06 . r 
costa thicker, black, excurved, then outcurved and crenulate from vein 7 to vein 2, then vertical to inner margin. 
Hindwing: postmedial line as above, but very fine and faint, followed by an outcurved crenulate line. Expanse: 
26 mm. Passa Quatro, Minas, Brazil. The specimen is somewhat worn, but there are indications of the termen 
being crenulate. — hyginia /. n. (88 f) Male : Head and palpi bittersweet pink. Collar light pinkish cinnamon, hyginut 
Thorax and abdomen vinaceous buff with a few black scales. Wings vinaceous buff: a wavy dentate antemedial 
vinaceous fawn line; outer line as in aeljrida , also the discal spot. Forewing: termen opposite cell and at tornus 
suffused with cinnamon drab. Hindwing: the line preceded and followed by an irregular huffy brown shade; 
termen narrowly orange cinnamon. Forewing below: inner margin, apex and termen between veins 2 and 4 
pale greyish vinaceous, the wing otherwise pinkish cinnamon; the line outcurved, crenulate from vein 8. Hind¬ 
wing below pinkish buff suffused with light vinaceous cinnamon; the line postmedial, outcurved, crenulate. 
The termen of both wings distinctly crenulate. Expanse: 29 mm. Passa Quatro, Brazil. — hoppia /. n. (88 f). hoppia. 
Male : Differs from M. aeljrida Schs. in its larger size and the even termen of both wings. On the forewing veins 
7 and 8 are from the cell instead of being stalked, probably not a constant character. Expanse: 32 mm. Rio 
de Janeiro, Brazil. Type in Collection Hopp. 
10. Genus: Zapliaiiia Dyar. 
Male-. Antenna bipectinate, short beyond middle. Palpi short, upturned. Forewing broad; apex acute; 
termen straight below apex, angled at vein 3; vein 2 from middle of cell: 3 close to angle; 4 from angle; 5 from 
middle of discocellular; 6 from upper angle; 7 and 8 stalked; 9 and 11 from cell. Hindwing: termen straight 
from apex to vein 3, angled and usually slightly toothed; vein 2 from middle of cell: 3 and 4 close together; 
5 from middle of discocellular; 6 from upper angle; 7 from before end of cell. 
Type : Z. infantilis Dyar. 
Z. infantilis Dyar (= fraterna Schs.). (88 f) Male: Head and thorax clay colour. Abdomen avellaneous, inf until 
darker on segments posteriorly. Wings warm buff or ocher yellow; base dark vinaceous drab; a purplish 
marginal shade; some scattered dark scales. Forewing: costal margin from before middle to apex yellowish 
white; traces of a postmedial crenulate line; a few outbent fuscous lunules from costa before apex. Wings below 
maize yellow with a few dark irrorations; base more narrowly pale purplish limited by an inbent wavy and 
interrupted fuscous black line. Forewing with the lunules from costa subterminal below vein 8, well inset below 
vein 3. Hindwing: a postmedial fuscous crenulate line, upeurved between veins 4 and 2. Expanse: 22 mm. 
British and French Guiana; Costa Rica; Guatemala. 
11. Genus: Meiievia gen. n. 
Male: Frenulum highly developed. Antenna bipectinate to tips, diminishing from base. Palpi upturned 
smoothly scaled with slight fringe below. Legs hairy; hind tibiae with short terminal spins. Forewing: apex 
falcate; outer margin sinuous; vein 2 from beyond middle of cell; 3 from before angle: 4 from lower angle; 5 
from below middle of discocellular, as near vein 4 as is vein 3; 6 from upper angle; 7 and 8 stalked; 9 and 11 
from cell; 10 as a short spur from 9. Hindwing: vein 2 from well beyond middle of cell: 3 and 4 well apart; 
5 nearer 4 than middle of discocellular; 6 from upper angle; 7 from lief ore end of cell. 
Type : M. lantona Schs. 
M. lantona Schs. (88 f). Male: Very similar to lucara. Body and wings cinnamon buff: at angle of line lantona 
on forewing pinkish cinnamon. Forewing: the line very faint on costal margin. Hindwing: the line cinnamon, 
the suffusions paler near inner margin. Forewing below light drab with pinkish cinnamon suffusions at outer 
line below costa; the line cinnamon on costa replaced from angle by the white line which is more vertical; 
below vein 3 the line appears again, threadlike and inbent; discal spot well marked, black. Hindwing below 
light cinnamon buff; the line almost subterminal, very faint and fine, clay colour; some pinkish cinnamon at 
anal angle. Expanse: 34 mm. French Guiana; Panama; Muzo, Colombia. 
M. lucara Schs. (88 f). Male: Head and collar pale drab grey. Body above light drab, the thorax in lucara. 
front cinnamon drab. Fore wing vinaceous buff, with some scattered black scales, slightly paler at base limited 
by an outcurved light cinnamon drab antemedial line: an outcurved whitish fascia from middle of costa to 
hase of vein 3, with a fine black discocellular line on its inner edge; some cinnamon suffusions postmedially to 
outer line chiefly within angle of line; line oblique from costa, excurved, snuff brown sharply angled, fuscous 
to inner margin, with a white line on its outer edge from angle excurved to termen at vein 2, at angle upeurved- 
towards apex, angled and inbent with a. fuscous line above it- to just below apex where the costal edge is white ; 
termen beyond curved white line drab grey, below the line to tornus purplish grey cilia tipped with white.
