M. postflava Schaus. Head, thorax, and the base of the abdomen are black; the rest of the abdomen poslflava. 
is orange-yellow above, brown beneath. The blackish-brown forewings with darker veins; at the base and 
middle of the proximal margin and antemarginally there are darker shades, at the costal margin before the 
middle a dark spot. Hindwings black with hyaline stripes in the disc. Expanse of wings: 29 mm. Rio de Janeiro. 
147. Genus: Apocerea Dyar. 
Likewise very near to Eucereon from which it differs by the uppermost subcostal vein of the forewing 
rising on a joint pedicle together with all the others; the upper radial comes from far below the upper cell-angle. 
On the hindwing, the upper median vein, the lower and middle radial vein, all come forth separated from near 
the lower cell-angle. The upper radial vein and the subcostal likewise rise separated from the upper cell-angle. 
A. sobria Schaus. Head and thorax dark grey, the neck yellow. The abdomen is above black, the sobria. 
3 last rings, with subdorsal interruptions, banded yellow, anus yellow. Forewings light grey with dark grey 
veins; antemeclian and postmedian, curved transverse lines, the latter being dentate towards the proximal 
margin; between the veins darker stripes. Hindwings greyish-black, at the base whitish. Expanse of wings: 
26 mm. French Guiana. 
148. Genus: CJorrebia H.-Schafj. 
Large, rather slender species with narrow wings, mostly coloured orange and bluish-black; the abdomen 
exhibits short hair-tufts at the sides and at the end; the long palpi are porrect, the terminal joint turned some¬ 
what downward. On the forewing, the upper median vein proceeds from the lower cell-angle, the lower and 
middle radial on a long pedicle from it. On the hindwing, the upper median vein rises before the lower cell- 
angle, whereas the lower and middle radial rise together, or on a short pedicle likewise from the lower cell-angle 
or above it. The lycoides- group most strikingly copies the genus of beetles Colobothea. 
C. bricenoi Rothsch. has the broadest forewings of all the species known. Head and thorax are of a dull bricenoi. 
orange-brown, forehead and vertex spotted black, thorax with a black median line. Palpi and antennae, abdomen 
and underside sooty black. Forewings orange-brown, a transverse antemedian band from the costa to the inner- 
marginal vein, the middle third of the proximal margin and the apical fifth are black. Hindwing sooty black, 
in the basal half semidiaphanous, at the costal margin 2 yellow spots. Length of forewings: d 21 mm, $ 22 mm.

C. oberthueri Hmps. (= lycoides Oberth.) (25 k) greatly resembles the following species, being recogni- oberthueri. 
zable by the black parts of the wings exhibiting minute, vertical dashes of a silvery blue, as well as by the 
black abdomen being partly suffused with blue. From Peru and Bolivia. 
C. lycoides Wkr. (25 k). This species initiates a small group of very similar species which are not lycoides. 
easy to discern, what is rendered still more difficult by the great variability, lycoides has narrower wings, 
coloured more yellow-brown; the cliscal band and the apical spot are of a rather pure dull black without the 
distinct, bluish-grey dusting in the cell-spaces; the apical spot does not extend as far as the proximal angle, 
but it is mostly rectilinearly cut off on the lower or already on the upper median vein. The margin of the rather 
light, diaphanous hindwing is narrow. The abdomen is above always black, the brown-yellow lateral stripe 
narrow. Very widely distributed from Mexico to Paraguay; also in Cuba and Jamaica. — In the form ceramboides ceramboi- 
H.-Schdjj. the ochreous-yellow colour is shaded by dark brown. des 
C. intermedia nom. nov. (— elongata Rothsch. nec Dogn.) is abont between lycoides and undulata ; it intermedia. 
has the black upperside of the abdomen and the narrow shape of the wings of lycoides, whereas the colouring 
of the wings is more like undulata. The sides of the 1st ring and a narrow lateral line from the segments 2 to 5 
are orange-brown. The black apical spot of the forewing is striped dull bluish-grey. Length of forewings: 
d 25 mm, $ 27 mm. Brazil (Sa. Catharina; Petropolis; Rio de Janeiro). — subsp. boliviana Rothsch. differs boliviano. 
by broad orange lateral stripes on the abdomen, a paler, more tawny ground-colour of the forewings, and an 
entirely black apical spot without any grey longitudinal stripes. Bolivia. 
C. undulata Druce (25 k) differs from lycoides by the forewings being somewhat broader, the ground- undulata. 
colour of a more orange tint, the black parts striped bluish-grey; the hindwings towards the margin blacker. 
On the whole, the orange colour on the abdomen is more extensive, and in the nomenclatural type, the lateral 
stripes on the 3rd and 4th rings are united to a yellow transverse band. But in a very great number of specimens 
from Mexico lying before me, I find all the transitions from the abdomen being above entirely black, as in
