A. melea Drc. (50 e). The band of the forewing is quite straight and at the end rather broader than melea.

is below the middle of the costa in the $ a small black spot being absent in the $. Venezuela, Upper Rio Negro. 
A. tnaura Schs. (50 e). Above almost exactly like melea, but recognizable by the abdomen beneath Maura.

A. pratti Drc. (50 e). The orange band of the forewing is so much widened that only the margins praiii. 
remain blackish-brown. Colombia. 
A. tanialoides Rothsch. (50 e). The orange area of the forewing extends in its whole length as far as lanialoidrst. 
the costa, so that only in the apical part the costal margin remains yet very finely black. At the sides of the 
abdominal base 1 small orange spot each. Costa Rica. 
A. taniala Schs. (50 e) almost exactly resembles the preceding above, only the small orange spot at lam ala. 
the abdominal base is absent and the costal part of the hindwing is not quite so extensively yellow. Venezuela. 
A. latania Drc. (50 f). Forewings quite orange, only the distal margin quite narrowly black, extending latania. 
round the apex and proximal angle. Abdominal dorsum at the base with yellow lateral spots; venter with 
orange transverse bands. Colombia, Upper Rio Negro, Venezuela. — In the form vulcanica form. nov. (50 f) vulcanica. 
the yellow ventral bands are reduced to 2 small spots and the yellow lateral spots at the base of the abdominal 
dorsum are absent altogether. At the proximal margin of the forewing a jet-black wedge-shaped spot; from the 
volcano Irazu in Costa Rica. 
A. nabdalsa Schs. (50 f). Orange; forewing with black streak-spots along the costal margin and bet- naMalm. 
ween the veins in the marginal area. Border of the hindwing narrow black. End of abdomen black, spotted 
lustrous blue. Mexico, Vera Cruz; apparently rare. 
A. opposita Wkr. (= ochrophila Fldr.) (50 f) has always an orange basal part of the abdomen. Fore- opposiia. 
wing with an oval orange spot behind the middle of the costa, extending towards the anal angle, and with another 
one from the lower cell-angle towards the middle of the proximal margin; the veins streaked light. Hindwing 
orange with a marginal band growing broader towards the proximal margin. Still smaller than nabdalsa. 
Apparently very rare. Amazon and Guiana. The type in the British Museum. 
A. chrysomelas Wkr. (= geometrica Fldr.) (50 f). Forewing orange-yellow, divided into 2 areas chrysome- 
by a black ray from the base being bent round at the cell-end and extending above the anal angle into t he border. las '

A. sicilia Drc. (= parma Schs.) (50 f). Orange; forewing with a white apex encircled by black, sicilia. 
hindwing with a blackish border. Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. 
A. contraria Wkr. (50 g). Smaller, otherwise quite similar to the preceding, but the white apical cnnlraria. 
spot much broader encircled by black. Colombia and Amazon District. 
A. albimaculifera Hmps. (50 g). Like contraria, but the costal margin of the forewing broad blackish- albimaculi- 
brown. Manicore (Amazon). ’ era ‘ 
A. zenzeroides Btlr. (50 g). Orange, the dark apex of the forewing contains 2 light pupils; at the -enwoidcs. 
border above the anal angle a small, dark spot. Rio Purus (Amazon). 
A. orbona Schs. (50 g). Orange, the forewing with a dark apex, which, however, has no white pupil; orhnna. 
before the border some small, dull nebulous spots. Hindwing yellow with small dark marginal spots. Mexico 
(Vera Cruz). 
A. bonora Schs. (50 g) entirely resembles orbona, but the apex of the forewing only very narrowly bonora. 
encircled by black; at the border of the hindwing only 2 very small black dots. French Guiana. 
A. ochreomarginata Joicey. Like the preceding species orange, but the abdomen already from the ochreomar- 
3rd ring blackish-brown with blue lustrous spots on the dorsum of the 3 last rings; the forewing have only at c/inaia. 
the apex dark brown fringes, the hindwing is pale orange. French Guiana. 
A. sulfurea Schs. (50 g). Likewise yellow, but here the thorax and forewings are pale yellow, the hind- sulfurea. 
wings orange; the latter with a black marginal band from the anal angle to beyond the middle of the border. 
Abdomen beginning from the 4th ring black, spotted blue. French Guiana.
