one on the submedian somewhat angular, the distal one on the middle radial; the proximal half is darker brown 
than the distal half; in the marginal area a dark, hazy shade touching the discal band in the middle. Hindwing 
whitish, with a grey discal spot and marginal band. Expanse of wings: 10 mm. Cuba. 
A. ydatodes Dyar (35b) is very much like the preceding, but with much hazier markings; the white 
ground-colour is dusted grey, the border-lines of the discal band more indistinct. Expanse of wings: 10 mm. 
Florida. 
A. ciliata Hmps. is very much like sceletozona, the body entirely white, forewings tinged light orange- 
yellow; the marking is otherwise the same. Hindwings white with traces of undulate, discal and postdiscal 
lines; at the margin and beneath darkened by black scales. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Costa Rica. 
A. melicerta Drc. (35 b) is the largest species of the genus and very distinctly marked. Forewing 
silvery white, without a discal band, but instead of it in the middle of the costal margin a large, triangular 
spot with a round, lower point; at the distal margin a dark brown spot. Palpi, forehead and antennae black, 
under surface and abdomen blackish. Hindwings white with an indistinct discal spot and a slightly darkened 
apex, in the $ dusted darker. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Costa Rica. 
A. coagulata Dyar (35 c) is somewhat smaller than the preceding, the costal-marginal spot more 
four-cornered, below not round; the black markings on the forewing very narrow, fine and dentate. Expanse 
of wings: 18 to 20 mm. Mexico. 
A. amphithrepta Dyar (35 c) and the following are distinguished by much scantier markings. Forewings 
silvery white; two thirds of the costal margin are occupied by a broad, purple-blackish shade crossed behind 
the base by a white streak, and bordered with black. Before the apex at the costal margin a black curved 
streak; at the distal margin a shade projecting in the middle as far as below the cell; above and below it one 
black dot each; base somewhat yellowish; an antemeclian line, curved like a sling, runs from the proximal 
margin to the cell. Hindwing whitish, with a grey margin and discal spot. Expanse of wings: 15 mm. Province 
of Salta (Argentina). 
A. melampages Dyar (35 c) differs from the preceding by a much larger, more distinct, four-cornered 
costal spot touching the marginal spot. Hindwings more smoky-grey. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Brazil: 
Sao Paulo. 
A. melenita Dogn. (35 c). Forewings white, with brown markings. In the first quarter of the costal 
margin there is a dot; in the middle a broad, square spot rounded below and before the apex a small moon-spot; 
the other marking similar as in the others. Hindwing white, at the margin blackish. Expanse of wings: 11 mm. 
French Guiana. 
A. zoephila Dyar (35 c) is very much like the preceding, larger, with angularly broken lines in 
the basal area, those of the preceding being absent. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Mexico. 
A. oligoglotta Dyar (35 c) is characterized by a semicircular yellowish costal-marginal spot bordered 
dark, below it the basal area is white; there are no subbasal linear markings, only at the base of the costal margin 
there is a purple-brown triangular spot; the other markings similar as in the preceding; the marginal spot covers 
the whole proximal angle and extends proximally as far as the cell-end; in the middle of the proximal margin 
a black sagittjform spot. Expanse of wings: 14 to 15 mm. Brazil: Castro (Parana). 
A. polyglotta Schaus (35 c) differs from the preceding by the yellow colouring of the basal area below 
the costal spot in which there is a subbasal linear marking; the distal line, at its subcostal distal curve above 
the angle of the brown spot, forms a spot; markings well developed. Costa Rica. 
A. superciliosa Dyar ( — melicerta ab. 1 Hmps.) differs from the preceding by less developed markings; 
the subcostal spot is absent; at the proximal margin of the purple marginal spot there runs a narrow black 
line forming an incomplete eyespot-marking towards the apex; in the basal third of the proximal margin there 
is a dentate line forming a sling which encloses an orange spot at the base. Expanse of wings: 15 mm. Sao 
Paulo. 
A. claricosta Dyar (35 c). In this species and the following the middle costal spot is entirely absent. 
Forewings silvery white; at the costal margin 3 minute black spots and an arcuate streak before the apex. 
Marginal area like in the preceding; basal area unmarked. Hindwing dusted grey, margin and discal spot darker. 
Expanse of wings: 10 to 12 mm. French Guiana. 
A. zolda Dyar (35 c) is very much like the preceding, but in the basal area of the forewing there 
is a doubly broken, blurred linear marking. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Mexico. 
55. Genus: Euxeugapteryx Dyar. 
Proboscis stunted; palpi short and slender; male antennae ciliated. On the forewing the upper median 
and the two lower radial veins are all separated, the upper radial vein from below the upper cell-angle; the 
two lower ones as well as the two upper subcostal veins are on pedicles, the 3rd is absent. The <$ shows beneath 
ydatodes.
