P. 318, line 15 from above, to Ecpanth. cretacea add: (67 f). 
Line 9 from below, after Ecpanth. aljoha insert: 
Ecpantheria perplexa Schs. resembles alpha (40 i), but all the markings are fainter, browner, the costal perplexa. 
spots smaller; in the hindwing the abdominal stripe is faded; abdomen brown, lacking the blue lustre, with a 
yellow dorsal transverse spot. Costa Rica, collected by W. Schaus. 
P. 319, line 21 from above, the sentence: ,,only SS seem to be known hitherto 4 ' is to be replaced by: 
The species is now often stated to occur in Jamaica; food-plants of the larvae: Orange, Vanilla, Ipomoea, 
Banana, Panicum. -—- The fact that eridanus was produced from the same deposit of eggs proves that it must 
be regarded as a form of icasia. — Egg globular, at the place where it is fastened it is flattened down, with 
a finely reticulated surface; in the beginning greenish, then steel-coloured grey, with a slight mother-of-pearl 
shine. Larva in the early stage yellowish, centrally more brownish, with long black hair. Adult larva black, 
dark-haired; head Indian-red. Its metamorphosis in a web yields a mahagoni-brown pupa of 22 mm ($) length. 
It is greatly infested by an Empusa and the Ichneumonid Eremotylus angulatus Hooker. 
P. 320, line 22 from below, after Caridarctia albicancellata insert : 
Caridarctia tenebrosa Dgn. Size and shape similar to that of albicancellata (42 b), but both wings in tenebrosa. 
the basal parts less marked in a pale colour, at the distal margin a very highly arched cucullate line. The species 
also differs considerably in the structure from albicancellata, so that the genus Acyclania Dgn. has been established 
for it: Frons with a protuberance, antennae with ciliary bundles; both forewing and hindwing differently veined; 
still the two species exhibit an alliance, tenebrosa was found in Missiones (Argentina). 
P. 320, line 14 from below, before Parades insert: 
Chlanidophora culleni Brethes differs from patagiata in its larger frontal proboscis; on the forewing the culleni. 
white postmedian area is broader, the black marginal area narrower, the dentate line more distinct. Mendoza 
in Argentina. 
P. 321, line 12 from above, to Mallocephala deserticola add: — Larva very variegated with a light 
brown head, the skin finely watered in a darker colour, on each segment small tufts of dense ochreous hair, 
out of which single, longer, darker hair protrude. Before each hair-tuft a blackish transverse band, all of which 
are traversed by a broad, yellowish-white dorsal line and 2 similar subdorsal lines. At the anterior and posterior 
ends the hairs are somewhat longer but do not form pencils. On low plants; it pupates about Christmas time 
and yields the imago in January and February. 
P. 321, line 26 from above, after Mallocephala magna insert: 
Mallocephala peruensis Dgn. resembles magna (41 d), but the abdomen and the hindwing at the apex peruensis. 
and hind-margin are soot-coloured brown. Cuzco (Peru). 
P. 321, line 23 from below, insert after deserticola (41 b): ,,of which it seems to be merely a greyer 
form, as well as bogotensis Dgn. from Bogota an earth-brown form". bogotensis. 
P. 321, line 8 from below, add to vulpina Hbn.: 
Of the of this species the described as A. felderi-rf is only a smaller form; felderi-Q = nitida Jones-Q. 
P. 321, line 3 from below, to Antarctia lehmanni add: (67 g). 
P. 322, line 6 from above, insert: 
— cajetani Rothsch. has a more dark red-brown ground-colour of the forewing, the hindwing is lighter, cajeiani. 
1 towards the margin shaded with a dark red; from Montevideo. 
P. 322, line 7 from above, to Ant. vulpecula add: (67 g). 
Line 20 from above, after A. fervida insert : 
Antarctia quadrata Rothsch. is very similar to fervida (41 e), but the body and wings are dark soot- quadrata. 
brown. Sapucay (Paraguay). 
Line 25 from above: 
A. venata Schs. is the $ of surgens Wkr. The figure of surgens-tf on pi. 41 h represents a much-flown 
specimen (perhaps of pallidivena ?). —- After surgens insert: 
A. flavescens Schs. (67 i) is uni-coloured dull white, with slightly darker veins. South Brazil. flavescens. 
P. 322, line 21 from below, to Ant. gigantea add: (68 h). 
P. 323, line 1 from above, to A. thursbyi add: (67 g).
