free, however, the margin in the apical area. It somewhat resembles in the habitus Elysius melanoplaga (54c) 
occurring also at the same place. Colombia to Peru. 
0. decrepida H.-Schdff. (57 c) also exhibits a resemblance to hampsoni, but the transverse bands 
which are there only indicated by dispersed, whitish, small crescents and spots, are here passing through from 
the costa to the median, those in the basal and terminal thirds reaching even the proximal margin; they are 
of a dark yellow tinge, bordered with blackish. Hindwing similar as in decrepidoides, but without the distinct 
median luna, and the apex itself is still darker than the marginal band, not lighter. Guiana, Venezuela and 
Peru. 
0. flavostrigata H.-Schaff. (57 c). Wings coloured not dissimilarly to nexa (56 h), but the forewing 
above without the purely white embedments, only with a light violettish-grey subterminal band being continued 
also on the hindwing. Easily recognizable by the black, somewhat lustrous bluish-grey abdominal dorsum, 
ta the sides of which there are rows of deep orange-red spots. ,,Brazil' 4 , the exact habitat not being mentioned. 
0. flavimaculata Hmps. (57 d). Dark greyish-brown, with bone-white spots on the tegulae, a broad 
macular band behind the base of the forewing, an oval spot before the upper cell-angle and 3 spots at the costa 
before the marginal fourth; some more minute, yellowish-white spots are dispersed across the forewing with 
2 small purple spots in the cell-angles. Hindwing with 3 spots in the cell being above tinged pink, beneath 
yellow, The subbasal spots of the forewing, however, are on the contrary yellow above and beneath partly 
pink. Abdomen banded purple. South Brazil and Peru, figured according to a Bolivian specimen from the 
Rio Songo. 
0. piperita H.-Schdff. (= aureopuna Eothsch.) (57 d). In this species there are only yet small bone- 
white spots scattered over the forewing and thorax, being in the q only of the size of a pin’s head, in the 2 
of a millet-grain. But sometimes the ground of the wing is densely covered with small light dots. Hindwing 
light yellowish-grey, faintly diaphanous, with a large costal-marginal spot at the cell-end and a broad marginal 
band. Abdomen posteriorly banded purple. From Trinidad and Costa Rica to Brazil. Peru and Bolivia; the 
figured $ from the Rio Songo. 
0. ovuliger sp. nov. (57 d) differs from the preceding genus by the more abundant and more dense 
bestrewing with lemon-coloured, small oval spots. They are united to thronged rows and appear more distinctly 
also on the thorax, and the qE are besides much larger than in piperita , even in the 9- Found by A. H. Fa SSL 
near Paeho in Colombia. Type in the Coll. Fassl. 
0. intermedia Eoth-sch. (57 d). One specimen (9) in the Tring Museum, the habitat being unknown, 
in contrast with ovuliger , shows the yellow above compared to piperita reduced to single spots, of which there 
are only a few larger ones at the costa. The hindwing is quite dark brown except some discal spots. We have 
copied Hampson’s figure of the species in his ,.Catalogued 
0. aurogutta Schs. (57 d). Spots of the forewing very numerous, more circular than oval. Hindwing 
dirty yellowish-white, in the 9 shaded with grey. Bogota (Colombia). 
0. fasciatus Eothsch. (57 e). Habitus of a Galidota, also the head and prothorax dotted black like 
in them, too. Forewing light brown, with transverse rows of white oval spots, hindwing dirty white, at the 
border brownish. Venezuela. 
0. ochracea Joicey (57 e) is somewhat smaller and distinguished from fasciatus only by the white 
spots in the proximal part of the forewing being extended into short bands which are much smaller in the distal 
part. Peru. 
0. elota Mschlr. (57 e). Unicolorously ochreous-yellow, wings lighter in the disc, body shaded darker. 
Jamaica; described as Halisidota. 
0. thalassina H.-Schdff. (57 e). One of the largest species; body yolk-coloured, marked whitish. 
Wings diaphanous Nile-green with dark veins, the marginal parts tinged yellowish. From Central America 
through Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil as far as Rio de Janeiro; in many places rare, in some, however, (e. g. 
Merida in Venezuela) common on lanterns. Its exterior already reminds us of the Amastus. 
0. albescens Eothsch. (57 e) which we append here, according to Hampson belongs to the genus 
Ochrodota and would, therefore, have to be inserted on p. 334. It is quite pale ochreous-yellow, the forewing 
covered with small dark dots and small brown spots in such a way that the animal looks like a Halisidota and 
might he compared to H. cirphis (57 k) or jone-si (58 e); from Venezuela and Guiana. 
79. Genus: Cwraplielysia Hmps. 
A very peculiarly marked butterfly, described as Elysius, but probably not even distantly related 
to this genus, was discovered in a male specimen in Peru (la Union) and figured by Lord Rothschild. It is
