margin, the basal inner-marginal spot before it appears as a dark brown shadow; median area velvety grey with 
a light streak at the cell-end and outside bordered by the dark undulate postmedian line; at the distal margin 
reddish mixture; a dark subapical velvety brown spot inside bordering on 2 small transparent white spots. 
Hindwing reddish brown, anally much darker, above it with the beginning of a transverse line. Described from 
1 $ with an expanse of 38 mm, from Sao Paulo. 
A. zikani sp.n. (140 b) is very closely allied to velutina. somewhat larger, greyer, but otherwise with ziJcani. 
the same scheme of markings; the basal inner-marginal spot is larger, more distinctly defined blackish-brown; 
the oblique stripe extending from the first quarter of the costal margin towards the anal angle is particularly 
stronger in the upper half; at the cell-end there is a small heap of more whitish scales; at the margin between 
3 and 7 some copper-bronze shading, being broadest on 5. Hindwing somewhat redder than forewing with a 
feebly darker median band which is almost rectangularly angled on 5 and outside bordered by a fine light line.

A. thinaha sp. n. (140 c) is near to brvxkneri ; more coarsely scaled, of a darker blackish-brown ground- thinaha. 
colour, the oblique costal-marginal stripe is merely a fine nebulous line, instead of the basal inner-marginal 
spot there is only a very hazy, small, hardly darker cloud; the fine undulately dentate exterior line is much 
straighter and not indented behind the cell as in its allies; the exterior median line forms a broad, faded, dark 
median shadow; subapically only a small white triangular spot on both sides bordered with blackish-brown. 
Hindwing almost darker greyish-brown than forewing, at the inner margin with a distinct white postmedian 
oblique streak, above and below bordered by blackish-brown. Passo Quatro, Minas. Type 1 in coll. Zikan. 
A. lacetania Drc. (= hiantha Dyar) (140 c). Light grey, feebly strewn with brownish; anterior transverse lacetania. 
line double, indistinct, at the inner margin it forms 2 small lunular spots one above the other, inside bordered 
with black; the costal-marginal oblique streak is outside shaded with brownish grey, it is crossed on 2 by the 
slightly curved postmedian line; the exterior transverse line is undulately dentate as in the preceding species; 
a short white subapical undulate line to which an isolated round white spot is attached between 6 and 7, 
inwardly bordered by long, strong black wedge-streaks; marginal area feebly darkened. Hindwing slightly 
redder with a curved whitish median line which turns whiter at the inner margin, above and below bordered 
with blackish-brown here. Mexico, Zacualpan; somewhat smaller, browner and darker from Mexico City, 
apparently very variable. 
A. parvula Schs. (140 c) is smaller than the preceding species; body brownish-grey; base of abdomen parvula. 
and 2 transverse bands on the thorax darker; forewing grey, strewn with brown, the basal inner-marginal spot 
very large, dark brown, not reaching the base, outside feebly bordered light; the oblique band from the costal 
margin brownish, not reaching the anal angle; the veins situate outside the oblique band are all lighter than 
the ground; at the cell-end a light patch; exterior transverse line distinct whitish, indented behind the cell; 
2 semitransparent small subapical spots inside bordered with blackish-brown. Hindwing brown, inner margin 
greyer and darker, with a whitish postmedian line. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Castro, Parana; Paraguay. 
A. amaryllis Dyar (140 c) is a larger beautiful species, olive grey, with distinct light veins, of the two amaryllis. 
basal inner-marginal spots the upper one is extended almost to the base as a long black wedge-streak, the lower 
one only half as long and more indistinct; anterior transverse line whitish, in the costal half as the interior 
border of the darker oblique band; of the two distal transverse lines the interior one is fine olive brown, the 
exterior one white, forked to the costal margin on 6, enclosing a black triangle parted by white between, 
Hindwing lighter with a slightly darker median band, distally bordered by a white line which is angled 
submedianly and on 5. Mexico. 
A. pudefacta Dyar (= uvada Barnes ) (140 c) is light grey, with black basal inner-marginal spots, the pudefacta. 
lower one larger, outside bordered with whitish, then again dark; the white oblique costal-marginal streak 
borders on a brownish oblique band which is widened at the inner margin towards the anal angle; at the cell-end 
a whitish patch; the interior line of the two distal transverse lines is quite indistinct and hardly darker, the 
exterior one white and shaped as in amaryllis. Hinclwing likewise as in amaryllis. - doramia Dyar is only a doramia.

A. jessica Dyar (140 c) is extraordinarily similar to pudefacta, but from the same patria without any jessica. 
transitions, for which reason it is regarded a distinct species. Altogether smaller, greyer, the basal inner-marginal 
spot small, of a dull brownish grey, obsolete, not distinctly bipartite, the interior one of the two distal lines 
finer and more distinct than in pudefacta-, the whitish median line on the hindwing uniformly bent, not angular.

the more curved line on the hindwing and the distinct blackish-brown basal inner-marginal spot on the forewing; 
the white distal line is less distinct and the blackish-brown subapical spots are outside not bordered by 2 
separate white spots, but by a white short undulate line. floramia Dyar, from Guatemala, likewise approxi- floramia. 
mates pudefacta, but the oblique white line from the costal margin cuts here the dark distal line and is prolonged 
to the white subterminal line near the anal angle; on the hindwing the white line is angular as in pudefacta, 
far proximad remote from the margin and proximad to it there is a parallel dark line.
