700 APATELODES. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
but the colour is deeper purple brown, the transverse bands and lines have a straighter course. Guiana; 
Amazons (Pebas). The figure denoted as of bombycina most positively does not belong to it and looks more 
like gaveta Dogn. 
A. albipunctata Drc. (140 h) is hardly to be separated specifically from martia and probably its northern 
representative; on the whole larger, lighter, otherwise very similarly marked, the transverse lines more curved 
and more notched, more distinctly greyish-white, the median band in the $ broader and more sharply defined. 
Mexico. 
A. concerpta sp. n. (140 h) is closely allied to the two preceding species, but much larger, more slender 
and more extensively chestnut-red or better deep Pompeian red, so that torn grevish-white colouring only 
appears yet at the apex and sub terminally, beside the two strongly and irregularly notched transverse lines 
and the small discal spot; the marginal area below the apex is also Pompeian red. Hindwing somewhat lighter 
reddish-brown, marked as in albipunctata. Type 1 <$ from Sa. Catharina in the Berlin Museum. fucosa /. n. 
(141 a) I reckon to be a form of it; here the last greyish-white colour has disappeared altogether, only instead 
of the transverse lines there are single light scales, and subterminally below the hyaline spots there is a feeble 
brightening; all the rest is of a deep brownish red, the hindwing as in the typical form. Type: 1 from Passa 
Quatro (Minas) in the Coll. Zikan. 
A. ardeola Drc. (140 h). The figure in the Biologia has been made according to a $ and exactly 
corresponds with ours according to a $ from Leopoldina (Esp. Santo) from the Berlin Museum. Forewing grey, 
basal area and a broad median band deep purple brown, the basal area outside dentately bordered with grey, 
with a purple brown dentate line behind it; in the median band at the cell-end a narrow grey streak; subter¬ 
minal line fine, crenulate, double, the inner portion on the veins inwardly projecting with small pointed dents, 
the exterior portion broader, forming distally faded purple brown bows, bordering above 6 on a large hyaline 
spot which forms the beginning of a submarginal line extending to almost beloAV 3. Hindwing Pompeian red, 
at the anal angle greyish-white. Schaus ranges here as <3 his —- vitrea, described from Costa Rica: thorax above 
dark violettish-brown, abdomen red-brown; forewing dark brown, below the cell and 4 blackish-grey, otherwise 
dusted with reddish; instead of the antemedian line scanty whitish scales, below 5 a fine crenulate lilac grey 
subterminal line, behind it lilac scales; between 6 and 7 a large hyaline sj)ot, between 7 and 8 a smaller one; 
distal margin above 6 and below 5 somewhat incurved. Hindwing dark reddish-brown, at the anal angle scaled 
whitish and spotted darker brown. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. I should much rather consider — mediana 
Sells. (140 h), from Parana, to be the belonging to ardeola the colouring and marking of which fully corresponds 
with its $ type; our figure originates from a Brazilian specimen, ardeola was originally described from Panama 
and the Amazons. 
A. nina Cr. (141 b) is a small light grey species with a slight reddish tint, the reddish-brown basal area 
shaped as in ardeola-, instead of the median band only 2 chestnut-red spots at the costal and inner margin; 
subterminal line likewise as in ardeola, extending almost straight to close before the anal angle; between it and 
the hyaline spot a red triangular spot at the costal margin; submarginal line as in ardeola. Hindwing lighter 
red-brown, analwards whitish-grey. Guiana to Brazil. 
A. moresca Sells. (141 b) is extraordinarily similar, though larger and much darker on the whole; 
the grey colouring is less reddish, the red-brown colour deep purple brown; course of subterminal line not so 
straight but rather somewhat concave towards the margin. Hardly to be separated specifically from nina and 
probably its westernmore representative in Peru and Colombia. 
A. lepida Scks. (141 b) also belongs yet to this group. Forewing of a soft light grey, the basal area not 
darker, outside bordered by a fine notched line, adjacent to the latter at the costal and inner margins one dark 
red brown spot each, the median area remaining light, at the cell-end a fine black streak; at the costal margin 
a large postmedian red-brown trapezoid spot; postmedian line very indistinct, with fine vein-dots, an irregular 
subterminal line is somewhat better marked, between 6 and 7 a hyaline spot; fringe dark brown. Hindwing 
as in the preceding species though less red. Described from Dutch Guiana. 
A. tropea Sells. (141 b), described as Thelosia, is now ranged here by Schaus; it looks exactly like a 
small Olceclostera. Forewing grey, in places dusted with brownish and strewn with blackish-brown, with a 
notched brownish, finely darker edged antemedian band, a light grey cell-end streak, and a brown postmedian 
band; the interior very dark border-line is not notched, only feebly bent, the exterior line regularly notched, 
on the outside of it below the costal margin a small white spot and faint traces of a short dark submarginal line 
in the upper half of the distal margin. Hind wing very light, brownish-white, fringe somewhat darker. Castro 
(Parana). 
A. pervicax Dogn. (141 b) was described as Zanola; forewing light yellowish red-brown with 3 almost 
straight transverse lines, the antemedian and postmedian ones on the averted sides bordered with whitish, the
