A. croesa sp. n. (88 i). Male: Body snuff brown with darker scaling at base of abdomen. Wings to 
line cinnamon drab with a few black scales. Forewing: an antemedial, almost medial snuff brown line, dentate 
vertical across cell, inbent below cell to near base of inner margin, followed in cell by a fuscous shade to the 
sinuous fine white line on discocellular; interspaces beyond cell to line fuscous, the veins huffy brown; costal 
margin to apex buff brown, the costal edge vinaceous fawn; outer line incurved from vein 10 to vein 5 chestnut 
brown edged inwardly with white, below vein 5 outcurved and crenulate inwardly edged with white from vein 2 
to inner margin and between veins 4 and 2 by quadrate hyaline spots; the line is followed from vein 8 to below 
vein 3 by warm buff irrorated with ochraceous salmon and black; at vein 10 the line is outcurved widening 
to apex, with an elongated hyaline spot below it to vein 8, this latter white at termen; termen light, cinnamon 
drab. Hindwing: the line vertical, black from costa to vein 6 inwardly edged with white, from vein 6 to inner 
margin wavy, crenulate, cinnamon brown inwardly edged with light buff from vein 6 to vein 4, and from vein 2 
to inner margin with white; between veins 4 and 2 the line widens and is preceded by a small hyaline spot 
in fork of veins 4 and 3, and by a larger hyaline spot between veins 3 and 2; between vein 4 and 2 the line 
is followed by a rufous patch; termen broadly light cinnamon drab. Wings below light cinnamon drab; the 
edgeing of lines pinkish buff, followed on hindwing by fuscous shading from vein 7 to vein 4, and small fuscous

A. stellifera . sp. n. (88 i). Male: Body light cinnamon drab. Forewing: base light drab limited by a 
curved inbent fawn colour line outwardly edged with light buff; medial space drab crossed by a fine silvery 
white inbent line on discocellular; postmedial line cream colour outwardly edged with army brown, incurved 
from vein 9 to stalk of 7 and 8, then crenulate on each interspace, the line preceded by semihyaline silvery 
white spots between veins 2 and 4, by army brown to discocellular, and between veins 2 and 4, with some black 
scales on the army brown; following the line some ochraceous buff in fork of 7 and 8, and some warm buff 
between 7 and 4 well irrorated with fuscous, from vein 4 to just below vein 2 an expanding light buff shade 
irrorated with olive grey; termen fawn colour, widest between veins 4 and 8; costa from above discocellular to 
near apex drab; a white line from postmedial at vein 9 to termen at vein 8. Hindwing: base drab; a medial line 
as on forewing preceded by a small hyaline spot below vein 3, and a minute spot above 3: no pale shading 
beyond the line; outer space fawn colour with a round postmedial orange cinnamon spot between veins 3 and 2. 
Wings below duller. Expanse: 28 mm. Molinas, Paraguay. 
20. Genus: Roe! in ana gen. n. 
Male: Antenna bipectinate, short beyond middle. Palpi upturned to frons, thickly scaled, smooth. 
Frenulum slight. Forewing: apex acute, falcate, termen slightly sinuous; vein 2 from before middle of cell; 
3 close to 4; 4 from lower angle; 5 from middle of discocellular; 6 -8 stalked. Hindwing: anal angle bluntly 
produced; vein 2 well beyond middle of cell; 3 close to 4 at lower angle; 5 from middle of discocellular; 6 from 
upper angle; 7 before angle. Replaces in the Lacosominae Rod of a. of the Mimalloninae. 
Type: R. maloba Schs. 
R. maloba Schs. (88 i). Male: Head and collar pinkish cinnamon. Thorax and forewing cinnamon 
drab. Abdomen and hindwing vinaceous russet. Some fan-shaped white scales along costa of forewing and 
inner margin of hindwing; discocellular spots hyaline broadly B-shaped. Forewing: an antemedial pinkish 
cinnamon spot below cell, and similar scaling mottled with vinaceous russet at base of inner margin; line fine 
from a small black spot on costa, oblique, excurvecl with bluish white scaling above it, angled and inbent from 
vein 7, crenulate outwardly, finely edged with bluish white scaling and a cream white spot between veins 6 
and 7, and from vein 3 to inner margin followed by a large triangular white patch crossed by a dark dentate 
line; some terminal blue white scaling from vein 4 to apex. Hindwing: a fine and faint dark line almost sub- 
terminal followed by white spots at apex and above anal angle. Wings below as above, somewhat duller. 
Expanse: male, 45—55 mm; female. 57 mm. Guatemala; French Guiana; Amazons; Joinville, S.E. Brazil. 
Also in the Berlin Museum. 
The following two species have not been identified:
