N. repanda Wkr. (== carnea Weym., diversa Rothsch.) (46 d) is likewise very similar to drucei rcpanda. 
(46 e), but it differs by the apical disc of the forewing not being smoothly margined and somewhat removed 
from the border; the $ hindwing below the apex very much retracted, light yellow, with a rosy hue. In the 
$ the apical spot flows together with the basal dark brown, as in many others of the genus, whilst in drucei 
and fassli it remains far apart. South Brazil: Rio, Santos. 
N. pandera Schs. (= ampla Dogn.) (46 e), from Guiana and Venezuela, has the oblique band of the pandora. 
forewing still much broader than all the others and almost cpiite hyaline; the brown inner area lighter at the 
base and proximal margin; hindwings yellow. 
N. purpureotincta Joicey (46 e). As large as abdominalis (46 g). The basal chocolate-brown extends purpurco- 
here to the middle of the costa and to the border above the anal angle, towards the pearl-white apical part 
finely bordered with red, the apical part towards the apex faintly tinted ochreous; the apical disc rather large, 
elliptic, purple grey, finely encircled with red, extending down to the lower radial, Hindwings whitish, tinted 
dull pink, particularly in the inner area. Beneath the hindwing has a purple-pink costa. French Guiana, based 
upon 1 <$ captured by Le Moult. 
N. gaudialis Schs. (46 c). Instead of the apical disc, a broad, dark violettish-brown distal band extends uaudialis. 
from the costa towards the proximal angle of the forewing, where it is fused with the basal brown, leaving a 
large costal triangle and the border yellow. French Guiana. 
N. carmen Schs. (46 e) entirely resembles gaudialis, but before the middle another yellow band carmen. 
crosses the forewing. Hindwings blackish-brown, at the costa and proximal margin lighter. French Guiana. 
N. coccinea Schs. Entirely like the preceding, distinguished only by the subbasal yellow band coccinea. 
being divided into 3 spots, and the abdomen not being brown but yellow with a rosy tint. Likewise French 
Guiana. 
N. kennedyi Rothsch. (46 f). Smaller and with more pointed wings than the preceding; not the whole kcnnedyi. 
margin of the forewing is yellow, but there remain only yellow marginal spots at the apex and between the 
median veins. Hindwings not dark brown, but quite light pink. Minas Geraes. Brazil. 
N. cotes Drc. (46 f). Almost exactly like gaudialis (46 e), but the yellow border projects triangularly coles. 
towards the disc, above the proximal angle. Thereby similar to the total exterior of onytes. Central America. 
N. flavorosea Wkr. In the £ the forewing has a violettisli-red oblique shade from the middle of the flarorosca. 
costa to the middle of the border; otherwise the colour of the forewings is purple violet. Hindwings orange- 
yellow. The 9 has an orange-yellow triangular spot at the middle of the costa and of the border. Mexico and 
Honduras. 
N. flaviniargo Joicey from the Rio Ucayali in the Amazon District resembles the following species, ftavimargn. 
but it is a little smaller. The costal yellow triangle extends into the purple-brown forewing as far as the trans¬ 
verse vein; it is continued at the costa, bends round at the border which it leaves very narrowly yellow, this 
colour projecting in the middle of the border very little into the wing. Hindwings yellow with a faint rosy tint; 
abdomen above purple-red, below white. 
N. sardinapalus Rothsch. (46 f). Smaller than the preceding, recognizable by the yellow costal spot sardinapa- 
of the forewing and particularly the marginal yellow being strongly confined, widening scarcely appreciably l,,s ' 
between the median veins. Upper Amazon and Peru. 
N. tremula Schs. (= subgaudialis Rothsch.). Easily recognizable by the brownish-grey forewings tremula. 
being vividly marked with small transverse streaks. Before the middle of the costal margin a small, sacciform, 
yellow spot, and a similar coniform spot above the anal angle of the forewing. Hindwings scarlet like the abdomen 
above. Size of cotes. French Guiana. 
N. cardinalis Dgn. (46 e). Body and wings purple pink. Forewing with an antemedian, whitish- cardinalis. 
yellow transverse band being narrower in the $, and whitish-yellow triangular spots behind the middle of the 
costa and above the anal angle; also in the apex a similar small spot of a variable size. Colombia (Muzo). 
N. steniptera Hmps. (= basalis Rothsch.) (46 f). Fore wings coloured as in tremula and indistinctly > tenipfera. 
striated; in the basal part yellow embedments marked red, above the anal angle small, bone-white spots. Hind¬ 
wings yellowish, marginal half dull black. Guiana to Bolivia. 
N. ockendeni Rothsch. (46 f) greatly approximates steniptera , but it seems to fly in the same district orhcndcni. 
(Guiana to Peru); forewings somewhat more distinctly spotted, and the dark marginal band of the hindwings 
narrower. 
N. holophaea Hmps. (46 g). Unicolorously sooty black, abdomen and hindwings faintly reflecting hotophaca. 
bluish. Only the male scent-pencil on the under surface is white. French Guiana. By its exterior being uni- 
colorous, it resembles numerous Arctiids and Syntomids of its range.
