MYONIA. By Dr. Martin Herjng. 
light markings are more extensive, costa and base yellow, only a basal streak on the anterior edge of the cell 
semimacu- is black; — in semimaculata Warr. (68 c) the distal spot is absent. Pern. — In cingulina aurantica Drc. (68 c) 
aurantica a ^ so the proximal spot of the forewing is entirely absent, whereas on the under surface it is distinct, extending 
at the posterior edge of the cell to the base. — Whilst the typical form also lacks the distal spot, the transitory 
spumata. form spumata Warr. exhibits behind the cross-vein and on the analis some small heeps of white scales; — in 
albifrons. albifrons Warr. there is a distinct whitish-yellow spot at the cross-vein. Bolivia, one specimen also from Callanga 
(Peru). 
stenoxan- M. stenoxantlia sp. n. (68 d) differs from all the forms of cingulina in the base and costal margin of 
iha - the hindwing being broader black, whereby the yellow transverse band becomes much narrower (3 mm broad); 
its edges are parallel, not divergent as in the preceding. In the forewing the proximal yellow spot is smaller 
than in semimaculata (68 c), more distally placed; its centre is situate below the origin of the 2nd cubitus. The 
distal spot is very large, sharply defined, larger than the proximal spot; under surface as in semimaculata. 
Huayabamba, Peru. $ type in the Berlin Museum. 
maria. M. inaria Drc. (— maria Dgn .) entirely resembles cingulina , but the proximal spot of the forewing 
above is extended to the base. Ecuador. 
mi mica. M. mimica sp. n. (68 d) entirely corresponds with Josia oribia (71 b), but the abdomen is black, with 
a yellow dorsal line and yellow lateral lines, beneath whitish. Garlepp captured the only $ with a series of 
J. oribia on the Rio Songo, Bolivia. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
tapajoza. M. tapajoza Dgn. Forewing brownish-black, with paler veins, an oblong, slanting median spot is 
yellowish, not reaching the costal margin, its distal edge crossing the cell and the 2nd cubitus before its 
centre, being rounded off above the axillaris; the inner margin touches the posterior margin of the cell at the 
rise of the 2nd cubitus and extends from there straight to the costal margin; largest width of the spot 2% mm. 
Hindwing black with a yellow transverse band from before the centre of the costal margin to that of the hind- 
margin, the outer side of which docs not cross the transverse vein; its largest width is 3% mm; beneath it is 
extended to the base, and at the costal margin it extends to the apex, which is beneath with a round yellowish- 
white spot. Expanse 28 mm. Amazons. 
2. Wings more thinly sealed, mostly with hyaline are a s. ( Erbessa Whr., Phelloe Wkr,, 
Pseuderbessa Btlr .). 
citrina. M. citrina Drc. (= conjuncta Dgn.) (68 d). Wings blackish-brown; reddish-yellow are on the forewing 
the costal margin almost to y 2 , a broad discal band, a longitudinal streak on the analis, in the hindwing the 
central area as far as the hind-margin, and an apical spot. A subapical band and some submarginal spots below 
it dull whitish. Amazons. 
ovia. M. ovia Drc. is like the preceding, but all the markings are dull whitish. It may be only a form of 
citrina. Amazons. 
capena. M. capena Drc. (68 d) is like the preceding, but all the markings are whitish, the discal bands hyaline. 
It is not the <$ of the preceding, as had been presumed; in the Berlin Museum there are also $$ of the species. 
Amazons, Ecuador, South East Peru. 
pales. M. pales Drc. (68 d) is black, with a hyaline basal spot, shortened discal band and subapical band 
in the forewing, a similar central area as far as the hind-margin in the hindwing, at the base behind the analis 
in the forewing with a blue reflection. Ecuador, Bolivia. 
glaucaspis. M. glaucaspis Whr. (68 e) is black, the base of the forewing, and the hindwing with a blue lustre, 
the veins of the forewing basally whitish, in the disc a large hyaline spot, in the hindwing a whitish hyaline central 
spot which is sometimes darkened by grey and very narrow. Fringes at the apex of the forewing and a spot 
at the apex of the hindwing beneath white. Amazons, Colombia. 
umbrifera. M. umbrifera Whr. (= decorata Wkr., munda Wkr.) (68 e). Blackish-brown, base of forewing and 
greatest part of hindwing suffused with blue, an oblong discal spot in the forewing and a central spot of the 
hindwing hyaline, the latter of different extension, sometimes ending before the base. Beneath the apex of the 
r assandra. forewing white as above, hindwing with a broader white apex only beneath. Amazons, Guiana. — Cassandra 
Drc. is somewhat larger, with more glaring colours. Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador. 
sobria. i M. sobria Wkr. (68 e). Abdomen with a lighter dorsal line, base of forewing with whitish veins, but 
not lustrous blue, a whitish-hyaline discal spot in the forewing, a similar central spot in the hindwing, fringes 
at the apex of the forewing only beneath, a spot at the apex of the hindwing likewise beneath, white. The black 
areas of the hindwing above of a blue iridescence. Brazil, Ecuador. 
rorvim. M. corvica Dgn. Like sobria (68 e), but the hindwing above without any blue lustre, beneath without 
a white apical spot. Expanse 34 mm. Bolivia.
