the median almost extends to the margin, near which it is expanded. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Peru. 
J. semicirculata Hmps. (35 f) greatly resembles peruviana, but the subapical band is almost longi¬ 
tudinal and more or less parallel to the median band; besides there is a transverse streak on the forehead, the 
distal half of the collar and the shoulder-covers being orange. In the $ there appears besides an orange, ante- 
marginal band extending to the proximal angle. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Ecuador, Bolivia. 
J. niutans Wkr. (35 f) is sufficiently characterized by the absence of the subapical band; the orange 
basal part is broad, upwards somewhat concave owing to the rounded black costal margin. On the hindwing 
the proximal margin and a discal longitudinal stripe are orange. — maculata form. nov. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) is 
spotted orange on the collar and mesothorax. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Amazon. 
J. abscissa Hbn. (= fixa Wkr., inconstans Btlr.) (35 d). Forewing similar like in the preceding, 
but besides with a subapical spot, the black with a blue reflection. The hindwing of the $ exhibits above below 
the cell-end a small orange spot being expanded beneath into a large orange spot; in the $ the hindwings are 
above quite black. Proximal margin in the $ orange, in the $ black. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Amazon. 
J. clavata Wkr. (35 e). Forewings with a decidedly club-shaped orange spot like in mutans, and 
only traces of a subapical spot. The hindwing exhibits only beneath a faint, orange stripe at the lower cell-end. 
Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Amazon. 
J. variana Btlr. (35 e) resembles immutata, but it is at once discernible by the black basal part of 
the forewing. The shoulder-covers are black, the orange lateral stripes very broad. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. 
Amazon. — suffusa form. nov. has black dusting in the disc of the hindwing and beneath quite orange abdomen. 
J. sexmaculata Btlr. (35 f). On the forewing like the preceding species, but the hindwing exhibits 
only an elliptic orange spot at the cell-end, being larger beneath. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Amazon. 
J. mutata Wkr. (35 f). Forewings somewhat similar to clavata, but the base and basal inner-marginal 
half broadly black. Hindwings above quite black, beneath with a small orange spot. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. 
Amazon. 
J. generans Wkr. (35 f). The orange spot of the forewing is reduced to an oblique spot in the middle, 
subapical spot small; hindwings quite black. — In obscura Btlr. the oblique spot is strongly narrowed and does 
not reach the subcostal above. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Amazon. 
J. erythromelas Wkr. (35 e) exhibits on the forewing only the triangular postmedian spot reaching 
downwards only to the submedian fold; there are above only faint traces of a subapical spot, beneath it is 
more distinct. Hindwing beneath with a small orange spot in the cell-end. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Amazon. 
J. caerulescens Hmps. (35 e) is distinguished by an intense blue lustre; the oblique spot of the 
forewing is light yellow and removed more towards the margin. Expanse of wings: <$ 38 mm, $ 46 mm. Colombia. 
J. batesi Fldr. (= entella Drc., quadrifascia Bothsch.) (35 f). From the preceding it differs by a 
broader orange stripe-band extending to the costal margin, and a small subapical spot. Hindwing beneath 
with an orange spot; abdomen laterally striped orange. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. British Guiana; Brazil. 
J. celena Wkr. '(= trajecta Wkr.) (35 f) greatly resembles batesi, but it has no subapical spot. 
Hindwings above and beneath quite black. In the $ the orange-yellow abdominal stripes only extend to the 
5th segment, in the $ to the terminal segment. —- purpurata Btlr. exhibits on the hindwing beneath a 
small orange spot. Expanse of wings: $ 30 to 34 mm, $ 40 mm. Distributed from Surinam, Brazil as far as 
Bolivia and Peru. 
140. Genus: Marsypopliora Hmps. 
Proboscis developed, palpi drooping and long haired; male antennae in the basal halves doubly combed, 
towards the tips ciliated. Posterior tibiae without any middle spurs. On the broad forewings all the subcostal 
veins are on a common footstalk; beneath the <$ exhibits a small scent-scale spot above the inner-marginal 
vein of the forewing. The hindwing is small, exhibiting above in the cell a hairy spot and below the median 
a hairy fold, beneath in the cell-end a swelling; the lower radial vein is absent. 
M. erycinoides Fldr. (35 g) is blackish-brown on its body and wings, on the venter white. The forewing 
exhibits in the proximal area a large, elliptic, orange spot. Hindwings light yellowish, at the border and sub- 
medianly blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Colombia.
