HAEMANOTA; TESSELLOTA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
palpi being bent np before the forehead have a long middle joint, but a stunted terminal joint;the antennae 
in the rather long-combed. In the submedian fold the shows an oblong scent-spot below the middle of 
the cell on the forewing beneath; this spot is covered by a lobular indentation of the costal part of the hind¬ 
wing, by which formation the species approximates the Neritos from which, however, H amp sox separates it 
far, owing to the different subcostal system of the forewings. 
gutti palpis. G. guttipalpis Wkr. (= romula Drc.) (42 f). Body grey with an orange-yellow head and ventral end. 
Forewing grey with a white oblique oval, hindwing black with a white, somewhat diaphanous, wedge-shaped 
viiderwoodi. spot from the base. — In ab. underwoodi Rothsch. (42 f) the white spot of the forewing above is shaded with 
the ground-colour and shows but faintly through from beneath. — Costa Rica and Brazil; both forms fly together 
on the Orosi. 
ilavida. G. flavida Schs. Thorax and forewings greyish-brown; behind the head somewhat yellow. At the 
base of the proximal margin a dark yellow streak; at the cell-end a dark yellow oblique shade. Abdomen and 
hindwings dark yellow. Beneath the forewings are tinted yellow. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. From French 
Guiana. 
7>ieta.ran- G. metaxantha Schs. (42 f). Head orange with a black vertical dot. Palpi and legs brownish-grey; 
lha ‘ collar orange with small black spots. Thorax blackish-patagia inside bordered with yellow. Abdomen orange, 
before its end a black transverse band. Forewings dark brown, on the costa, in the cell and above the proximal 
margin pale streaks, as well as above vein 2. Behind the cell a white oblique band from the subcostal to vein 
3, near the margin. At the base, below the cell a long, pointed, white spot. Hindwing at the base and 
proximal margin yellow, distal part from the middle of the costa and from behind the anal angle black. Expanse 
of wings: 34 mm. Costa Rica. The species has a remote resemblance with certain Automolis {marginata- group). 
binotata. G. binotata Schs. resembles metaxantha ; the black-veined, grey forewing has below the cell a faded 
spot, behind the cell a large, whitish spot; hindwing at the base yellow, in the marginal area black. Abdomen 
yellow with a black dorsal stripe and end. 26 mm. British Guiana. 
8. Genus: Haeinaiiola Hmps. 
A small butterfly with unicolorously dark wings and red thorax. Proboscis strong, palpi long, obliquely 
bent up with a very long middle and short, conical terminal joint. The hindwing is without vein 5; on the 
forewing the cell is very long, the discocellular almost forms a right angle. No areola. 
cabana. H. cubana Rothsch. (43 b) is blackish-brown, thorax as well as the base of the forewing carmine. 
Guiana and Cuba. (According to Strand this form, not lying before us, is identical with Neritos sanguidorsia 
from Guiana, having been described by Schaus.) 
rubriceps. H. rubriceps Hmps. (43 b) is quite similar, somewhat larger, the wings broader, more dark slate- 
coloured, and the metathorax is not red, but dark blackish-brown like the abdomen. From South Brazil. 
9. Genus: Tessellota Hmps. 
To this genus belong 4 similar species apparently confined to the southern parts of South America; 
they are rather small, insignificantly coloured animals. Proboscis and palpi are stunted, antennae in the $ 
combed, in the $ almost plain. Forewing with a very long cell. Abdomen brightly coloured, with 3 rows of dots. 
sertata. T. sertata Berg (= apiola Drc.) (42 f). The most common species. Bone-coloured, the forewing 
decorated with distinct, small brown circles and with a brown, irregular wedge-shaped spot beginning before 
the distal third at the costal margin and extending across the middle of the wing, gradually widening, to the 
proximal margin. Abdomen above orange with median and lateral rows of dots, beneath white. South Brazil, 
Uruguay and Argentina; the figured specimen I took at Buenos Ayres on a lantern in February. 
trifasciata. T. trifasciata Burm. (42 f). Instead of the brown cuneiform spot, 3 irregular, pale brown bands 
cross the forewing. Argentina. 
cancellata. T. cancellata Burm. greatly resembles the preceding in the colouring, but only one band, straight 
through the middle of the wing, is developed. Brownish spotting at the base of the costa and in the middle 
of the margin. Size of the preceding. Argentina. 
apostala. T. apostata Schs. from Castro in the Brazilian State of Parana, presumably scarcely belongs to this 
genus, for the proboscis being developed in the other Tessellota is stunted, and on the forewing the veins 8 and 9 
are fused. Black; 2 spots on the hindhead, collar, the last abdominal ring and dull spots on the preceding ones 
orange. Legs and the antennae with long, double combs are black. Forewings semi-diaphanous black, thinly 
scaled, tinted brownish. Hindwings black, almost opaque. 29 mm.
