Z. fasciola sp. nov. (52 k) from Teffe (Amazon) shows the vitreous spot below blotted as far as the 
border above the anal angle. Perhaps only a form of carmesina. 
Z. crocos Cr. (= istria Drc.) (52 1). Considerably larger, the yellowish hyaline spot reduced to a 
small curved band situate behind the cell-end of the forewing and projecting beyond the discocellulars down¬ 
ward in the $ little, in the $ not at all. Thorax and forewing otherwise violettish-brown, in the disc and at 
the border orange-yellow } speckled red; through the wing some red transverse lines. Hindwing and dorsum 
of abdomen purple. —- Larvae rather scantily haired, when grown up with a black dorsal shabrack exhibiting 
on each segment 2 light transverse lines and 1 or 2 rows of dots; sides, venter and sham feet are either dark 
green or purple-red (which is said to be a sexual distinction). It lives on the coffee-tree and yields the imago 
already after a 6 days’ pupal stage. Pupa dark purple-brown. Guiana and Amazon. 
Z. flavipuncta Rothsch. (52 k) from Surinam has, like fasciola, the spot on the forewing somewhat 
prolonged, but not yellow, but purely whitish hyaline; the transverse lines, being fiery red in fasciola, are 
scarcely visible, the whole animal much smaller. In the cell of the forewing a small, but distinct yellow dot. 
Z. rosacea Rothsch. (52 k). Forewing purple-brown with a narrow vitreous patch composed of 3 or 4 
spots; hindwings deep pink, abdomen dark red. Amazon; Fonte Boa and Teffe. — rufescens Rothsch., likewise 
from the Amazon, has only a somewhat broader vitreous patch, more distinct transverse lines and more yellow 
hindwings. 
Z. brunnea (53 a) has the size of the preceding, but through the middle of the forewing extends 
a broad, darker transverse band, in the cell there is a black dot, and the vitreous spot is formed by a chain of 
4 white, distally black dots. Body and hindwing yolk-coloured, the inner-marginal area of the hindwing with 
a pink tint. Peru. 
Z. dithyris Hmps. (52 1) is quite similar, but without the vitreous spot, which is replaced by a small 
white dot between the radials; hindwings crimson. Guiana. 
Z. irrorata Rothsch. (52 1). Forewing buff, densely strewn with red-brown, instead of the vitreous 
spot of most of the other Zatrephes there are here before the apical area some disperse white dots. Hindwings 
yellow, tinged pink. Amazon (Fonte Boa). 
Z. variegata Rothsch. (53 a). Forewing similar, but between the cell-end and border there is a yellowish 
cloud formed of small, dull spots; the hindwing purple-pink, costal margin and fringes white. Amazon (Fonte Boa). 
Z. arenosa Schs. (53 a). Forewing red-brown with 2 dark transverse lines; behind the distal one, 
below the costal margin. 3 small white hyaline spots. Hindwings and abdomen purple-pink. French Guiana. 
Z. klagesi Rothsch. (53 a). Very similar to variegata , but the forewing of a clearer ochreous-yellow, 
the two transverse lines red-brown, the distal one only from the cell-end to the proximal margin; in the disc 
a white, anteriorly dark hyaline spot. Hindwings pink. Amazon (Fonte Boa). 
Z. ockendeni Rothsch. (52 1) is larger, lighter, more thinly scaled and with duller markings, the 
proximal transverse line more distinct than the distal one; in the cell a black dot; in the disc a whitish, irregular 
hyaline spot. Hindwings whitish, feebly suffused with pink, Peru, Bolivia. 
Z. bicolorata Rothsch. (= sublutescens Rothsch.) (53 a). Colouring and size of ockendeni, but instead 
of the white discal spot before the apical part of the forewing only a black dot, both transverse lines dull, 
but just in front of the apex of the forewing yet a small, fine dot; hindwings yellowish. Peru; presumably 
only a slightly different $ form of the preceding. 
Z. crueiata Rothsch. (53 a). Smaller than bicolorata, but coloured the same. The antemedian transverse 
line is situate as in the preceding species, but the post median one extends from the costa in a proximally convex 
bow towards the anal angle, and between it and the antemedian line there is a horizontal cross above the middle 
of the proximal margin. Hindwing whitish, proximal half pink. Amazon (Fonte Boa). 
Z. albescens Rothsch. (53 a). Wings very light, almost bone-white, only the distal margins darker. 
Forewing with the usual transverse lines being almost parallel and scarcely convergent at the proximal margin 
and running quite straight. At their uppermost ends a minute black dot scarcely noticeable in the <$. Abdomen 
purple-red. Amazon (Fonte Boa). 
Z. subtlavescens Rothsch. (53 a). Almost exactly like albescens, but in the the border of the forewing 
is almost straight, the forewings being consequently more pointed. Instead of the hyaline spot on the forewing 
of most of the Zatrephes there are here 2 distantly separated hyaline dots. Amazon (Fonte Boa) and Guiana. 
Z. iridescens Rothsch. (-- nitida Rothsch. nec Stoll) (53 b) is almost exactly like the preceding, but 
the wings somewhat opalescent and the two transverse lines somewhat divergent towards the proximal margin. 
Amazon (Fonte Boa) and French Guiana.
