undulating brown bands; fringes between the veins white-spotted. Hindwing along the veins reddish and with 
white fringe. Expanse of wings: 17 lines. Brazil. 
20. Genus: JSesara Wkr. 
This genus which is generally better known by the name of Ocha Wkr. is anatomically in no way separable 
from E ugly phis and therefore really not justified; nevertheless we keep it up as a habitual group; the species 
are at best to be separated by their small size, their relatively slender body and broad round wings. The species 
are mostly very similar, difficidt to distinguish, and some of them may have to be cancelled as synonyms. 
Genotype: N. apicalis Wkr. 
N. casada Schs. (85 e). Forewing yellowish, above the median as far as the posterior transverse line casadu. 
and at the distal margin shaded with violet, with a dark brown basal half of the cell; the 3 transverse lines 
are brown, the anterior line introangular above the inner margin, a median one turns lighter at the costal and 
inner margins, the postmedian line close behind it is double; at the cell-end 2 black dots; between 5 and 6 a 
dark brown shadow extends to the subterminal line, above it there is a purely yellow area; the subterminal 
line itself is dark brown only between 6 and 8, the rest of it irregular, at the costal margin inside shaded with 
brown, in the lower half only marked by violet shading. Hindwing light yellow with 3 brown costal-marginal 
lines. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Costa-Rica. 
N. fumicosta sp. n. (58 d) is similar to casacla-, forewing light ochreous, but at the costal margin only fumicosta. 
hardly as far as below the upper edge of the cell and from there along 9 to the distal margin dusted with vio- 
lettish-grey, and narrowly the distal margin in the upper half; in the yellowish portion there are 5 feeble oblique 
brownish ochreous transverse lines visible, at the cell-end 2 black dots; fringe in the upper half speckled with 
brown; the dark spot between 5 and 6 is entirely absent. Hindwing yellowish-white, without markings. Peru. 
Type: 1 in the Berlin Museum. 
N. pallida Btlr. (= patara Drc.) (85 cl) is probably the same species as casada, but of a more gravel- pallida. 
yellow ground-colour without the lilac irroration, the postmedian transverse line reddish-white, the spot between 
5 and 6 rusty red; inside shaded with black. Hindwing lighter; from the Rio Negro (Colombia); Druces patara 
probably refers only to a very pale whitish specimen; the latter originates from South East Peru: Santo Domingo. 
N. caramina Schs. (85 e) is ochreous brown on the body and more yellowish on the abdomen. Forewing caramina. 
above the median and vein 4 smoky grey, below it ochreous brown, the whole wing strewn with white, more 
intensely so in the grey portion, with brown median and postmedian transverse lines; the whitish subterminal 
line incurved between 4 and 7 with a curved ochreous red spot behind it; a similarly curved white submarginal 
line, with a brown filling at the margin in the concavity; apical veins white, at the cell-end 2 black dots. Hind¬ 
wing yellowish with a brownish-grey double apical shadow. The $ is more unicolourecl yellowish red-brown, 
hindwing distally more intensely shaded with brown, with a lighter subterminal line. Costa-Rica. 
N. lemoulti Schs. Anterior body and forewing light grey, scantily strewn with black, with a brownish lemoulti. 
longitudinal patch from the base through the cell and between 3 and 6 to the white subterminal line which 
forms 3 black-filled lunulae above 6; between the undulating transverse lines, the anterior one of which is 
double, with 2 black cell-end dots. Hindwing and abdomen reddish-yellow; hindwing with a grey costal- 
marginal portion with the beginnings of 2 brown lines and a dark apical streak. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. 
French Guiana. 
N. dacasa Dogn. (85 e). Above reddish ochreous, between the two blackish transverse lines with the dacasa. 
usual two cell-end dots and a black basal shadow below the cell; right behind the postmedian line begins, 
between 5 and 6, a crescentiform black shadow ending pointed on 3 at the margin; subterminal line incomplete. 
Hindwing with an irregular blackish marginal shadow. British Guiana. 
N. laurina Dogn. (85 e) is smaller than the preceding species, and lighter yellowish, the markings laurina. 
brownish with much more numerous transverse lines and bands covering the whole wing; a broad median band 
is divided below the costal margin into 2 large crescents enclosing the 2 black cell-end dots; the very broad 
subterminal band is interrupted between 6 and 8, from 3 to the anal angle much narrower; basad and in the 
cell 2 more black dots each; fringe between the veins blackened. Hindwing only with a short apical line. 
Expanse of wings: 21 mm. French Guiana. 
N. gorgas Schs. (85 f). Body light lilac brown; forewing above the median and vein 4 grey; below it gorgas. 
light brown; of the 3 fine darker transverse lines only the posterior line is more distinct, followed by a light 
line which is curved behind the cell, the cellular spaces between 4 and 8 behind it darker grey; before the 
white subterminal lunulae between 5 and 6 there is an orange brown spot; fringe speckled with dark brown. 
The yellowish hindwing is shaded at the costal margin, with short apical lines. Expanse of wings: 25 mm. 
Joinville. 
N. ocruma Schs. (85 f). Forewing reddish-yellow, strewn with light reddish-brown; with 2 black dots ocruma. 
at the cell-end; between the rather indistinct postmedian line and the subterminal line, between 4 and 6, a large
