chromana. Q. chromana sp. nov. (89 i). Male: Head and front of collar cinnamon brown. Thorax Prout’s brown 
irrorated with pale silvery blue hairs. Abdomen chestnut. Fore wing benzo-brown thinly irrorated with pale 
silvery blue scales, the lines verona brown placed as in veca] subterminal line fuscous suffusing with fuscous 
shading between veins 4 and 6; the space between veins 3 and 4 sometimes light greyish olive; termen largely 
greyish olive partly edged by a submarginal fuscous line below vein 4 and costa. Hindwing silky benzo-brown, 
the costa pale drab grey; termen narrowly and inner margin more broadly Sanford’s brown. The lines black, 
very faint. Forewing below hair brown, the costa and apex English red. Hindwing below dull English red, 
brightest on termen; a small black and white discal spot; lines fine, black, with some white on subterminal 
near inner margin; a raw-umber shade at anal angle. Female very similar to veca, but darker and with scattered 
pale silvery blue scales. Expanse: Male 29 mm; female 37 mm. Tuis, Costa Rica; Chiriqui, Panama. 
amisena. Q. amisena Drc. “Male: Primaries dull brown, crossed by three waved darker brown lines, and close 
to the apex an elongated reddish-brown spot. Secondaries brown, with three short white streaks along the 
inner margin. The head, thorax, and abdomen yellowish brown; antennae dark brown. The female is consi¬ 
derably larger and much darker in colour, the primaries being much irrorated with grey scales; the secondaries 
are also blacker. Expanse: Male l 3 / 4 inch.; female 2 inches. Ecuador, Sarayacu (Buckley, Mus. Druce). A 
very distinct species, allied to veca, from the Volcan de Chiriqui.” This species is unknown to me. 
reissi. Q. reissi Maass. Male: Only known to me by the figure in Stubel Reise. Forewing drab grey with 
lines as in veca. The underside of hindwing shows a black point without any white. Similar in size to veca. 
Colombia. 
ficus. Q. ficus H.-S. (= cachiana Sells.) (89 i). Female: Head, collar, and thorax greenish buff. Abdomen 
ochreous; a dark grey dorsal line and transverse black band on basal segment. Fore wings: basal third greenish 
buff, limited by the inner line, which is whitish, finely edged with fuscous grey, oblique to median between 
veins 2 and 3, angled and inwardly oblique; space to outer line greyish, tinged with green on costa, crossed 
by a medial and a postmedial fuscous shade; the outer line whitish, tinged with lilacine, straight to vein 4, then 
slightly inbent and faintly lunular between veins; the outer margin greenish from vein 5 to costa, below 5 
silvery grey, leaving a greenish shade along outer line from 3 to inner margin; a subterminal brownish shade 
from 5 to 7; veins 5—7 terminally brownish. Hindwings dull greenish buff; the inner margin dark olive-green, 
crossed by a white antemedial line, and a downbent semioval white line postmedially; a fuscous postmedial 
shade followed by lilacine shading from vein 2 to inner margin; the outer line lilacine white, edged with fuscous, 
terminating at anal angle, which is considerably produced. Wings below greenish ochre, the apical area of 
forewings and outer margin of hindwings brighter; a fuscous postmedial line; the outer line whitish: a w r hite 
discal spot on hindwings. The line on underside of hindwings is more like the line on the species of Anticla. 
Expanse: 57 mm. Cachi, Costa Rica. 
5. Genus: Anticla Wkr. 
Palpi slender, smoothly scaled, upturned to frons. Antenna bipectinate. Legs moderately hairy. 
Forewing: costa slightly curved, apex acute; termen nearly straight; vein 2 from middle of cell; 3 and 4 from 
lower angle; 5 from middle of discocellular; 6—9 stalked; 10 absent; 11 from cell. Hindwing: termen rounded; 
inner margin somewhat prolonged, the anal angle slightly produced; vein 2 from beyond middle of cell; 3 and 
4 stalked; 5 from middle of discocellular; 6 and 7 well stalked; 8 and 7 connected near base. 
Type: A. antica Wkr. 
flavaria. A. Bavaria Cr. (= flavifuscula Hbn.) (89 i). Male: Body and forewing pinkish buff. Forewing: fine 
darker antemedial, medial, and double postmedial lines, the first two wavy, the last lunular followed on costa

double olive brown lines on inner margin. Forewing below antimony yellow; costa and apex broadly ochraceous 
salmon preceded by a dark olive grey shade. Hindwing below drab grey to outer line; some warm buff shading 
from base to postmedial line below cell; termen mostly antimony yellow; the postmedial line faint, the outer 
line fine, hair brown downbent to inner margin above angle. Female: Forewing isabella colour suffused with 
purplish; base antimony yellow, also the costa expanding before apex and on terminal space at postmedial 
line from vein 4 to vein 1; the lines as in male; a dark point on discocellular; cilia white at base on interspaces.
