95. Genus: Autichloris Hhn. 
Like the preceding genera, but whereas there the lower median vein of the hindwing rises together 
with the upper one from the lower cell-corner, it here rises distinctly below it. 
A. quadricolor Wkr. (20 k) greatly differs from all the species by the deep metallic blue colour, orange-

A. eriphia F. (= alecton Cram., phemonoe Him., melanochloros Sepp, scapularis H.-Schdff., lielus 
H.-Schaff.) (20 k) is black with a deep green bronze lustre; in the neck two red dots. The abdomen shows some¬ 
what lighter green dorsal and lateral stripes; on the 2nd segment laterally a white dot; sublateral white stripes. 
The costal-marginal area of the hindwing is light brownish-grey in the A- From Venezuela to Paraguay and in 
Trinidad. 
A. nigrolineata Rothsch. (20 k) is at. once discernible from eriphia by its broad, jet-black subdorsal 
stripes on the coppery abdomen. Head and spots on the black thorax are metallic green. Length of forewings: 
20 mm. Venezuela. 
A. scudderi Btlr. (20 k) differs from eriphia by its deep blue ground-colour with a purple lustre. 
From Para. 
A. atrinervis Rothsch. Very near to scudderi. Head and thorax are velvety bluish-black, with lustrous 
bluish-green spots; neck carmine. Abdomen black with dorsal and lateral coppery green stripes; sublaterally 
there are broad white bands, and the 3rd ring shows white lateral spots. The forewings are bronze-green in the

area grey, otherwise blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Amazon (Teffe). — subsp. steinbachi Rothsch. 
is of a lighter and more brilliant green on the forewings, and the hindwings are of a pure black. Bolivia. 
A. purpurea Lathy, according to the description, seems to be allied to Eriphioides ecuadoriensis having 
been described above, which, however, according to the neuration, is certainly no Autichloris, and likewise 
; purpurea.
