species; they both exhibit the broader posterior margin of the hindwing of the nomenclatural form; the streak 
of the forewing is broader and its anterior edge at the end obtusely angled, not uniformly bent as in the preceding. 
In scalafa Dgn. (71 a) it ends at the same distance from the margin as in aurijlua ; -— in inaequiflexa (71 a) .s calata. 
it ends before, about 1 % mm before the margin. The former is from Peru, the latter from Ecuador. 
J. aurifusa Wkr. A most variable species. Fore wing blackish-brown with an orange central stripe, avrifusa. 
which is narrower at the end. In the nomenclatural type the hindwing is yellow, the apex black which colour 
taperingly extends to the base; — in lurgida Warr. (71 b) the black apical colouring in the hindwing only turgida. 
extends narrower to the centre of the wing, between the 2nd cubitus and axillaris a black spot at the margin; 
in the form cotlifera Warr. the orange central spot of the forewing has distally a coniform continuation; in conifera. 
the hindwing the apical spot is continued to the base, connected with the black spot behind the 2nd cubitus 
by a broad black space. — The form glycera Drc. has a broad black costal margin in the hindwing, in which glycera. 
only the outermost edge remains yellow. Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Panama. 
J. subcuneifera Dgn. seems to me to be a form or race of the preceding species. Forewing as in aurifusa. subcuneife- 
hindwing also similar; beneath in the forewing the central band is enlarged, extending to the distal margin, on 
the hindwing only a longitudinal streak on the subcosta, the apex and a spot at the 2nd cubitus remain 
black (like in turgida (71 b)). Expanse 30 to 35 mm. Ecuador. 
J. lativitta Wkr. (71 b). Forewing blackish-brown with a broad yellow longitudinal stripe, which Mivilia. 
is narrower at both its ends and does not reach the distal margin. Hindwing likewise blackish-brown with a 
broad yellow longitudinal streak. Amazons. 
J. ligula Hbn. (= fulvia Cr.) (71 b). Blackish-brown, central area of both wings and hind-margin ligula. 
of the hindwing yellow. The width of the yellow markings varies. From Guiana and Brazil to Bolivia, Ecuador, 
and Peru. 
J. oribia Drc. (= schnusei Strd.) (71 b) is cpiite similar to ligula. the yellow areas are much broader, oribia. 
so that the wings are yellow narrowly bordered with black. Bolivia. 
J. tenuivitta Btlr. Like the preceding, the yellow markings narrower, particularly in the forewing, tenuivitta. 
Amazons, Guiana, Ecuador, Peru. 
J. infausta sp. n. (71 b). Forewing broader, in the shape more similar to mononeura (71 c). Forewing infausta. 
blackish-brown with a yellow longitudinal streak as in tenuivitta. Hindwing with a streak as in ligula. Expanse 
31 mm. Colombia. $ type from the Rio S. Juan in the Berlin Museum. 
J. cruciata Btlr. The first abdominal segment above with a yellow ring. Streak of forewing very cruciata. 
narrow, that of hindwing begins here and in the following species not at the base, but at y 3 of the hind-margin. 
Streaks of both wings almost equally broad. Central America to Brazil and Peru. 
J. annul a ta Dgn. (= punonis Strd.) (71 d) is probably the same species as cruciata. with a broader annulata. 
streak of the hindwing. Range like that of cruciata. 
J. tamara sp. n. (71 d) is very closely allied to annulata, the yellow bands are in both wings broader, tamara. 
extending almost to the margin. There remains but a very fine margin black (in annulata the yellow band 
ends % mm before the margin). Base of abdomen with a yellow ring, fringe at the hind-margin of the hindwing 
yellow. Honduras, $ type in the Berlin Museum. 
J. aurimutua Wkr. (? = fulvia Him., ? jesuita F.) (71 c). Similar to cruciata. fringe at the hind- aurbmdua. 
margin of the hindwing black. Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil. 
J. infenupta Warr. (71 a). The yellow stripe of the forewing is centrally sometimes interrupted by interrupt a. 
black scaling, the ground-colour of the forewing is brown, not black, though not so light as in the next species, 
the streaks on both wings pale yellow, still narrower than in tenuivitta. Expanse 3fi mm. Colombia.

forewing. 
J. niononeura Hbn. (= mitis Wkr.) (71 c). The streak of the forewing is very narrow, posteriorly mononeura. 
with short projections on the cubital branches. Abdomen beneath blackish-grey. Brazil, Colombia. Uruguay. 
J. similis sp. n. is coloured the same, but the abdomen beneath is white, somewhat smaller. Para, similis.

J. insincera Prt. (71 b). Streak of forewing broader, posteriorly hardly with projections, abdomen insincera.

j. ligata Wkr. (71 d). Wings blackish-brown with moderately broad yellow streaks, on both wings ligaia.
