A. diana Dogn. (140 e) has broader wings and is darker, the first transverse line is only somewhat angular diana. 
on the median vein, the 2nd antemedian line is almost quite straight, the postmedian line as in jirmiana, but 
it ends farther before the anal angle, the subterminal line is less bent, dying away more and more towards the 
costal margin; a large subapical blackish-brown spot, inwardly faded, distally somewhat angular and bordered 
by a purer white. Hindwing slightly darker brown, without distinct lines. Beneath on the forewing the red- 
brown apex is traversed by 2 white subapical streaks; on the hindwing the postmedian and subterminal lines 
form an irregular V, being broad at the costal margin and united at the inner margin; the red-brown wedge 
is smaller. Colombia. 
A. mehida Drc. I do not know, according to the kind information by Tams the type was not to be found; mehida. 
it must be very similar to diana, but the red-brown hindwing shows above an undulated light greyish-brown 
band from the centre of the costal margin to the centre of the inner margin. Beneath the hindwing is dark reel- 
brown, with a light submarginal line, and the abdomen beneath is dark brown. South-Eastern Peru. 
A. dianita Dogn. (140 e) is above yellowish greyish-brown on the forewing, the basal inner-marginal spot dianita. 
is bipartite, the lower half a long wedge extending almost to the base; the first antemedian line in its upper 
portion somewhat wavy, inside bordered by a lighter shade; the 2nd antemedian line and the postmedian line 
are almost straight, between them often a discal dot, the subterminal line angular between 6 and 7, the subapical 
triangular spot inside sharply defined, outside adjacent to its white border mostly yet a punctiform spot between 
6 and 7. Hindwing greyish-brown, the light postmedian line on 5 with a distinct angle. Beneath on the hindwing 
the postmedian line is situate farther towards the margin, inside of it the hindwing is blackish-brown, distally 
lighter. Bolivia (Songo). 
A. princeps Dogn. (140 d), described after a female, is very similar, browner, the basal inner-marginal princeps. 
spots smaller, more distinctly separated, outside bordered by an almost pure white colour; the 2nd antemedian 
line is more bent, the postmedian line S-shaped, between both a distinct cell-end dot or streak. Hinclwing 
hardly darker than forewing, the light postmedian line less bent, not angular. Hindwing beneath brown, with 
a darker median band outside bordered with light, inside with dark. Colombia. The figured browner q from 
the Coll. W. Hopp-Charlottenburg from Chachatoy, Colombia, undoubtedly belongs to it. 
A. ilia Dogn. (140 e) is likewise very similar to jirmiana from which it chiefly differs in the large ilia. 
subapical blackish-brown triangular spot of the forewing, which is surrounded by the white fork of the straight 
subterminal line; in jirmiana the median area, in ilia the space between the postmedian and subterminal lines 
is darkened. Hindwing: the whitish postmedian line is quite straight between the costal margin and the sub¬ 
median fold, or it shows a slight angle on 6. The larger $ is mostly lighter yellowish-grey. Hindwing beneath 
also similar as in jirmiana in which, however, the median band forms a very pointed distal angle on 5, whilst 
here it extends as above, rather concave towards the margin. Colombia, Brazil. 
A. iniparata Dogn. (140 f) looks like a small specimen of ilia; ground-coluor much lighter; the basal imparaia. 
inner-marginal spot and the subapical triangular spot are much smaller and paler, the former more strigiform. 
On the feebly reddish hindwing the light, somewhat bent transverse line is much nearer to the margin. Described 
from Paraguay. 
A. quadrata Jones (140 g) is somewhat like imparata; forewing very light greyish-vellow, the basal inner- quadrata. 
marginal spot very large, deep velvety brownish-black; the two antemedian lines feeble, the postmedian line 
more intense; the subapical triangular spot is bipartite, the upper portion smaller. Hindwing reddish-brown, 
the marking from beneath feebly showing through, this marking being very characteristic and forming a large 
chestnut-brown trapezoid spot with a tail-like appendage between 5 and 6 almost to the margin, another one 
to the white-dusted inner margin near the anal angle, and a very short one to the costal margin behind the 
centre; the spot itself begins pointed at the base. Brazil; before me from S. Paulo. 
A. pandara Drc. (140 e) the female type of which is before me from Panama (Chiriqui) e coll. Stgr. is pandara. 
most similar to ilia which it resembles almost entirely in the marking; but the colour is quite different, on the 
forewing reddish light brown, on the hindwing distinctly red-brown; on the forewing the first antemedian line 
is continued analwards as an oblique stripe along vein 2, as it is the case e. g. in the adrastria- group. Beneath 
likewise marked as ilia, but the colour is a warm red-brown. Panama to South Brazil. 
A. pandarioides Schs. (140 e) is very similar, on an average somewhat smaller, more pinkish-brown, pan- 
the postmedian line almost cpiite straight. Hindwing beneath the same, but much more clearly and distinctly dariobh 
marked, especially the almost pinkish-white postmedian line. Guiana. Amazons to Brazil. 
A. pithala Dogn. (140 f) resembles pandarioides in the colour, but the wings are more stretched with piihala. 
an obliquer rounded distal margin; the basal inner-marginal spot is very large, the subapical triangular spot, 
however, altogether absent; all the lines only feebly marked, slightly bent, the subterminal line which is outside
