A. inviolata Dogn. (140 a) is somewhat like adrastria. Forewing above yellowish-grey, transverse lines 
hardly darker and rather indistinct; before the centre 2 lines, the extrabasal one twice angled and strewn with 
black, the exterior one bent, wavy; the postmedian line excurved behind the cell, the undulately dentate 
subterminal line blackish with more prominent vein-dots and, like adrastria , with a deeply dentate antemarginal 
line between 4 and the apex; above the whitish-scaled cross-vein a light reddish spot; subterminal and marginal 
areas strewn somewhat darker. Hindwing somewhat more reddish, at the inner margin marked brown with 
a white oblique streak above the anal angle. Expanse of wings: 44 -48 mm. San Antonio, Cali, Colombia. 
A. sublunulata Schs. (140 a) is very similar to adrastria, ground-colour more whitish; basal area defined 
by a white line extending very obliquely distad from the 1st fifth of the costal margin, returning acute-angled 
on the median and then almost vertically to the inner margin; the inner-marginal spot is almost entirely absent 
and only indicated by a brown border of the white line; lines as in inviolata ; a white subterminal line extends 
from the costal margin to 6 vertically downwards and is then interrupted by a spot of darker irroration, below 
it undulately dentate again and widened. Hindwing ochreous with a fine double postmedian line filled with 
white. Under surface not so red as in adrastria, the black, distally white postmedian line of the hindwing is 
wavy between 5 and the inner margin. Venadio, Sinaloa, Mexico. 
A. briickneri sp. n. (140 a) resembles a pale sublunulata, of a soft greyish-brown colour, without any 
trace of the oblique line from the costal margin to the anal angle; lines as in the preceding species, but all very 
fine, the two median ones double, somewhat faded and in feebly darker brownish clouds; the two basal inner- 
marginal spots are situate one above the other and punctiform; the subapical small white hyaline spot is very 
small, outside pupilled black. Hindwing somewhat lighter, at the inner margin whitish with 3 brown strigiform 
spots near the anal angle. Under surface very pale and indistinctly marked. Guatemala. Type 1 $ in the 
Berlin Museum. 
A. banepa Drc. was not before me. According to the kind information by Schaus it is very near to 
heptaloba-, greyer, the dark basal inner-marginal spot very distinct; postmedian line bifurcating below the 
costal margin and expanded into a triangle with dark spots and a small hyaline spot. South-Eastern Peru, 
8. Domingo. 
A. heptaloba Drc. (= bunca Dyar ) (140 a) is larger than the preceding ones, in marking almost the 
same, in colour red-brown with a cinnamon pink tint; the basal inner-marginal spots reduced to two narrow 
streaks one above the other, behind the antemedian line with an obsolete broader wavy shadow which is 
connected below the cell with the similar postmedian shadow by similar irroration. Subterminal line fine 
undulately dentate with a blurred spot-like parallel shadow behind it; below the apex a small white subapical 
spot. Hindwing lighter pinkish-brown with 2 indistinct obsolete nebulous antemedian and postmedian bands 
being darkened like spots at the inner margin. Mexico. According to the kind information by Tams the figure 
in the Biologia is not good, the inner margin of the hindwing in the type shows the usual marking and is not 
without markings. 
A. seiicea Schs. (= erecta Dogn.) (140 b) has narrower wings than the preceding species, the apex not 
produced, with a uniform distal margin. Forewing light reddish-brown, marked very much like heptaloba, 
the fine antemedian line rectangularly angled on the median, from there almost vertical to the inner margin, 
double, filled with lilac white, interior line bordered with dark brown, exterior line distinctly blackish-brown, 
slightly notched, behind it in the feebly darker inner-marginal shading 2 transverse streaks of lilac white scales. 
Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo). 
A. palma Drc. (140 b) is much larger than heptaloba, with more elongate wings, colour of wings more 
blackish-brown with a more yellowish tint, marking the same though somewhat less distinct, in the distal 
inner-marginal half shaded with blackish, with 2 very large velvety black basal inner-marginal spots, the lower 
one wedge-shaped with the point basad, the upper one more oval. Hindwing with a slight reddish tint, a large 
black subanal spot, and a short white line helow it. Colombia, also from the Songo (Bolivia). 
A. milma Dyar (140 b) is very much like heptaloba, but almost by two thirds smaller, of a duller and 
lighter colouring, less red, markings very similar though much finer. Hindwing but little lighter. Mexico. 
A. sadisma Dyar (140 b) is still somewhat lighter, similarly coloured and marked as milma, the basal 2 
inner-marginal spots which are small, strigiform in heptaloba, are represented here by dull brownish grey 
clouding; two small, subapical, white, semitransparent triangular spots, inwardly bordered by blackish-brown. 
Mexico, Misantla. schreiteri Schs. (140 b) of which there are several specimens before me from Argentina is 
hardly a different species, although the far remote patriae are very remarkable; still somewhat smaller with 
somewhat finer markings; I can find no other difference. The origin of 3 and 4 from the same place, as it is 
stated for schreiteri, or separated, varies in both forms and is no constant mark of distinction. 
A. velutina Schs. (140 b). Head and tegulae violettish grey, mesothorax dark brown, the brown ab¬ 
domen scaled grey on the posterior edges of the segments. Forewing basally light brown, bordered by a dark 
line which is strongest at the costal margin; it extends obliquely to below 2, whence it turns towards the inner
