dark violettish-brown spot, the margin behind it is dark grey, between 6 and 7 a black subterminal spot; the 
subterminal line itself is composed of light grey lunulae. Hindwing lilac brown, basad and at the costal margin 
dusted with reddish-yellow. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. French Guiana. 
N. lauda Ore. (85 d) is apparently very variable; in the typical form the forewing is yellowish-white, 
finely streAvn with reddish-brown, especially in the discal area, the transverse lines only indicated by contrasting 
colours between strewn and not strewn areas; at the cell-end 2 black dots with a more or less distinct white 
discal streak between them; between 5 and 6 a subterminal red-brown oblong spot, here the unstrewn whitish 
subterminal line recedes a little and it is inwardly more intensely shaded with red-brown; veins 6 and 7 more 
distinctly set off white, the margin especially between 4 and 7 broader and shaded with darker red-brown; 
behind a white limbal line the fringe between the ends of the veins is brownish. Hindwing light yellow, at the 
costal margin strewn with brown, with the faint beginnings of lines, the subterminal line apicad shaded darkest, 
In many specimens the costal portion is above the median and 4 dusted with violettish-grey in variable intensity; 
the most conspicuous specimens may be named: duala f. n. (85 d), they resemble gorgas and caraniina. Mexico, 
Guatemala. 
N. robuslior sp. n. (85 d). Farther to the south lauda is replaced by a very similar, though invariably 
darker and more unicoloured species which is somewhat larger and stronger. Besides it is extremely variable. 
The principal form is ochreous with dense red-brown irroration. Markings almost the same as in lauda though 
fainter, the subterminal spots between 5 and 6 and the subapical spot light orange, the latter outside bordered 
with light. Hindwing much darker, almost like the forewing, the subapical spot being very prominent in lauda 
is here very feeble. Espiritu Santo; type in the Museum Senkenberg. — f. fuliginosa n. (85 d) is light loam- 
coloured on the body, the wings are all over suffused with a greyish brown. Type: 1 $ from Pacho (Eastern 
Colombia) in the Museum Senckenberg. — f. quindiensis n. (85 d), from the Quindiu Pass, is still much darker, 
on the forewing suffused with steel-black, the median area at the inner margin deep bronze brown, in the 
centre dusted with purple grey. Hindwing almost quite black. Body fox-coloured. Type: 1 J in the Mus. 
Senckenberg. 
N. poecila sp. n. (85 e). Scheme of markings also exactly as in lauda, but it is much larger and inversely 
coloured with respect to its form duala: in the costal half light ochreous, in the proximal half below the cell 
and as far as 6 purple blackish, in the median area deep chestnut-red, of the same colour a spot between 5 
and 6 which passes over subterminally into an orange stripe; the bordering of the median area on the averted 
sides whitish. Subterminal line whitish, in the ochreous portion inside shaded with blackish. Hindwing light 
yellow, subapically with 2 black spots. Body light ochreous, on the metathorax chestnut brown. Mocoa, 
Colombia. Type: 1 in the Coll. W. Hopp, Charlottenburg. 
N. famata Schs. (85 f). Forewing above light reddish-brown, with a dark basal streak, white apical 
veins and fine dark double undulating transverse lines, the postmedian line outside bordered with whitish; 
between 4 and 7 from the cell to the margin a dark shadow in which 3 small red-brown spots border inside 
on the white marginal line; a small dark subapical spot. Hindwing dark brown, at the costal margin lighter, 
enclosing the beginnings of whitish lines; fringe speckled with dark brown. Expanse of wings: 25 mm. Castro, 
Parana. 
N. majorina Schs. is larger than famata, the wings are more whitish, the markings yellowish ochreous, 
the large subterminal spot and the subapical spot of a bright ochreous, inwards dusted with lilac. Hindwing 
of a yellowish-white sulphur-colour, at the costal margin feebly lilac. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Esteban 
Valley (Venezuela). 
N. francesca Schs. seems to me to be extraordinarily allied to the form duala of lauda, but the ground¬ 
colour is a light reddish-brown, above the median and 4 light grey, basad below the cell with a white spot; 
transverse lines double, between the posterior line and the subterminal line with another white undulating 
line between 5 and the inner margin. Hindwing behind a brownish median shadow with darker veins, the 
apical part of the costal margin reddish-brown with the beginning of a light subterminal line therein. Expanse 
of wings: 28 mm. Costa-Rica. 
N. niveipunctata Dogn. (85 f). Forewing yellowish-white, with a small dark brown discal dot and a 
postmedian line formed of brown irroration and receding far between 4 and 5; between 7 and 10 subterminal 
brown irroration, below it between 7 and 6 a quadrangular pure white spot, and 3 white dots between 6 and 3 
below it; before the speckled black-brown fringe a white line. Hindwing lighter. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. 
Sao Paulo de Olivenga (Amazons). 
N. laxta Drc. (85 f), described as Dalcera, unknown to me. The insufficient description runs as follows: 
forewing brownish-grey, from the costal margin to the inner margin traversed by undulating fine brown lines. 
Hindwing dark grey, basally lighter. Beneath grey without markings; body light grey, antennae and legs 
light brown. Expanse of wings: 1% in. Sarayacu (Ecuador). 
N. apicalis Wkr. (85 e). Forewing light yellowish-white with slightly darker transverse lines and 1 or 2 
black cell-end dots; a blackish apical spot is divided by the white subterminal line which is broadly bordered 
with ruddle-red between 4 and 7 on both sides; below it the fringe is speckled with blackish; the median vein
