A. dognini Rothsch. (48 e) is almost exactly like the preceding, the subterminal line is somewhat dognini. 
more irregularly undulate, and there are traces of a light median band; hindwing almost to the margin hyaline. 
Like the preceding from San Domingo in Peru. 
A. cirmamomea Rothsch. (48 e). This species also originates from Peru and chiefly only differs from cinnamo- 
drucei by the bright cinnamon-red colouring of the forewing and the brown, not hemcchrome abdominal dorsum. mca - 
The subterminal line of the forewing is proximally shaded with dark. 
A. nigrescens Rothsch. (47 f as suhterminalis) . Body and forewing deep dark brown, so that the darker nigrescens. 
cell-end spot is hardly prominent ; an antemarginal row of small light crescents. Hindwing diaphanous red- 
brown. Peru. 
A. pseuderebella Rothsch. Forewing diaphanous blackish-brown, hindwing hyaline, body blackish- pseuderebcl- 
brown, only round the base of the abdomen some reddish hair, which may, however, vary in the different la ' 
specimens. Colombia. — - Dognin described an insect as subterminata which we figure (47 g), and which is subtermiha- 
labelled by Dognin’s own hand as ,,subterminata“; it differs from ‘pseuderebella Rothsch. (= erebeila Hmp.s. ia ' 
p. p.) so little that it is hardly noticeable in the figure. But on holding it towards the light, we notice traces 
of an undulate subterminal line, which disappear in bright light, and the reddish hairing at the base of the 
abdomen is so well hidden beneath the dark hair that it is only well noticeable on being looked at laterally. 
By reason of this specimen (in the collection of A. H. Fassl) being labelled ,,Mt. Tolirna, 3200 m“, suhterminata 
is hardly more than a race allied to the type. 
A. deinella Hmps. (48 d) is quite similarly coloured to the preceding and of the same size, but the deinella. 
head and metathoracal border are orange, and the hindwing is more densely scaled and tinted reddish. Peru. 
A. tristis Rothsch. (48 f) is very similar to deinella, but much smaller, the forewing towards the margin tristis. 
more intensely darkened, the abdomen at the base yellowish-red, behind yolk-coloured. Colombia, Peru. 
A. palmeri Rothsch. (48 f). Wings like in tristis, but the whole abdomen from the base to the apex palmeri. 
of a bright orange colour. West Colombia. 
A. ferreobrunnea Rothsch. (48 f). Forewing hyaline, only the margins and apical part are dark brown, ferreobrun- 
the hindwing hyaline, tinged with yellow. Body yellowish-brown with a white apex of the abdomen. Larger nca - 
than the two preceding. From Mt. Tolirna in Colombia. 
A. scriblita Dgn. (47 g). Wings and body bright reddish yellowish-brown, the forewing less diaphanous scribliia. 
than the hindwing. Forewing with a more intensely and darker scaled stripe of the proximal margin. Body 
densely haired reddish yellowish-brown, in the posterior third the segments are slightly bordered with dark. 
The $ is somewhat paler coloured than the d- From the Quindiu Pass, Colombia. 
A. tumbilla Dgn < (47 f), being unknown to me in nature, is a small species with a very thick, squat tumbilla. 
body and antennae which, according to the figure, are almost as long as the costa of the forewing. Colour 
yellowish-brown, without the reddish tinge of the preceding species, the forewing proximally, the hindwing as 
far as the margin hyaline. From Loja in Ecuador. 
A. rubridorsata Dgn. (48 g) strikingly recalls some Hemihyalea ; the wings are throughout hyaline, only rubridorsa- 
the costa and proximal margin of the forewing and the apical part of the margin of the hindwing are feebly ia - 
tinted ochreous-white. Head, prothorax, and patagia creamy-white, tinted ochreous; collar, sides of the thorax, 
centre of the thoracal dorsum, metathorax and dorsum of abdomen except the creamy white apex purple red. 
Antennae long, yellowish-red. Colombia and Peru. 
A. diaphenes Dyar. The type of this Colombian species, being unknown to me, is in the National diaphenes. 
Museum in Washington. According to the figure, it only differs from the preceding by the veins being somewhat 
marked red-brown, and the abdominal dorsum being red warming into yellow, as well as by the dark orange 
thorax. 
A. childi Rothsch. (£ = lehmanni Rothsch.) *) (48 f). Body yellowish-grey, the prothorax and apex childi. 
of abdomen tinted ochreous. Forewing diaphanous red-brown, with a light antemarginal stripe; hindwing 
yellowish hyaline, the costal margin tinted red-brown. Colombia. 
A. rothschildi Dgn. (48 f) is quite similar to childi, larger, different by the likewise red-brown body rothschildi, 
with a white face and a lighter abdominal apex, and by the hindwing being brightly tinged red-brown. Colombia. 
A. erebelloides Rothsch. (48 d). Thorax and forewing darker, chestnut-brown, otherwise similar to crebelloidcs. 
the preceding, though larger, except the head also the collar is yellow, the basal half of the abdomen is above 
purple red, the posterior half blackish. Peru.
