A. julumito Dogn. (19 i) is characterized by very large, black apical spots of the forewing. The julumilo. 
head is quite scarlet, the antennae black, palpi yellow. Collar, shoulder-covers and thorax yellow with fine 
black margins. The abdomen is orange-yellow r with a black median line, beginning from the 5th ring black 
with a leaden lustre, the segments 3 and 4 finely bordered with black. Underside and legs are quite yellow. 
Described from Ecuador (Loja), before me also from French Guiana (Nouveau Chantier). 
A. sanguiceps Druce (19 i) is larger than the preceding, of a more intense orange colour, only the sanguiceps. 
vertex being red, with black spots, the other part of the head orange; the mesothorax is extensively black; 
the forehips are spotted blue, the middle tarsi striped black; only the two first abdominal segments are orange, 
the others black, the 3rd to 5th laterally spotted orange. French Guiana. 
A. singularis Wkr. (19 i) is easily distinguished from sanguiceps by the black head and anterior half singularis. 
of the thorax; besides, the abdominal end is only faintly tinted blackish, so that the orange colour shines through. 
Amazon (Para). 
A. discoplaga Schaus (19 i) is black on the head, collar and most anterior part of the thorax, the discoplaga. 
vertex and base of the collar spotted silvery blue with a violet iridescence; the rest of the body is cchreous 
yellow, the 2 last abdominal segments black. Underside and legs yellow, tarsi partly black. On the hyaline 
wings the basal half of the costal margin, the median, vein 2, the base of vein 3, and the proximal margin are 
yellow; the rest of the veins and margins, as well as a large discal spot are black; the veins of the hind- 
wings are yellow, the margins black, the proximal margin with ochreous-yellow hair. Venezuela; also from French 
Guiana (St. Jean Maroni). 
A. sodalis spec. nov. (19 i) is very closely allied to the preceding and differs at once by the quite sodalis. 
black veins, the black, narrow proximal and costal margins, the absence of the discal and apical spots; only 
the extreme base of the wings is yellow. The last three abdominal rings are black, also underneath, whereas 
in discoplaga the ventral side remains yellow. -— From the original description of the latter which is before 
me only in a female example, the sex is not to be inferred; it is, therefore, not impossible that sodalis of which 
there is a male before me from French Guiana, is the dimorphous A of discoplaga. 
A. consobrina Wkr. (19 i). Body orange-yellow, head and thorax marked black; the first abdominal consobrina. 
segment exhibits black dorsal and subdorsal streaks, the last rings are blackish-brown with a purple lustre. 
The hyaline wings do not show any black spots at the apex and proximal angle; the base of the costal margin 
is orange. Amazon. 
A. mellina H.-Schdff. (19 k) has a yellow body. The hindhead is carmine with 2 white dots. A spot mellina. 
in the mesothorax and the borders of the shoulder-covers are black. Abdomen with black articular lines and 
median stripe, the latter being on the last ring expanded like a spot. Wings hyaline with fine black veins and 
margins; the forewing with yellow stripes at the costa and proximal margin; both wings with black apical 
spots. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Venezuela; Para. 
A. igniceps spec. nov. (19 k) differs from the preceding by only the upper part of the forehead igniceps. 
being scarlet; the hindheacl itself is yellow with a black middle spot; the collar is bordered with black; the 
spot-like expansion of the middle line on the last segment being absent. There is no black apical spot on the 
wings which are but extremely finely bordered with black; the distal half of the proximal margin of the forewing 
is yellow; costal and proximal margins otherwise black, only at the base spotted in a lemon colour. Hips spotted 
metallic bluish-green, legs yellow, only the posterior tibiae and femora, as well as all the tarsi above striped 
black. Described according to a $ from Peru (Marcapata, Bang-Haas). 
A. atridorsata Hmps. differs from mellina (19 k) by the orange-yellow spot being spotted black on alridorsata. 
the vertex, without any red, by the whitish ends of the antennae, the absence of the black articular lines on 
the abdomen. The black dorsal stripe forms transverse bands on the 2 last rings. On the forewings the costal 
margin is not orange. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. British Guiana. 
A. munda Wkr. (19 k) has an entirely orange-yellow body, the dorsal stripe running through across munda. 
the thorax and abdomen; each abdominal ring is black-curled, the collar and shoulder-covers are bordered 
with black. There are no discal nor apical spots on the wings. Amazon (Para). 
A. fulvisphex Druce (19k). Body orange yellow; forehead, collar, shoulder-covers and thorax striped fidvisphex. 
black; the four first abdominal rings exhibit a black median line with small, leaden-coloured spots in it, the 
third and fourth segments are finely bordered with black; black lateral spots on the middle segments. The 
hyaline wings have no discal spot, an orange-yellow costal and proximal margin. French Guiana (Cayenne; 
Nouveau Chantier). 
A. aequalis Wkr. (19 k) is recognizable by the orange-yellow discal spot of the forewing and by the aequalis. 
shoulder-covers in the middle, the thorax and collar being striped black; the whole body is orange-yellow, 
the antennae at the base black, otherwise orange. Costal and proximal margins of the forewings are orange, 
the fringes brownish. Venezuela; Amazon.
