in Colombia. Specimens from the Rio Songo in Bolivia have scarcely yet the reel tinge on the abdomen, and 
in such from the Upper Rio Negro and Villavicencio the forewings and abdominal dorsum are decidedly yellow; 
I denominate the latter viteUina form. nov. (52 c); they are smaller than typical vittipes. 
A. internervosa Dgn. (52 c). Scarcely larger than vittipes, wings pale yellow, forewing with fine black 
veins and streaks between them; body yolk-coloured, thorax dotted black. Colombia (Medina). 
A. erythronotus H.-Schaff. (52 c). Forewing pale yellowish, almost hyaline with black veins, the 
transverse vein bordered with black, and a black streak in the submedian space terminating an oval, chalky- 
white longitudinal spot. Hindwings white, abdomen above hemochrome, at the base and apex white. Colombia, 
Venezuela. 
A. lineosa Wkr. (= erythronota Drc. nec H.-Schaff., $ = perlineosa Rothsch.) (52 d). Smaller, the 
vein-streaks shorter, not joining each other. Particularly behind the cell-end a large, hyaline spot is produced 
by the base of the radials remaining uncoloured. In typical specimens, as we figure them from Colombia (Rio 
Negro), but as they also occur in Costa Rica, there are in the distal area, cell and submedian space chrome- 
yellow longitudinal, diffuse spots embedded between the black vein-streaks. — In sublineata Rothsch. (52 d) 
from Peru they are absent, and the radial veins are streaked dark as far as near the transverse vein. 
A. dilucida Rothsch. (52 d). Forewing diaphanous white, of the black longitudinal streaks only the 
beginnings are yet visible in the costal and basal parts, and the ends (at the border, and besides the border 
of the transverse vein. Thorax in some places and abdomen above tinged purple-pink. Peru. 
A. vinasia Schs. Forewing brown, apical area yellow from the costa above the cell-end to the upper 
median vein, below which there is a short yellow oblique streak. Proximal border of this yellow area irregular; 
between the radial veins the brown ground-colour projects towards the margin. Veins delicately streaked 
light; round the base of the wing faint light dots; from the lower cell-angle a deeply dentate chain of white 
small crescents to the middle of the proximal margin. Hindwings brown, towards the costa whitish. Head 
and thorax whitish, tinged brown, abdomen above purple-red. Costa Rica. The type in the Museum of Washing¬ 
ton. Size of A. bonora (50 g). 
A. luridoides Rothsch. (52 d). Pale yellow, light bluish-grey oval spots are between the patagia on the 
mesothorax, near the base of the forewing, obliquely through the middle of the forewing and before the apex 
of the forewing; the 3 oval spots on the wings are encircled by white. Minas Geraes (Brazil). 
A. lurida Fldr. (52 d). The spots are arranged like in the preceding, but the one at the base of the fore¬ 
wing is small, that in the middle very large, the preapical one circular. Colombia (Rio Negro) and Peru. 
A. pseudoflavescens Rothsch. (52 d). Smaller, only one large, round, grey spot on the disc of the 
forewing. Hindwing greyish, dorsum of abdomen sooty black, apex yellow. Minas Geraes (Brazil). 
A. aureogrisea Rothsch. (52 d). Yellow, theTarge, greyish-violet spot on the forewing occupies almost 
the whole inner-marginal half of the forewing. Abdominal dorsum likewise dull yolk-coloured. Peru. 
A. flavescens Wkr. (52 d). The violettish-grey spot on the forewing forms a horse-shoe-like arch 
over the proximal margin of the forewing and is not so sharply defined as in aureogrisea. Amazon and Bolivia. 
A specimen from Colombia (Rio Negro) is much paler than the specimens before me from the Rio Songo, but 
also rather much flown, so that the difference may be only individual. 
A. asara Drc. Likewise from Ecuador, is so closely allied to flavescens, that it was formerly included 
with it as synonymous; here the violettish-grey arcuate shade begins to break up into 3 spots; one before 
the anal angle, a large cloud in the disc and a third spot above the proximal margin near the base. 
A. reducta Wkr. (= lobifer H.-Schaff., incerta Drc.) (52 e). Easily recognizable by the distorted 
hindwing of the the proximal margin of which terminates into a long lobe exhibiting a scent-fur. Pale yellow, 
a violet costal stripe from the base to the middle of the wing, and an oblique nebulous stripe from the apex as far 
as behind the middle of the proximal margin. Panama and South Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 
A, larissa Dire. 52 e). Forewing hyaline, a brown stripe along the costal margin, from which right 
behind the base a thick branch runs towards the anal angle. Abdomen above hemochrome. On the under 
surface the brown stripes of the forewing are absent. Colombia and Amazon. 
A. unifascia Drc. (52 c). A very variable animal, the forms of which, however, are scarcely to be 
separated geographically. Forewing milky-white with a black oblique and inner-marginal band, meeting each 
other at the anal angle. Hindwing with a broad black proximal margin. Guiana. — In borussica form. nov. 
(52 e) from the Rio Songo in Bolivia also the apex of the forewing is black and in alboatra Rothsch. (52 e) from 
Guiana, the Amazon and Peru also the costa, apex, and distal margin of the hindwing are blackened. — On the 
contrary, hamifera Dgn. (52 e) from French Guiana has the black colour reduced, the transverse band of the 
forewing showing a break, and in apicata Schs. (52 f), likewise from French Guiana, only the apex of the forewing
