E. demonis Druce (20 cl). Body blackish-brown; on the hindhead, on the dorsum of the first segment demonis. 
and at the sides of the fourth segment carmine spots. The brown forewings with black veins are spotted darker 
brown in the cell, before the proximal angle and before the apex, and exhibit hyaline spots in the cell-end 
and behind the cell between the upper median and 4th subcostal vein. The hyaline hindwings are broadly 
margined by black. Panama (Chiriqui; Lino). 
E. littoralis Rothsch. Greyish-brown, the head with a blue lustre, the palpi and thorax with a bluish- littoraUs. 
green opalescence, the abdomen laterally with a slight green lustre. Legs greyish-brown, only the hips and 
the outside of the tibiae with a green lustre; antennae black. Forewings purple-brown; hindwings greyish- 
brown with a blue lustre, in the disc lighter and diaphanous, the proximal angle long-stretched. In the $ the 
hindwings are normal, darker brown, without any blue lustre. Length of forewings: 19 mm, $ 17 mm. 
Venezuela. 
E. scintillans Rothsch. (20 d). Most similar to the preceding species, from which it differs by a much scintillans. 
more intense and more extensive metallic bluish-green on a darker ground, the colour of the body being here 
more blackish-brown, the abdomen above of a deep black with a purple lustre, laterally metallic bluish-green, 
the forewings darker, with a more purple-blue lustre, the hindwings blackish-grey, not greyish-brown. All 
the legs with a green lustre, the hips of an intense metallic bluish-green, antennae deep purple. Venezuela, 
Guiana, Amazon. 
90. Genus: Amtrocliarta Fldr. 
It contains well marked species of more than medium size, with very broad forewings; the distal margin 
is almost as long as the costal margin, the proximal margin very short. The hindwings are very small, in the 
pointed and peculiarly distorted and somewhat basin- shaped, the proximal angle drawn forth to an isolated, 
small lobule; the veins strongly curved and near each other. 
A. rubricincta Burra. ( = leechi Druce ) (20 e) has the abdomen above curled red and black, large rubricincia. 
white spots on the shoulder-covers, small metallic blue dots on the head, collar, bases of wings, metathorax, 
and on the black abdominal rings. The brown forewings exhibit 4 small, white spots, the brownish hindwings 
show a broad, white marginal part. Brazil (Amazon, Sa. Cruz), Argentina. 
A. meones Cr. (= compta Sepp, meonioides H.-Schaff.) (20 e) differs from diversipennis by large, meones. 
white spots on the shoulders, and the hyaline spots behind the cell are mostly larger. Colombia, Amazon, 
Venezuela, Surinam. 
A. giganteum Druce is twice as large as meones which it otherwise greatly resembles. The hindwings giganteum. 
of the are silvery white, without the black margin, also longer and more pointed. Both sexes are without 
the red median band across the abdomen. Rio Napo. 
A. klagesi Rothsch. differs from meones by its smaller size, light liver-coloured forewings and much klagesi. 
smaller hyaline spots. Hindwings yellowish. Length of forewings: 18 to 19 mm. Rothschild considers this 
animal to be a good species, because it flies together with meones at the same places. Venezuela, in December 
and January. 
A. cassotis Druce (20 d). Black; forehead, collar, metathorax and legs spotted metallic blue; abdomen ecissotis. 
subdorsally and sublaterally with series of blue spots. The black forewings exhibit blue dots at the base and 
at the cell-angles; red stripes are subcostally, in the cell-end, in the submedian space and at the proximal 
margin. Behind the cell there is a broad, orange-yellow oblique band from the proximal margin to the 1st median 
vein. Hindwings in the grey, at the proximal margin black, in the $ with a carmine spot behind the cell; 
the $ is without the red cellular stripes of the forewing. Expanse of wings: J 44 mm, $ 56 mm. Ecuador, 
Amazon. 
A. diversipennis Wkr. (= parvipennis Btlr.) (20 e). The blackish-brown abdomen exhibits carmine diver .sip en¬ 
dorsed spots (in the only on the two first segments), as well as subdorsal rows of large, metallic blue spots, 
and sublateral red spots on the 3 first segments. On the forewing there is beside the large hyaline spot behind 
the cell in the $ a round hyaline spot below the middle of the cell which is absent in the <$. Hindwing in the 
S white, in the $ with a broad, blackish-brown border. Venezuela, Brazil, Peru. — The species varies consi¬ 
derably. In ab. brasiliensis Btlr. the $ is without the hyaline spot above the middle radial. - —- claripennis Btlr. brasiliensis.

red spots, the $ has only two red dorsal spots. 
A. stretchi Btlr. (20 f) has quite black forewings with a cuneiform hyaline spot in the cell being all stretchi.
