CORREBIDIA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
149. Genus: Correbidia Hmps. 
The species greatly resemble those of the preceding genus, except the broader shape of the wings and 
the costal margin being very much bent, but there occur transitions, and the veins being not constant at all 
in long series of specimens, the termination is rather dimmed. The upper median vein of the forewing recedes 
from the lower cell-angle, and the pedicle of the lower and middle radial disappears more or less, whilst on the 
hindwing the upper median vein and lower radial approach each other, the middle radial rising in a bent shape 
from above the cell-angle. 
C. notata Btlr. (26 a) is easily recognizable by the blackish-brown forewing with a diaphanous, whitish notatu. 
postmedian band extending only to the lower median vein and being tinted yellow towards the costa, with 
a yellowish spot below it and one at the costal base. Hindwing diaphanous black-brownish, towards the base 
whitish. On the blackish-brown body the palpal base, sides of the head, collar, hips, and lateral stripes on 
the first abdominal rings are orange-yellow, of the same colour is the ventral side on the first rings, which are 
then followed as far as the end by sublateral stripe-like spots. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Amazon. 
C. assimilis Rothsch. resembles notata (26 a) from which it differs by the base of the forewing being assimilis. 
much more extensively reddish-brown, and by a buff, not whitish band of the forewing. 
C. similis Rothsch. resembles the two preceding species, but it is much larger, and the basal area and similis. 
band of the forewing are much more extensive and more red-brownish. Venezuela; Peru; Trinidad. 
C. steinbachi Rothsch. is still larger than similis, the ground-colour of the forewing varying from steinbachi. 
buff to orange-brownish; the black band of the forewing and the apex are more indistinct and more or less 
obsolete. Length of forewings: 17 mm. Bolivia, Amazon (Fonte Boa). 
C. simonsi Rothsch. resembles the preceding, but the black transverse band and the apex are distinctly simonsi. 
prominent and sharply defined, the ground-colour pale reddish buff. Bolivia and Peru. 
C. tristitia Kaye. Palpi black, 1st and 2nd joint below ochreous-yellow; forehead and neck ochreous- tristitia. 
yellow, mixed with a dull brownish-black; base of shoulder-covers ochreous-yellow, behind it dark brown. On 
the forewing the base, a broad band, and an apical spot are purple black; a basal band and a postmedian one 
are yellow; the latter is expanded towards the proximal margin and is undulate on the upper median vein. 
Hindwing diaphanous dull-ochreous-yellow with a triangular, dark spot at the costa; distal margin purple black. 
Expanse of wings: 33 mm. British Guiana. In this species, being unknown to me, the description of the 
abdomen is absent . 
C. calopteridia Btlr. (26 a) differs from notata by its paler yellow and reduced ground-colour; the calopte- 
base of the forewing is black, the last abdominal rings are beneath yellow except the anal apex remaining black. ridia. 
French Guiana; Para; also from Peru (Chanchamayo and Pachitea). 
C. klagesi Rothsch. is distinguished from calopteridia (26 a) by much longer and narrower forewings, klagesi. 
with a much lighter, whitish base and transverse band, the ground-colour being much bluer. Venezuela, Surinam; 
Amazon (Fonte Boa, Codajas, Iquitos). 
C. terminalis Wlcr. (= cimicoides H .-Schaff., calopteridia Druce nec Btlr.). The name-type from terminalis. 
Cuba has orange-yellow forewings with a narrow discal band and apical spot of a bluish-black colour. — In 
the common continental form continentalis subsp. nov. (26 a) from Mexico to Venezuela, the discal band is contihen- 
broader, the proximal margin being also darkened brownish-black. The bases of the wings remain orange, 
the abdomen is black beneath at the end. 
talis. 
C. elegans Druce (26 b). The forewing is reddish orange with a black apical spot, the hindwing semi- elegans 
transparent with a broad, brownish-black marginal part. Head and thorax orange, abdomen blackish-brown 
with orange lateral stripes. Occurring in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama. — In subsp. meridionalis Rothsch. 
the veins and margins of the black apical spot by the deeper orange-brown colour contrast with the lighter 
ground. Ecuador. 
meridiona¬ 
lis. 
C. costinotata Schaus. Head and thorax orange-yellow, forehead, antennae, and a median stripe on costinotata. 
the thorax black. Abdomen and legs black, hips, bases of femora, and a lateral stripe on the 3 first rings orange- 
yellowish. Forewings brownish orange with a large, purple black apical spot being proximally irregularly defined, 
and a small black spot at the middle of the costal margin; at the base of the proximal margin a black stripe. 
Hindwings yellowish-white, the proximal and distal margins suffused with blackish. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. 
Costa Rica. 
C. striata Druce (26 a) is immediately recognizable by the reddish-orange forewings growing.somewhat striata. 
darker towards the margin and exhibiting here, between the lower radial veins, a black streak; the middle 
of the proximal margin is black. Nicaragua; Panama.
