PRUMALA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
deiopea. R. deiopea Drc. (44 d). From Honduras, has yet the scheme of markings of grotei , but at the apex 
a part of the white is strangulated as a large apical spot. 
flavomargi- R. flavomarginata Drc. (44 d). Forewing with a broad brown costal-marginal stripe filled with orange. 
nata. -p^ e p a ]f Q f the forewing is quite nut-brown, with a large, white oval spot behind the cell and smaller 
antemarginal spots. Hindwing with a broad brown margin interrupted in the submedian fold. Colombia. 
rockstonia. R. rockstonia Schs. (44 e). Costal stripe of the forewing broad yolk-coloured, the margins of the forewing 
otherwise nut-brown, similar as in the preceding, but the oblique stripe from the cell-end to the distal margin 
only indicated by the brown veins. Hindwing without a brown marginal band. From Colombia to Guiana. 
In typical specimens (from Essequibo) the costal-marginal stripe of the forewing is more golden-yellow, the 
lower part of the cell filled up with a smoky brown, the marginal band of the forewing projecting proximally 
at the median veins, the apical spots smaller, more distinct and of a purer white than in the figured specimen 
from Villavicencio (Colombia, Coll. Fassl). 
lefaivrei. R. lefaivrei Schs. (44 d). The yellow costal stripe of the forewing narrower, the whole cell of the 
forewing nut-brown, which colour is continued in the direction of the oblique transverse band occurring so 
often in the Robinsonia, as far as the middle of the disc. Hindwings preponderantly grey. Described from 
Rio de Janeiro, where, however, the species must be rare. 
irregularis. R. irregularis Rothsch. (44 e) is quite similar, but the white of the disc of the forewing is narrower, 
the yellow costal stripe scarcely noticeable, the hindwings white. From Cuyaba (Matto Grosso). 
polyplagia. R. polyplagia Schs. (44 e). Forewings yellowish-brown, traversed by dark veins and streaks between; 
1 silvery white spot each is below the cell, behind it and above the anal angle; two smaller, oval ones at the 
iransducens. apex. Hindwing white with a dirty brown inner-marginal shade. From Venezuela. — The form transducers 
form. nov. (44 e) shows a complete row of silvery white antemarginal rays; from Costa Rica; it thereby forms 
midtimacu- a transition to multimaculata Rothsch. (44 e) from Peru with a much larger silvery spot in the disc, a more 
,afn - steeply placed oblique band across the cell-end and a large silvery spot in the end-part of the cell of the forewing. 
— The species is apparently distributed over a great part of South America and the southern parts of 
South America, but everywhere rare. 
catasticta. R. catasticta Hmps. (44 e) is much smaller than the preceding; the 2 apical spots are confluent to 
one, so that 3 silvery white spots of decreasing size follow each other from the base of the forewing to the apex; 
below the middle spot there are 2 more, a dot before the middle of the border as well as the base and proximal 
margin of the forewing and the whole hindwing are white. Peru. 
scinea. R. sanea Drc. (44 e). Spots of forewings similarly arranged as in catasticta , but duller, very much 
enlarged and increased. Costa Rica to Colombia. Rare. 
banghaasi. R. banghaasi Rothsch. (44 f) on the contrary shows the white spots reduced except very minute 
punctiform spots below and behind the cell as well as before the apex; otherwise the whole forewing and the 
apical part of the hindwing are dirty brown. From Matto Grosso. 
suffusa. R. suffusa Rothsch. (44 f). In this form and the following the white spots of the forewing are not 
pure nor are they sharply defined from the dull brown ground of the wing, but the white colour is spread in 
long diffuse patches across the whole forewing except the proximal margin, costa and border. From Fonte 
Boa on the Upper Amazon. 
morula. R. morula Drc. (44 f). In this species the white of the forewing is reduced to a blurred, longitudinal, 
diffuse patch extending from the base towards the apex; it is interrupted before the apical fourth; hindwings 
in some places darkened; abdomen above grey with a row of yellow dots. Peru and Bolivia. 
klagesi. R. klagesi Rothsch. (44 f). ForeAving nut-brown with a broad, white longitudinal stripe through the 
middle, somewhat bent downward, from the base almost to the apex. Hindwings white, abdomen yello\A\ 
Colombia and Venezuela. 
longimacu- R. longimacula Schs. greatly resembles the following. The brown forewings with dark veins show a 
1(1 ‘ row of oblong, white, oval radiate spots from the apex to the lower median vein; in the submedian space there 
is a Avhite stripe, thickened in the middle, from the base to the border above the anal angle. Abdomen brown 
Avith a golden-yell oav dorsal stripe. Described from Joinville in Brazil. 
boliviana. R. boliviana sp. n. (44 f) is very much like the preceding, but instead of the oblong white Avedge- 
stripe filling up the Avhole submedian space of the forewing there is here a white oval beloAV the middle of the 
cell and a minute Avhite, darkened spot near the anal angle. The abdomen is aboA T e quite yelloAV with small, 
white dorsal dots. Rio Songo; discovered by Fassl; type in his collection. 
28. Genus: Priimala Schs. 
To this genus about 30 forms are reckoned, partly very much deviating from one another in the habitus. 
This is deffected by some species showing distinct resemblances to species of other genera, for Avhich reason
