I. intersecta Warr. is extremely similar to the preceding, but the postdiscal spot of the forewing is inUrseeia. 
traversed by dark veins. The dark discal band before the hyaline spot of the forewing is broad, the hyaline 
areas are whitish, reduced. Ecuador. — In biquadrata Prt. the dark discal band is narrower, in front 1, behind biquadraia. 
3 mm broad at most, the light areas greyish-hyaline. Colombia. 
24. Genus: J*ai*»cli©|>tis nom. -nov. (= Eudioptis Prt. nec Hbn. 1816). 
In the forewing the 2nd radial rises before the 5th before the 3rd and 4th; the 1st cubitus is forked 
with the 3rd median in the forewing, whilst in the hindwing they are separate. 
P. otanes Drc. (69 k). Forewing black, 2 hyaline basal streaks, a spot at the cell-end one at the tornus otancs. 
and 2 before the apex are whitish-hyaline. Hindwing hyaline, costal margin and distal margin broadly black, 
like the veins; an oval cell-end spot is white. Expanse 32 mm. East Ecuador. 
25. Genus: Dioptis Hbn. 
Like the preceding, the 1st cubitus rises forked also in the hindwing. 
D. Candelaria Drc. (= vacuata Warr.). Wings hyaline, margins and veins black, in the forewing candelaria. 
a costal hook, enclosing the cross-vein, and a postdiscal band from % of the costa to the rise of the 3rd median 
black, the area behind it whitish-hyaline without black veins; whitish are besides the space behind the cross¬ 
vein before the 1st median and two spots in the hyaline area before the tornus, as well as in the hindwing the 
distal areas of the hyaline area. Panama. — In nivea subsp. n. (69 k) the white subapical band is twice as nivea. 
broad (4 mm), posteriorly narrower. Colombia. type from 8. Miguel in the Berlin Museum. 
D. pellucida Warr. is quite similar to the preceding, but without white spots on the hyaline areas, pellucida. 
Expanse 48 mm. Colombia. 
D. symoides Strd. is said to be very similar to the Pericopine Hyalurga syma Wkr. (65 e). but differs symoides. 
in the veins and the broader (3U> mm) white band of the forewing. Probably near candelaria. Expanse 31 mm. 
Costa Rica. 
D. phelina Fldr. (= pandates Drc., impleta Warr.) (69 1) likewise resembles candelaria, but the white phelina. 
subapical spot does not reach the costal margin, extending only 7 to the radius; at the tornus only a white spot, 
all the dark markings being broader; in the hindwing the space between the 3rd median and 1st cubitus is 
dark. Colombia. 
D. areolata Wkr. (69 1). Wings hyaline, the veins and margins black, forewing with 2 broad black areolata. 
transverse bands, veins before the apex also darker. The hyaline spot before the apex is very small. Expanse 
32 mm. Brazil. 
D. restricta Warr. (? = melda Bsd.) (69 1) is similar to areolata, larger, 35 to 44 mm, the veins very resPula. 
fine and bands and margins narrower black, the hyaline areas more extensive. The space between the 1st 
cubitus and 3rd median is hyaline, in areolata dark. Brazil. 
D. charila Drc. (69 1) is similar to the preceding, the forewing only with a transverse band, which is very charila. 
broad and oblique and touches the anterior margin of the cross-vein. Guiana, Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador. 
D. onega Fits. (69 1). Forewing hyaline, margins and veins black, two transverse bands, which are onega. 
broadly connected between the 2nd and 3rd medians. Subapical spot broad, white, veins not darker. Hindwing 
white, distal and costal margins black, above indistinct, beneath with a distinct ochreous line in the margin. 
Veins finely black. Bates found it flying together with Leucothyris onega. which it resembles very much. Upper 
Amazon River. 
D. Columbiana sp. n. is a species between onega- and restricta. From onega it is separated on the eolumbiana. 
hindwing by the narrow distal margin, which is beneath not filled up with orange; from restricta it differs in 
the first transverse band of the forewing being connected with the second by dark irroration between the 2nd 
and 3rd medians. Expanse 32 mm. The species was captured by 8tubel and later on denoted as D. phelina, 
but the latter has in the hindwing a dark band at the 1st cubitus, which fills up the bifurcation. Colombia, 
types from Llanos de S. Martin in the Berlin Museum. 
D. pallene Drc. (70 a). Forewing blackish-brown, in the posterior half of the cell and behind it as pallenc. 
far as the 2nd cubitus white hyaline, divided dark by the analis, a broad white subapical band and a white 
spot between the cubital branches. Hinclwings hyaline, veins and margins black, distal margin with an orange 
line. Expanse 38 mm. Ecuador, Peru. 
D. stenothyris Prt. is similar to palene (70 a), in the forewing the subapical band is narrower, another stenotlujris. 
white dot at the anterior end of the cross-vein, sometimes also two. Rio Madeira, Upper Amazon River.
