A. antica Wkr. (= rutila Drc., carya Drc., amycla Drc.) (89 i). Male: Very similar to flavaria. Forewing antica. 
with the costal spot smaller, and forming two spots one above and one below vein 7. The colour varies from 
pale drab grey to avellaneous and light buff. Postmedial line usually filled with darker colours below vein 4. 
Female: Also very similar to that sex of flavaria but the base of cilia on interspaces is never white. Expanse: 
Male 24 mm (average); female 34—40 mm. Costa Rica; Panama; Colombia; Venezuela. 
A. ortygia Drc. (= amphea Drc.) (89 k). Male: Forewing acute, slightly falcate; veins 3 and 4 on hindwing ortygia. 
sometimes from angle. Fore wing pale vinaceous fawn or pinkish buff suffused below cell with pinkish cinnamon; 
lines dark and very similar to antica ; a black point or line on discocellular; dark triangular shading on termen 
opposite cell. Hindwing usually vinaceous cinnamon, the lines faint; inner margin with a light buff spot and 
similar short lines alternating with chestnut-brown lines. Wings below mostly vinaceous cinnamon. Forewing 
with dark smoky shading from costa before apex oblique to termen. Hindwing: a black line on discocellular; 
medial line very fine, faint, to inner margin beyond middle; postmedial line slightly curved, dark olivaceous 
brown outwardly edged with white, reaching inner margin in a little above anal angle. Female: Forewing 
ochraceous tawny, the lines slightly darker; antemedial vertical, double; outer lines lunular, wider apart on 
costa, the subterminal with clusters of white scales at veins. Hindwing rufous or orange buff, only the outer 
line distinct. Expanse: Male 38 mm; female 35 -38 mm. Costa Rica; Colombia; Peru. 
A. limosa Schs. (89 k). Male: Forewing light greyish buff, the inner margin suffused with light limosa. 
ochraceous buff; faint traces of a slightly darker lunular line; two fuscous spots on discocellular; postmedial 
line double, well apart, fine lunular with black points on veins; termen narrowly buffy brown from vein 3 to 
apex. Hindwing light ochraceous salmon; a fine outer line near inner margin, the latter zinc orange and white. 
Forewing below avellaneous; costa ochraceous salmon; a subapical fuscous shade. Hindwing below' avellaneous, 
the inner half somewhat whitish; a faint darker medial line; outer line more distinct somewhat punctiform. 
Expanse: 26 mm. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 
A. tarasia sp.nov. (89 k). Male: Body vinaceous buff with some ochraceous buff mottling on collar tarasia. 
and tegulae. Forewing light olivaceous drab; antemedial and postmedial lines hair brown, double filled in 
with drab; costal edge tawny cinnamon; some white mottling below costa and on veins of termen; an inter¬ 
rupted terminal black line. Hindwing avellaneous suffused with vinaceous fawn on termen; inner margin 
tawny cinnamon crossed by white lines; lines very faint, fuscous. Forewing below avellaneous, the apical third 
suffused with fuscous; costa tawny; a black line on discocellular. Hindwing below vinaceous buff, the lines 
hair brown, distinct; a hair brown line on discocellular. Expanse: 21 mm. Santa Catherina, Brazil. Type in 
Staudinger collection (Berlin Museum). 
A. symphora sp. nov. (89 k). Male: Antenna black. Head and thorax vinaceous buff. Abdomen light symphora. 
ochraceous salmon. Forewing cinnamon drab; base narrowly and costa clay colour; a double antemedial 
fuscous line, outbent on costa to median; postmedial line double, fuscous, outcurved on costa and vertical, 
the outer part lunular; a narrow terminal dark shade from vein 2, bifurcating above vein 4. Hindwing zinc 
orange with dark terminal shading at anal angle. Wings below ochraceous orange, the apex of forewing 
broadly buckthorn brown. Expanse: 21 mm. Petropolis, Brazil. Type in U.S. Nat. Museum. This species is 
of delicate build, the antenna with very long pectinations and the abdomen not reaching beyond middle of 
inner margin of hindwing, otherwise agreeing with Anticla. 
6. Genus: Clhencya gen. nov. 
Male: Palpi short, porrect. Antenna bipectinate, the pectinations long. Forewing: costa arched at 
apex, excised below apex. Vein 2 from beyond middle of cell; 3 and 4 stalked; 5 from middle of discocellular; 
6, 7, 8, 9, 11 stalked; 10 absent. Hindwing: termen rounded slightly prolonged at anal angle; vein 2 from near 
end of cell; 3 and 4 well stalked; 5 from middle of discocellular; 6 and 7 on long stalk; 8 anastomosing with 
7 near base. 
Type: Ch. morrisa Schs. 
Ch. morrisa sp.nov. Male: Body vinaceous fawn, underneath avellaneous. Forewing rather thinly morrisa. 
scaled, vinaceous fawn; faint traces of darker antemedial double, and medial wavy lines; a dark point at lower 
angle of cell; postmedial line double, lunular; terminal fawn colour shading at sinus. Hinclwing thinly scaled 
pinkish buff; scaling denser on inner margin fawn colour with whitish transverse lines medially and post- 
medially. Expanse: 20 mm. St. Jean, French Guiana. 
Ch. irrufata Dogn. Male: Body and forewing pale honey yellow, the wings thinly scaled. Forewing: irrufata. 
costa cinnamon buff; two tawny olive points on discocellular; a remote whitish outer line well outcurved, below 
vein 4 incurved to vein 2 then slightly outcurved, defined on inner edge by slightly darker honey yellow.
