brown, abdomen carmine. Forewings yellowish-white with brown striped veins and purple brown spots 
in the middle of the proximal margin and at the proximal angle. Hindwings carmine-rosy with a faded 
dark apical spot. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Amazon. 
C. variegata Wkr. (34 k) differs from the preceding by long, yellowish scales at the end of the abdomen. 
Head yellow and pink, collar carmine-rosy; thorax yellowish-white, spotted dark. Abdomen above scarlet, 
beneath yellow, with black bands. Forewings marked very much like in plicata, but of a yellowish-white ground¬ 
colour, the discal area very narrow. Hindwing scarlet with a black apical spot. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. 
Amazon to Peru. 
C. angusta Schs. (34k) is the smallest species. Head dark grey; thorax black, ends of shoulder- 
covers red. Abdomen above red, beneath yellowish. Forewings black, in the basal and marginal area striped 
in an isabel-colour between the veins, with a broad, yellow postmedian band with a red discal spot in it. Hind¬ 
wing orange with a black apex. Expanse of wings: 13 mm. French Guiana. 
44. Genus : Hypermaeplia Hmps. 
Proboscis well developed; the porrect palpi project beyond the forehead; antennae ciliated, above 
thickened by scales. Wings rather short and broad. On the forewing the upper median vein rises shortly before 
the lower cell-angle, the two lower radial veins from it, the upper one from the angle; the two lowest subcostal 
veins are petioled, the third being absent; the uppermost anastomoses with the costal. On the hindwing the 
upper median vein is petioled with the lower radial vein; the middle radial is absent; the upper one anasto¬ 
moses with the subcostal. Only 1 species is known. 
H. sanguinea Btlr. (34k) is brown on the head and thorax; the abdomen is above carmine with 
a black anal apex, beneath brown. Forewings brown; hindwings carmine with brown fringes and costal margin. 
Expanse of wings: 12 mm. Amazon, Rio -Jutahi. 
45. Genus: Oirysoelilorosia Hmps. 
From the preceding genus it differs by shorter palpi, shorter spurs on the tibiae, and longer, narrower 
wings with a round apex. On the forewing the veins are about the same, but the upper radial comes from 
below the upper cell-angle, and the 3rd subcostal vein is present. On the hindwing the cell is very long; the 
upper median anastomoses with the lower radial vein, the upper radial is petioled with the subcostal. 4 species 
distributed from Colombia across Ecuador as far as Bolivia. 
C. splendida Drc. (34 i). Body greenish-golden with a coppery and metallic blue lustre; the black 
antennae are white at their end a Forewings golden green, the margins of a deep blue, a similar short stripe 
at the subcostal base. Hindwings thinly scaled, bluish black, in the S suffused with a metallic green. The under 
surface is metallic green. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Ecuador and Bolivia. 
C. superba Drc. (34 i) greatly resembles the preceding, but it is somewhat smaller, the body of a 
pure metallic green, also the antennae which likewise have white tips; the last abdominal ring metallic blue. 
The abdomen is reddish beneath. The forewings are more orange golden with blue and green reflections, at 
the distal margin broadly bordered with black; fringes blue. Hindwings black. The under surface is greenish- 
black. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Colombia. 
C. magnifica Schs. (34 i). Likewise allied to splendida, but much smaller. Body metallic bluish-green. 
Forewings dark green, distal margin black, at a certain exposure to light with a blue reflection. Hindwings 
black with green fringes. The under surface is dark bluish-green. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Costa Rica. 
C. callistia Hmps. (34 i). Head, collar, and shoulder-covers golden green, thorax black, on the meso- 
thorax with a copper spot; abdomen golden green with coppery and metallic blue reflections. Forewings golden 
green, towards the base more coppery, margins, veins, and folds striped deep blue. Hindwings blackish-brown 
with a blue reflection, at the proximal margin golden green, at the distal margin blue. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. 
Bolivia. 
46. Genus: Otfozana Wkr. 
It contains quite a number of small, partly very similar species. Proboscis well developed; the short 
palpi protrude forward; antennae of the $ with ciliary bristles. The abdomen mostly exhibits on the sides 
of the second ring very long hair-tufts, on the last ring shorter ones. On the long, narrow forewings the upper 
median vein rises below, the middle radial vein rather far above the lower cell-angle; the upper radial comes 
from below the upper angle; the uppermost subcostal vein anastomoses with the costal. On the hindwing the 
upper median and lower radial are coalescent; the middle radial is absent, the upper one is petioled with the 
subcostal. 
0. floceosa Wkr. (= trichiura Fldr .) (34 i) is in the S' distinguished by the long black hair on the 
outside of the posterior tibiae. The proximal margin is strongly convex, and at the proximal margin of the
