0. atra Roihsch. Blackish-brown, thorax marked orange; forewing with a buff basal quarter and alra. 
buff subapical spot, both spotted reddish-yellow. Size of pronapides. Peru. 
0. tesselata Rothsch. Size of pronapides (43a); thorax lighter brown; in the forewing the basal tcssclala. 
third is pale buff with reddish rings; it is defined by a broad, red-brown transverse band; rest of wing lavender- 
grey, near the apex a buff spot encircled by red-brown and striated reddish. Hindwings buff, margined dark 
brown. In the Q the speckling of the forewing is more whitish and more distinct. Upper Amazon and Peru. 
16. Genus: Clarathis Grt. 
The 8 species forming this genus are very much alike, and their type of colouring strongly recalls that 
of most of the Ochrodota: over a pale yellow, dull ground-colour intense dark clouds are so profusely spread 
that they have almost entirely displaced this ground-colour on the forewing except small remainders at the 
apex, base and costal margin. Proboscis well developed; palpi bent up, but only very short, not reaching the 
forehead. antennae rather strong, doubly combed, more than half the length of the costa; thorax and basal 
part of abdomen densely and woolly haired. The venation of the forewing is just like in Baritius, but on the 
hindwing the subcostal despatches its branch behind the cell-end, not before it. 
C. palpalis Wkr. (42 k) is the largest species. Thorax dark wood-coloured, marked bone-white palpali*. 
on the collar and shoulders. Forewing deep dark brown, the basal area, a crescentiform excision of the marginal 
area, a large oviform spot in the middle of the costa and minute spots at the middle of the proximal margin 
bone-white; at the base, and at the middle of the costa brick-red embedments; hindwings and abdomen dark 
yellowish-brown. From Jamaica. 
C. byblis Schs. (42 k) from Mexico to South Brazil is very similar, but the brick-red embedments byblis. 
are absent. Abdomen above black, laterally orange, beneath greyish-yellow. Abdomen sooty black. 
C. affinis Rothsch. (42 k) differs from byblis almost only by the abdomen being laterally and posteriorly ajfinis. 
coloured red, and by the bone-white spotting extending from the costa of the forewing in a bow to the white 
yellow basal area. Peru. 
C. gortynoides Grt. from Cuba is almost exactly like af finis, but the marginal area is more narrowly gortynoides. 
spotted white, and the abdomen is laterally dull light brown. 
C. ockendeni Rothsch. (42 k) has an entirely unspotted, brown median area, posteriorly red abdomen ockendeni. 
and dull hyaline hindwings. Caraboya. 
C. australis Rothsch. on the contrary shows the chocolate-brown colour reduced to about 3 / 4 of the australis. 
surface of the forewing, wedge-shaped, being narrowest at the proximal margin. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. 
Hindwings greyish hyaline. South Brazil. 
C. klagesi Rothsch. from the Upper Amazon, has a pale buff thorax with a chocolate-coloured median tdagesi. 
line; abdomen also light buff, posteriorly darker. Forewing covered with a whitish yellow, with a net of chocolate- 
brown lines, from the costa through the apical 2 / 5 of the cell to the proximal angle; a broad, chocolate-brown 
band extends obliquely to the costa towards a narrower, irregular band. Smaller than australis. 
C. peropaca sp. nov. (43 a) is quite dark, the forewings deep brown, the hindwings sooty black, peropaea. 
Only at the bases of the wings yet traces of small light spots. Also the abdomen is above quite blackened except 
the end showing orange-yellow colouring. Captured by Fassl on the Upper Rio Negro in Colombia. 
17. Genus: ]Xeozati*eplies Dr. 
The only butterfly belonging hereto is immediately recognizable by the very peculiarly distorted net 
of veins of the forewing. The cell is quite small, narrow and irregularly shaped by the discocellulars, the 
lowest of which extends almost in the prolongation of the median. The first subcostal vein rises soon 
after the cell-end, the 3rd, 4th and 5th branch off with a common footstalk before the transverse vein, 
and this footstalk is angled in such a way that its rise forms the continuation of the upper discocellular. The 
radials, therefore, appear to rise at the lower cell-wall and are uncommonly long. Otherwise the insect makes 
the general impression of a moderately large Pachydota or Halisidota. 
N. telesilla Drc. (43 b). Head and thorax orange and brown, abdomen orange. Wings thinly scaled, telesilla. 
semi-transparent orange with rows of dark red dots; f> rather broad bands with irregularly undulate margins 
are brown: the distal one exhibits a silvery white line. Hindwings hyaline yellow. Sarayaeu (Ecuador).
