the upper cell-angle; the 3rd subcostal vein is absent, the uppermost anastomoses with the costal. On the 
hindwing the upper median vein coalesces with the lower radial; the middle one comes almost from the middle 
of the transverse vein, and the upper radial is petioled with the subcostal vein. 
S. pyrrhocrocis Fldr. (34 h) is unicolorously light metallic silvery blue, the hindwings somewhat more pyrrhocro- 
purple-blue; anal hairing and inner-marginal fringes of the hindwings in the $ orange; in the $ the anal angle 
is extended and long haired. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Colombia. 
S. coelicolor WJcr. is much smaller, the anal angle of the hindwing not extended. Expanse of wings: coelicoior.

S. plumbeola Hmps. (32 m) is quite unicolorously blackish-brown with a purple-grey lustre. Expanse plumber,la.

35. Genus: jSTodozsissji Hmps. 
Proboscis developed, palpi anteriorly projecting beyond the forehead, antennae of the G with ciliary 
pencils. On the forewing the median veins and lower radial veins rise separately from the lower cell-angle, 
the upper radial from below the upper angle; the $ is beneath roughly scaled on both wings. Hindwings like 
in Neozana, but the upper median and lower radial vein rise together from the same place in the lower cell- 
angle. 16 species, most of which have only been described in the last years. 
N. thricophora Hmps. (= polyzona Drc. part., lacteociliata Rothsch.) (34 g) is distinguished by the thricophora. 
hindwing beneath being below the cell provided with long-haired fringes, and by a hairy fold at the costal margin 
of the forewing beneath, terminating into a hairy knob in the middle of the costal margin. Forewing blackish- 
brown with 3 yellow spots, of which the postmedian costal-marginal spot is below spotted red. Abdomen 
and hindwing red, the latter with a black marginal band. Head and t horax are brown, vertex, collar, and shoulder- 
covers orange. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Panama; Venezuela. 
N. boliviana Rothsch. (32 m) is considerably smaller and of a paler colouring, owing to its being thickly boliviano,. 
scaled white. The spots on the forewing are larger, the postmedian ones flown together to a band bordered 
by brown lines. Expanse of wings: 12 mm. Bolivia. 
N. coresa Schs. (= prepielloicles Rothsch.) (34 g) greatly resembles thricophora, but the hindwings coresa. 
of the $ are beneath without any fringes. Colouring and marking otherwise almost the same, the postmedian 
spots confluent and forming in the Q a dentiform projection behind the red spot. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. 
Brazil (Amazon, Sao Paulo). 
N. rhodosticta Btir. (= rubripuncta Rothsch.) (34 g) is likewise very similar to the preceding, but rhodosticta. 
the G forewing is without the*hairy fold and the knob; instead of it, the inner-marginal area of the hindwing 
is expanded and provided with long and rough scales and fringes. On the forewing the basal spot extends almost 
to the costal margin. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Brit. Guiana (Orinoco); Surinam; Amazon. 
N. jucunda Jones (32 m). Head, collar, and tips of shoulder-covers light golden-yellow, thorax other- jucunda. 
wise coppery brown; abdomen carmine. Forewings coppery brown with golden-yellow spots margined by 
dark brown: a large one in the basal area, extending from the proximal margin almost to the costal margin, 
and two flown together to a postmedian band, with a red discal spot in them. Hindwings carmine. Expanse 
of wings: 18 mm. Brazil (Santos). 
N. pyrophora Hmps. (34 g) is distinguished by numerous blackish-brown scent-scale spots on the pyrophora. 
underside of the forewing: one in the middle of the cell and one at the cell-end and behind it, a hairy spot below 
it, and fringes in the middle of the costal margin. Body and wings yellowish-white; the forewings exhibit a 
black discal ,spot and a large, orange-red spot in the middle of the wing, which is parted by a streak of the 
ground-colour from the cell-end to the proximal margin. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Bolivia. 
N. fifi Dogn. has only one large scent-spot in, behind and below the cell-end on the under surface /i/7, 
of the forewing. Anterior body and forewings blackish-brown, head and collar, as well as the hindwings carmine, 
the latter with a broad black marginal band. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Ecuador. 
N. cocciniceps Dogn. differs by its almost quite red thorax; the forewings have a slight blue reflection, cocciniceps. 
and the marginal band of the hindwing is narrower. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Colombia. 
N. fifina Dogn. (34 f) likewise greatly resembles the two preceding, but it is smaller and of a more fifina. 
red-brown ground-colouring, on the forewings with a copper lustre; also the head and thorax are brown. The red 
hindwings are black-haired at the proximal margin. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Panama. 
N. xanthomela Drc. (34 f). Head, thorax, and the basal half of the forewing are orange-yellow, so .mnihomela. 
is the basal half of the costal margin; abdomen, and rest of the wings black. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Amazon. 
N. bellicula Schs. (34 f) is a smaller insect with whitish forewings with a red cell-spot, a broad, greyish- brllicula.
