702 THELOSIA; FALCATELODES. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
2. Genus: Tlielosia Schs. 
Very near to Apatelodes, distinguished by the somewhat more produced, more pointed apex of the 
forewing and the rounded or straighter, on 5 produced distal margin. Neuration exactly as in Apatelodes or 
Colabata, but sometimes vein 9 of fore wing is absent or it is stalked with 10 on 8. Hindwing of A rounded with 
a straight costal margin, of $ more elongate. 
Type : Th. phalaena Schs. 
Th. phalaena Schs. (141 d) A above without any markings dark reddish brown; beneath duller brown, 
at the costal margins in both wings densely strewn with chrome, with black cellular dots and a brown distal 
transverse line. The $ is above dull brown with 2 darker brown almost straight transverse lines which are 
outside very broadly strewn with light violettish grey like the basal area and the thorax. Abdomen and hindwing 
light yellowish ochreous with an indistinct cellular dot and a brown postmedian line parallel to the margin. 
Brazil (Novo Friburgo). 
Th. camina Schs. is in the female very similar to phalaena , but the exterior line is bent from the costal 
margin to 2 from where it extends straight to the inner margin; the violettish-grey dusting is absent, the 
forewing is more fawn-coloured, finely strewn with a darker brown. Hindwing with an indistinct dark median 
line. The median area is sometimes prominently darker brown. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Castro (Parana). 
A still unknown. 
Th. resputa sp. n. (141 d). Forewing of $ on the very light yellowish grey ground densely strewn with 
brown with 2 very faint darker brown transverse lines, the anterior one slightly bent, broad, faded, the posterior 
one narrower, obliquer than in phalaena from close before the apex to the last quarter of the inner margin, 
outside edged somewhat lighter; between them at the cell-end a whitish discal dot. Hindwing light ochreous 
with a very faint median spot, the postmedian line parallel to the margin. Type: 1 $ from an unknown habitat 
e coll. Stgr. in the Berlin Museum. 
Th. postflavida sp. n. (141 d). Thorax brownish-grey, abdomen ochreous. Forewing of A on the light 
greyish-yellow ground densely strewn with blackish with 3 indistinct darker purple brown nebulous lines, the 
broadest close behind a faded discal spot, behind it another subterminal line. Hindwing lemon-coloured, two 
thirds of the inner margin transversely irrorated with blackish, with 2 black transverse shadows obliterating 
towards the costal margin and running parallel to the distal margin, the median one being strongest, the 
subterminal one much fainter. Type: 1 A from Passa Quatro, Minas, Brazil in coll. J. Zikan. 
Th. truvena Schs. (141c) A light greyish-brown, finely strewn darker, with a straight brown antemedian 
line and a brownish shadow behind it; at the cell-end a small black dot with a straight brown line behind it; 
before the margin besides 2 very fine, rather indistinct lines with darker scales between them. Hindwing light 
fawn with 2 very indistinct brown transverse lines. South Eastern Brazil, Sao Paulo. 
Th. truncata Schs. (141 e), described as Trabala also belongs to this place. Forewing of A yellowish 
brown, with an indistinct basal and an irregular median brown transverse line; a stronger straight brown 
oblique postmedian line and behind it another feebler one. Hindwing brownish yellow with an indistinct 
brownish median line. Castro, Parana. rectilinea Dogn., according to the information by Schaus, is merely 
a local form of it, of a similar colouring, but behind the straight postmedian line we miss the following finer line; 
nor are the two feeble antemedian lines mentioned in the description. Bolivia (Songo). 
Th. jorgenseni Schs. (141 e) is similar though darker, particularly the hindwing. Forewing cinnamon- 
brownish, the basal area darker, at the cross-vein a small blackish-brown dot; the dark brown postmedian 
line is quite straight, with a fine somewhat wavy line behind it; another fine submarginal cucullate line from 
7—2. Hind wing darker loamy brown, at the margin cinnamon-brownish with a feeble discal dot and a brown 
indistinct median line. Paraguay. 
Th. minois Schs. (141 e) is still much darker, deep red-brown, with very faint traces of a darker ante¬ 
median line, an indistinct discal dot and a stronger but also nebulous postmedian line which runs as in jorgenseni, 
though it is very feebly concave towards the margin; an antemarginal wavy line. Hindwing still darker brown 
with golden brown fringe. Brazil (Petropolis). 
Th. meldola Schs. (141 e) would almost fit better to Apatelodes, but Schaus places it here. Forewing 
hasally and at the margin grey, the median area bordered by two light transverse lines is dark reddish-brown, 
in it a fine oval light-encircled discal spot; subterminal area lighter reddish brown, between 5 and 6 a small 
light spot; the veins from the antemedian line to the grey marginal area distinctly light. Hindwing almost 
whitish, at the margin somewhat smoky. Castro, Parana. 
3. Genus: Falcatelodes gen.n. 
Closely allied to Apatelodes, but separated by the quite different shape of the wings resembling that 
of the following genus Drepatelodes from which it differs in the stronger, A patelodes- like structure and the different
