DREPATELODES; OLCECLO STERA. By Dr. M. Dratjdt. 
neuration. Apex of forewing obtusely falciform. Distal margin very oblique with traces of a slight projection 
on 5. Hindwing with a long inner margin and a somewhat roundly produced anal angle. On both wings the 
lower cell-end is produced like a lobe, especially long on the hindwing, and it only despatches vein 4, whilst 3 
rises far from it in both wings. 6 and 7 stalked in both wings. Only 1 species: 
F. anava Drc. (= laffonti Dogn.) (141 d). Forewing fawn with a slight pinkish tint, dusted darker aruiva. 
brown; a light almost straight antemedian and submarginal transverse band; in the median area 2 almost 
parallel somewhat faded brown transverse lines, behind them a fine, distally light-edged, towards the margin 
concave subterminal line with fine black vein-dots which, beginning from 5, are enlarged into small black dents; 
between 5 and 6 a submarginal triangular white hyaline spot; marginal area more darkened. Hindwing pale 
fawn with 2 oblique brown parallel transverse lines, inner margin darker haired; fringe especially in the lower 
marginal half very dark. Ecuador; Peru; Bolivia. 
4. Genus: Drepatelodes gen. n. 
Closely allied to Apatelodes, but the structure is weaker, the body smaller and more slender. Forewing 
at the costal margin bent towards the apex and terminating in a falcate point, the margin sometimes with 
faint traces of denticulation. On the forewing 6 is very shortly stalked with 7 + 8 and 3 + 4 (the latter not 
always), on the hindwing 3 + 4 and 6 + 7 rise on long stalks, 3 + 4 rising with 2 almost from the same place. 
Type: D. tanais Drc. 
D. tanais Drc. (441 e), originally described from 1 $ the type of which from the Berlin Museum could tanais. 
be examined, is brown with 3 almost straight oblique stripes, the two inner ones towards the base, the outer 
one towards the margin feebly bordered with a lighter shade; behind them follows a strongly undulate-dentate 
subterminal line rising directly before the apex, its dents on 2 and 3 almost touching the margin and between 
them receding in a bow. Hindwing with similar lines, subterminal line very irregular. Panama, C'hiriqui. 
D. friburgensis Schs. (141 e) is similar to tanais, with much more distinct blackish transverse lines, all 4 friburgen- 
of them basally light-edged, not so straight, especially the 3rd somewhat concave towards the margin, the S}S - 
subterminal line hardly visibly notched, obliterated analwards. Hindwing towards the margin darker, the 3 
lines rather indistinct. Novo Friburgo. 
D. ostenta Schs. Forewing yellowish-reddish with a slight lilac shade, scantily strewn dark brown, with ostcnta. 
3 fine dark brown oblique lines, the first antemedian one angular on the median vein, the second from close 
behind the centre of the costal margin to the centre of the inner margin, the third from %; at the margin a 
number of light oblique streaks outside bordered with blackish-brown from the end of vein 7, incurved to 4 
and then straight to 2; at the cell-encl a blackish spot. Hindwing in the basal third light brown, behind it darker 
brown with a lighter brown postmedian band. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. French Guiana. 
D. umbrilinea Schs. (141 e) looks like friburgensis, lilac brownish, in the marginal area the forewing is umbrilinca. 
of a purer grey, with fine white veins; transverse lines quite similar as in friburgensis, the median line more 
excurved below the costal margin, outside shaded darker brown, the third straight, the subterminal line more 
distinctly dentate, not so far incurved, i. e. nearer to the margin. Hindwing more greyish-brown. French Guiana. 
D. trilineata Dogn. is very near to umbrilinea and to tanais, the ground-colouring without the lilac tint, irilineaia. 
yellowish reddish-brown, and the median line is quite straight, not bent below the costal margin. It may be 
only a form of umbrilinea, since it originates from the same habitat in French Guiana. Both have an almost 
entirely white under surface. 
D. quadrilineata Schs. (141 e) is larger than the preceding ones, light yellowish-brown, with 4 almost quadrili- 
parallel oblique lines, all of them inwardly bordered with a somewhat light colour, only the outermost slightly 
concave towards the margin. Hindwing still lighter, with a feeble median line, and between 3 and 6 with small 
dark submarginal spots. From the Rio Madeira (Brazil). 
5. Genus: ©Iceclostera Btlr. 
It shows exactly the same structure as Apatelodes, but the margin of the forewing is slightly dentate 
below 5, though often hardly noticeable. Hindwing not so round, but mostly somewhat prolonged at the anal 
angle, or if that be not the case, the margin is very little dentate. The genus contains quite a number of ex¬ 
tremely similar and hardly separable, mostly insignificant grey species, also a North-American representative. 
Type: O. irrorata Btlr.
