground irrorated with olive-green, before the centre coslipunela. 
darkened by a greyish brown, and with black-striped veins of the marginal area; anterior transverse line double, 
filled up with white, the single posterior line distally bordered with white; the small grey maculae with white 
rings are separated by a black costal-marginal spot which is continued as a streak beneath the reniform macula ; 
the light undulate line is proximally irrorated with fiery red, behind it analwards a black spot. Hindwing 
light brown. Brazil. 
M. ditrigona Jones (39 d). Forewing on the silvery white ground irrorated with reddish-brown, easily diirujona. 
recognizable by 2 large black triangular spots at the costal margin; transverse lines indistinct, the posterior 
line double, maculae very finely surrounded with black; a whitish undulate line is only indicated. Hindwing 
of a pure white. Brazil. 
M. bucephalina Mob. (39 e) has brownish-black forewings irrorated with grey, in the apical half ’buccplutU- 
obliquely cut off reddish-yellow, with a triangular greyish-white costal-marginal spot therein; the transverse 
lines are black, obsolete, submedianly connected; in the marginal area there are single black streaks. Hindwing 
yellowish-white, at the anal angle darker. Described from Patagonia. 
M. statiuncula Mschlr. We append here the diagnoses of two uncertain species which may belong statiuncula. 
hereto; they have been described as Hadena; statiuncula has a lustrous yellowish-brown forewing which is 
violettish-brown in the median area and at the margin, with dark brown transverse lines forming 3 bows, the 
posterior line being distally bordered with a light yellowish brown, with black and white vein-dots behind it; 
the dark brown undulate line is distally bordered with yellowish and projects centrally towards the margin. 
The large white reniform macula is irrorated with brown and yellow, so that only a streak remains purely white; 
hindwing whitish-yellow, at the margin brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 24 to 26 mm. Surinam. 
M. regressa Mschlr. is of the same size as the preceding, bark-coloured brown with a golden brown regressa. 
lustre, in the median area and at the inner angle mixed with golden yellow, the transverse lines being blackish, 
the anterior line composed of small lunular spots, distally yellowish-brown, towards the costal margin bordered 
with white, the posterior line being indistinct, the blackish-brown subterminal area is distally bordered by 
the light yellowish-brown undulate line, above with small black spots behind it; the quadrangular ring-macula 
is dark, surrounded with white, the large oval reniform macula is white, except two small spots it is irrorated 
with yellowish-grey and surrounded with dark brown. Hindwing lustrous dingy grey, at the margin brownish. 
Expanse of wings: 23,6 mm. Surinam. 
96. Genus: l^eoiuilicliia Hmps, 
Separated from the preceding genus merely by a slight rounded frontal projection with a horny plate 
below it. Only 2 species: 
N. caternaulti Gn. fervens Wlcr., dentilineata Btlr .) (39 e). Forewing purple brown, strewn with grey, mternaulti. 
with indistinct double transverse lines filled up with grey, the maculae surrounded with a scarcely darker colour, 
the reniform macula with a reddish centre, darkened by the median shadow passing through it; undulate line 
proximally bordered with a feebly darker colour; hindwing white with a brown marginal band, in the $ quite 
brown. Venezuela to Brazil. — In ab. fuscafa Btlr. the reniform macula has a comma-shaped white centre, fuscata. 
N. hylea Cr. (39 e) is a pretty, yellow species strewn with red, with red-brown faded transverse hylca. 
bands, red maculae with yellow rings, with a white streak below at the reniform macula; the dentate transverse 
lines are brown. Hindwing white, at the margin brownish. Guiana to Brazil. 
97. Genus: Leiosella Sch.s. 
Very near to the genus Monodes, only distinguished by the entirely tuftless thorax and abdomen. 
Probably the closely allied Mon. marmorata Schs. belongs to the same genus. 
L. egregia Schs. (42 d). Forewing at the base, in the centre of the costal margin, in some places in and egregia. 
below the cell, at the hind-margin and distal margin green, otherwise lilac, with a large lighter, white-edged 
submedian spot in the basal area; the transverse lines are blackish-brown, interrupted, the posterior line spotted, 
before the green narrow reniform macula, which is surrounded with white, with a bent brown median shadow; 
the white undulate line terminates into the white, green-strewn apex. Hindwing lilac-brown. Expanse of wings: 
29 mm. Costa Rica. 
98. Genus: Procrateria Hmps. 
This genus being otherwise only represented in the African region has only recently become known 
from America by one species with much shorter palpi than the preceding, and a large truncate conical projection 
on the frons with raised edges and a horny plate under it.
