ATYPHOPSIS; ANAPHLEBIA; SCIOPSYCHE; NAP AT A. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
98. Genus: Atyplaopsis Btlr. 
The surest distinguishing marks are the lower radial veins rising petiolated on the fore- and hindwings. 
The upper radial rises on the hindwings far below the upper cell-angle. The abdomen exhibits a rough hairing 
at the base and lateral tubercles at the first segment. 
modesta. A. modesta Btlr. (21b). Head black; hindhead, collar, foremost prothorax, and the middle abdominal 
rings are orange; the thorax and two first segments grey, the two last ones black. Wings very thinly scaled, 
yellowish-grey with darker veins. Guiana to the Amazon. 
roseiceps. A. roseiceps Druce (21 b). Like modesta , but the body is darker greyish-brown, and the hindhead, 
spots on the shoulders, and the middle abdominal rings are rosy red. Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Santos). 
obscura. A. obscura Hmps. (21 b) is cprite unicolorously brownish, on the hindhead and anus somewhat more 
yellowish. Darker brownish spots are in the middle of the cell and at the transverse vein, an indistinct oblique 
band being interrupted on the lower radial vein is behind the cell, and one before the margin. The hindwings 
are very thinly scaled in the disc. From Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul). 
99. Genus: Anaplilebia Fldr. 
Only one small species which greatly reminds us of Teucer albapex (19 1) by the long and jDointedly 
extended anal angle of the hindwing in the On the forewings the lower radial veins are petiolate, the upper 
one rises from the upper cell-corner, the 1st subcostal vein from the cell. On the hindwings the 1st median 
vein and the lower radial veins proceed from the same place and are thickly scaled on the under surface; the 
costal vein is present as a rudiment. In the $the anal angle is not extended and the veins of the hindwings 
are quite different, the 1st median vein being absent, and the lower radial veins rising on long-pedicles; the 
scaling of these veins on the under surface is of course likewise absent. 
caudatula. A. caudatula Fldr. (21 c) has a black bcdy with small white spots on the palpi, forehead, collar, 
shoulders and forehips. The abdomen shines faintly blue, and exhibits on the first segment subdorsal white 
spots, on the other rings a whitish median line. The venter of the $ is white. The hyaline wings have very 
broad black margins. The antennae are long-combed in the <$, in the $ short-combed. We figure the $ having 
not been described hitherto, from Pebas; Felder’s type, a <$, likewise originates from the Amazon. 
100. Genus: Sclopsyclie Btlr. 
Only few species with the antennae being particularly in the d remarkably long doubly combed, the 
serration being very strong, at the ends thickened to clubs and being very dense; the strong shaft of the 
palpi is thickly covered with scales. The obliquely erect palpi project beyond the head. The wings are 
long and narrow; on the hindwings the upper median vein rises with the lower radial veins from the same 
place of the lower cellcorner, on the forewings the upper radial vein rises from below the uj^per cell-corner, 
the subcostal vein from the cell. 
tropica. S. tropica Wkr. (= cinerea Btlr.) (21 b). Black, the wings thinly scaled, the hindwings in the disc 
diaphanous; on the forewing, below the median at the base, there is a metallic bluish-green spot, on the hindwings 
the veins exhibit a metallic green lustre. The black abdomen exhibits broad, metallic green lateral stripes and 
white sublateral spots with a green lustre. Distributed from Mexico (Orizaba, Misantla: August to October) 
through Central America (Honduras, Colombia) as far as Brazil (Amazon, Para, Espiritu Santo). 
rcmissa. S. remissa Dogn. Body pale yellowish, the neck bordered with a darker yellow. Forewings isabel- 
coloured, veins, cell-end and margins light yellow. Hindwings white, bordered with light yellow. Expanse of 
wings: 29 to 32 mm. Venezuela. 
auranti- S. auranticauda Klages. Head, thorax, legs and the 4 first abdominal rings above are black, the rest 
caada. G f tb e abdomen and lateral spots on the 4th segment are orange. Forewings very thinly scaled'blackish-brown 
with black veins and very fine margins. Hindwings semi-diaphanous, at the border and innermarginal part 
more densely and irregularly scaled brownish-black. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Venezuela. — On account 
of slight differences of the neuration, it will later on perhaps be necessary to establish a special genus. 
101. Genus: Aapata Wkr. 
About 30 small to medium-sized species, often decorated with very lustrous metallic colours. The 
smoothly scaled abdomen exhibits a slight elevation at the sides of the base. The lower cell-end of the hindwing 
is much longer than the upper one; on the long, narrow forewings the upper radial rises from the upper cell-
