A. idalia Hmps. (50 i). Abdominal dorsum quite red except the base and apex. Forewing without ulalia. 
spots round the cell-end, but with a broad, brown costal margin and groups of streak-spots at the base and 
above the anal angle. Wings tinted pink. Rio de Janeiro. 
A. crinis Drc. (52 a). White, thorax and head orange and spotted red. Through the middle of the crinis. 
forewing runs a small, greyish-yellow transverse band being on both sides distinctly, though irregularly, bordered 
with black. Before the distal margin a small black streak and almost invariably 2 or 3 distinct black parallel 
streaks above the proximal margin; also at the base some marking. Mexico and Central America; in some 
places common. 
A. metacrinis Rothsch. (52 a). Similar, larger; the small transverse band of black transverse lines is )» flan-inis. 
replaced by a series of brown internerval spots from the costa to the middle of the proximal margin. Otherwise 
the wings are white except some small basal streaks. Colombia, Ecuador. 
A. tenuifascia Dgn. (50 k) from Colombia is quite similar, but the abdomen only at the base red. tenuijasc-ia. 
thorax unspotted. At the base of the forewing 4 long streaks, the small transverse band is only a row of puncti- 
form spots and bordered with black only at the cell-end, before and behind it the wing is tinted oc-hreous-yellow. 
Colombia. 
A. delicata Moschl. (50 k) is quite similar, the size of crinis. Abdomen purple red with white dorsal delicala. 
dots. Forewing with a grey basal spot striped black, below it a pink inner-marginal spot. In the cell-end and 
below the middle of the cell a yellow spot, through the middle of the wing a narrow grey oblkpie band exhibiting 
transverse streaks at the costa and above the proximal margin, with a black border at the cell-end. Jamaica. 
A. pichesensis Dyar (52 a). Dorsum of abdomen red, thorax variegated. Forewing with a violettish- pichcscmis. 
grey basal quarter finely traversed by the veins, the transverse band somewhat curved, the wing before and 
behind it slightly tinged yellowish. Peru. 
A. critheis Drc. (50 k). Thorax spotted yellow, abdomen red with traces of rows of white dots. Fore- critheis. 
wings yellowish, the basal spot extending almost equally far at the costa and proximal margin, traversed by 
the veins, bordered with white, the transverse macular band proximally convex. Panama, Brazil. 
A. herois Sch-s. (50 k). Somewhat smaller, the basal spot of the forewing extends at- the proximal herois. 
margin farther than at the costal margin and encloses a pink inner-marginal spot. The small transverse band 
has the proximal border almost straight, the distal border very convex. Mexico, Venezuela, South Brazil. 
—• iragorri Dgn. are specimens from Venezuela, Ecuador and Brazil, chiefly distinguished by their larger size iragorri. 
and the rounder shape of the $ hindwing. 
A. ochracea Rothsch. (50 k) is quite similar, but the transverse band duller and the basal spot of the ochmcca. 
forewing forms a wreath of short rays reaching the costa only with a dot, extending, however, at the proximal 
margin, where it encloses a yellow basal spot, almost to the middle. Abdomen ochreous yellow. — dorsalis dorsalis, 
form. nov. (50 k), perhaps a distinct species, shows the transverse band distinct, also the rays at the base growing 
shorter towards the costa, but the abdomen is hemochrome. On the forewing the yellow tinge of the median 
area reaches neither the costa nor the proximal margin. Central Colombia (Villavicencio, discovered by Fassl). 
A. decisa Rothsch. (50 lc) is larger than the preceding, easily recognized by the thicker, somewhat decisa. 
irregular spot at the transverse band through the middle of the forewing. Guiana. 
A. dognini Rothsch. (52 a) is quite similar to decisa, but the transverse band straighter, the thorax dognini. 
marked red and the basal spot in the inner-marginal half only yet represented by a dot above the proximal 
margin before its middle. Peru. 
A. monostidza Hmps. (52 a) is very closely allied to dognini, but between the cell-end and the border mono.slidza. 
of the forewing there is yet a black, oblong dot. Peru. 
A. carinosa Sch-s. (51 a). Transverse band and basal spot scarcely appreciably and very finely crossed carinosa. 
by the light veins, whereby both appear darker and more intense. Base of proximal margin bright red. Rio 
de Janeiro. 
A. ochreata Sch-s. (52 a), from Guiana, has yellow wings, the centre of the forewing of a deeper colour, ochrcata. 
and an ochreous-yellow abdomen. The very broad transverse band approaches at the proximal margin very 
much the dark basal band. Beneath both wings show a scent-fur in the disc. 
A. luteorosea Rothsch. (52 a). The transverse band of the forewing still much broader than in the luteorosea. 
preceding, forewings otherwise yellowish. Hindwings and abdomen purple-pink. Guiana. 
A. multicolor Rothsch. (52 a). Marking almost like in luteorosea, but the ground-colour of the forewings multicolor. 
dark brownish-yellow. At the costa of the forewing 2 white patches representing the beginning of the white 
border defining the transverse band and basal spot in the allied species. Guiana. 
A. ditissimus Drc. (51 a) is unlike the Automolis owing to its slender body as well as to the relatively dUiss'nnus. 
long wings; also the marking of this and the 2 or 3 next species deviates from all the other Automolis by the
