ART ACE. By Dr. M. Drattdt. 
menuve. A. inenuve Schs. (82 b) has likewise black palpi, the white body is above tinted with sandy grey. 
Forewing white, scantily scaled, somewhat opalescent with black dots as in argentina, but with black marginal 
streaks on the veins and without the fine black marginal line, only with the small internerval spots. The white 
hindwing at the anal margin with light sand-coloured hairs. South-Eastern Brazil (SSo Paulo). 
sisoes. A. sisoes Schs. (82b) is a larger species very similar to cribraria f. connecter, body above with more 
sandy grey hair. Forewing of S scantily scaled, ojjalescent, the black dots as in the two preceding species, but 
the postmedian row forms short vein-streaks, a subterminal grey narrow transverse band is parted by the 
veins; veins in the marginal area strewn with black. Hindwing with a smoky black subterminal line 
being the most distinct at the anal angle. In the § the forewing is greyer, the dots are partly connected by lines. 
Hindwing grey with a white marginal band. Guatemala, Amazons (from Casa Branca in the Coll. Staudinger). 
meridiona- A. meridionalis Schs. In the $ the forewing above is white, with 3 rows of dark grey vein-dots and 
Iis - two at the cell-end; subterminally and at the margin one dusty grey transverse band each, and on the margin 
a row of black internerval spots. Hindwing above grey, at the anal margin darker. Head and thorax grey 
abdomen above dark grey, beneath white. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. 
imnctivena. A. punctivena Wkr. (82 b) is very similar, the wings above greyer, but very scantily scaled, particularly 
the body darker grey; on the forewing the dots as in the preceding species, behind and before the small subter¬ 
minal grey spots we notice a somewhat more distinct white ground-colour. Hindwing with a feeble grey subter¬ 
minal band which is only more intense at the anal angle. Colombia, Brazil. 
amda. A. anula Schs. (82 b). Palpi black, forewing white with 6 grey, undulatingly dentate transverse lines, 
with black vein-streaks interrupted by these lines, the two central lines together forming rings above the inner 
margin; besides a subterminal grey undulating line, and at the margin black internerval streaks; hindwing 
with a blackish anal angle; abdomen blackish. In the $ the transverse undulating lines and the subterminal 
band sand-coloured brownish. Hindwing smoky excepting the white margin and a narrow subterminal band. 
Brazil. 
coprea. A. coprea sp. n. (82 c) is a very large species of a quite dark colour, on the yellowish-red ground 
densely dusted with a neutral grey, the darkest in the subterminal area; veins still darker yellowish-red, the 
rows of vein-dots strigiform, on vein 2 five black streaks at equal distances, the black internerval dots at the 
margin very thick. Thorax dark neutral grey, intermixed with yellow-reddish hairs. Abdomen absent. Hindwing 
on the yellowish-red ground densely powdered with grey. According to 1 2 without any habitat stated, presumably 
from Brazil (type in the Berlin Museum). 
lilloi. A. iilloi Giac. (81 e) is a very different small species, uniformly light ashy grey, the legs with somewhat 
darker rings; on the fore wing from the centre of the inner margin to the apex a black oblique line, but not 
quite reaching the apex; at the cross-vein there is a comma-shaped black streak; the oblique line may also 
be absent; all the veins distinctly black, at the margin there are black internerval spots. Expanse of wings: 
22 mm. La Rioja (Argentina). 
helier. A. helier Schs. (82 c). This species belongs to the group of species with red palpi; palpi blackish-brown, 
the last joint carmine; the white body is covered with drab hair; on the abdomen with dark transverse lines. 
Forewing light neutral grey, with darker grey transverse lines, the costal margin and veins white, on all the 
lines with short black vein-streaks, the subterminal shadow more spotted; the small terminal spots extend 
into the fringes. Hindwing whitish with a grey anal margin and distal-marginal band. - The $ is larger and 
scantily scaled. Castro (Parana), Rio de Janeiro. 
aemula. A. a emu la sp. n. (82 c) is allied to helier, but also similar to amda from which it differs in the rosy 
red palpi. Body with very light sand-coloured hair. Forewing very light brownish-white, costal margin not 
pink at the base, with very indistinct dull and blurred sandy brownish undulate lines and a somewhat more 
distinctly prominent median band; behind the row of subterminal spots the margin is somewhat whiter with 
extremely feeble, brownish, anteterminal diffuse spots; in this species the fringes are speckled with brownish- 
grey. Hindwing whitish, powdered with a sand-like brownish colour almost as far as the margin. The abdomen 
is absent in the only $ from Rio Grande do Sul. Type in the Coll. Bang-Haas. 
nigripalpis. A. nigripalpis Dogn., described according to a $ from Loja, Ecuador, entirely resembles rubripalpis, 
but it has black palpi, nor any red at the costal margin. Body and wings white, the black dots as usual, above 
the 2 dots at the cell-end there is another dot at the costal margin, the dots of the post median line on 6, 7 and 8 
distally removed, hindwing all white, with black marginal dots as on the forewing. 
albicans. A. albicans Wkr. has red palpi, towards the base black; forewing white, at the base of the costa red, 
with the usual rows of vein-dots, a subterminal row of small brownish spots, and on the margin with the usual 
black small internerval spots, Brazil; the statement ,,Georgia“ is surely wrong.
