HAPLONERITA; SCHALLOTOMIS. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
parnelli. P. parnelli Schs. (46 k). From Costa Rica; it lias violettish-brown forewings marked red above the 
proximal margin, with yellow costal triangles at the costa and at the border above the anal angle; hindwing 
yellow with a broad, black marginal band. Posterior femora of the $ very stout. The figured specimen from 
the Orosi. 
metachry- P. metachryseis limps. (46 k) is quite similar, the yellow spot in the middle of the costa smaller, that 
seis • above the anal angle larger; in the hindwing the whole distal half is black. Guiana. 
guianensis. P. guianensis Joicey is also similar, but smaller, and the hindwings are above red-brown, at the 
proximal margin narrowly yellowish. British Guiana. 
maihani. P. mathani Roihsch. (46 k) is of a lighter colouring, the yellow spots of the forewing at the costa 
and border enlarged and some more yellow spots above the proximal margin and at the base. Hindwing yellow 
with a black marginal band. From Teffe (Ega) on the Amazon. 
methaemia. P. methaemia Schs. (46 k). A very small species; the yellow spots on the forewing are small and 
reduced in number, hindwing purple-red without a marginal band. Guiana. 
af finis. P. affinis Rothsch. (46 k). Forewings unicolorously brownish dusty-grey, hindwings pink, costa, 
costal margin and apex dark grey; middle of the abdominal dorsum pink, too. Colombia to Guiana and Brazil. 
sisenna. P. sisenna Drc. is almost exactly like parnelli (46 k), but the yellow costal spots are quite small, 
the hindwings are red instead of yellow, and their whole distal halves black. Espiritu Santo, and Peru. 
cinerea. P. cinerea Rothsch. Size of the preceding, but the hindwings larger and longer. Quite dirty brownish- 
grey, wings at the border darker; the forewing also at the cell-end darker, above the end of the proximal margin 
before tire border somewhat lighter. Fonte Boa in the Amazon District. 
f/riseotinc- P. griseotincta Rothsch. (46 k). Only the size of methaemia, but the forewings dark brown without 
fa - spots and the hindwings unicolorously blackish-brown. Surinam. 
schausi. P. schausi Rothsch. (46 k). Dull straw-coloured with darker transverse bands of the forewings before 
and behind the middle, between them fainter yellow lines. A somewhat larger species; Fonte Boa (Amazon). 
griseata. P. griseata Rothsch. (46 k) from the same district as schausi, but smaller, the forewing greyish 
with whitish veins and small white spots, placed in the shape of a Y, enclosing the cell-end; hindwing white 
with a narrow brownish border. It somewhat resembles several Syntomidae ( Eucereon ). 
syntomoi- P. syntomoides Rothsch. (46 k) entirely resembles certain Syntomidae (Dycladia ). Forewings with 
cles - ante- and postmedian, discal vitreous patches, hindwings yellowish with a narrow black border. Surinam. 
lobotci. P. lobota Dgn. resembles certain Arctiids ( Premolis, Prumala, Eupseudosoma) ; the bright, yellowish- 
red forewing exhibits a light yellow distal-marginal part, extending semicircularly from the border below the 
apex along the costa and discocellular and then towards the anal angle. Easily distinguishable by the very 
small whitish hindwing of the with a very short costal margin and twice as long proximal margin, the latter 
being tinted pink above and exhibiting a short scent-fur beneath. Size of schausi. Colombia. 
42. Genus: Haploiierita limps. 
Based upon 1 male butterfly. Distinguished from the preceding genus by the areola in the forewing, 
from the other allied genera by the strongly angled discocellular in the (very large) hindwing. The genus is 
presumably naturally allied to Araeomolis or Hyperandra. 
simplex. H. simplex Rothsch. (43 c). Body and wings quite purple, the forewings darker with a yellow border 
being narrow in the middle, the hindwings lighter, more'pink. Surinam. 
43. Genus : ftcliallotoinis limps. 
The two species for which H amp sox established the genus, have very little in common, and their affinity 
would first have to be proved. Both are remarkable for the early bifurcation of the subcostal in the hindwing, 
and for the absence of the areola in the forewing; in roseothorax, however, the median veins are distorted to 
such an extent that the lower one, at its rise, takes first the direction towards the middle of tire submedian, 
then turns towards the border and terminates at the border quite close at the termination of the submedian. 
In the palpi the terminal joint is almost as long as the middle one. In the second species ( curta) we do not 
find this anomaly of the venation, and the terminal joint of the palpus is rudimentary; here, however,
