examined the type, vein 2 of forewing rises behind the middle of the cell, 3 and 4 on a distinct stalk, 5 comes 
from the centre of the cross-vein, 6—10 are stalked, and 11 rises near the cell-end. On the hindwing 3 and 4 
on a short stalk, 6 and 7 on a longer one. Only 1 species. 
Th. trespuntada Dogn. (= bifasciata Drc.) (141 i). Forewing chestnut-brown, in the discal area darker, trespuntada. 
with 2 whitish antemedian and postmedian transverse lines, the latter feebly S-shaped; at the cell-end there 
are 3 silvery dots in a triangle; veins of marginal area distinctly light, at the costal margin before the apex a 
light-edged triangular spot. Hinclwing hardly lighter red-brown, at the anal angle lighter yellowish-grey, above 
bordered by blackish. Peru; Ecuador. 
7. Genus: Colabata Wkr. 
Forewing shaped as in Apatelodes, but the margins of the wings are dentate; neuration also similar; in 
the $ forewing 9 - r 10 stalked with 8, whilst the <$ often lacks vein 10. Shape of hindwing generally rounded. 
Type: G. lineosa Wkr. 
C. marginalis Wkr. (= lineosa Wkr.) (142 a). Ground-colour of forewing light yellow, but dusted with marginalia. 
bronze brown excepting the base and marginal area, at the costal margin and in the central area strewn with 
lilac whitish, with a dark, light-edged discal spot; with 2 fine brownish-grey antemedian and 2 postmedian 
lines, the first being strongly notched, the second almost rectangularly bent below the costal margin, the third 
the same on 5, the fourth undulate-dentate; in the yellow marginal area another regularly deeply dentate 
cucullate line. Hindwing in the disc hued with light brownish, with 2 median lines, the interior one strongly 
curved. The much larger $ is lighter yellow, less brown, and not at all dusted with lilac white. Brazil. 
C. mendozata Dogn. (142 a) is very similar to marginalis, on an average somewhat smaller; ground- mendozata. 
colour the same, the median area and particularly the costal margin lilac white; the two postmedian lines are 
more separated, especially at the costal margin; the marginal area is hardly lighter yellow than the brass-brown 
subterminal area, therefore the marginal dentate line is much less distinct than in : marginalis ; the discal spot 
of marginalis is absent. Hind wing very similar to that of the latter species. Argentina and Paraguay. 
C. thea Schs. (142 a) is likewise very closely allied to the preceding species, but easily separated by the thea. 
much sharper angle on vein 5 of the forewing with a distinct concavity above it and a more distinctly notched 
distal margin; colouring almost the same, but instead of the brass or bronze brown strewing much less strewn 
with brownish grey. Median area only whitish at the costal margin; at the cell-end a white transverse streak 
enclosing a small dark dot; the transverse lines, especially the second and third, are straighter, the third forms 
a sharp right angle on 5. On the less reddish-hued, more grey-dusted hindwing the transverse lines are more 
distinct. Argentina. 
C. basifulva Kaye (142 a) resembles the 2$ of the preceding species, but by the shape of the wings it basifulva. 
forms the transition to the two following species. Forewing light ochreous, especially basad and subterminally 
strewn with red-brown, with the usual transverse lines; at the cell-end a dark streak. On the yellow hindwing 
a dark discal line is united at the lower cell-end with the postmedian line. Trinidad; surely only a form of 
marginalis. 
C. ephora Cr. (= uzita Drc.). Forewing yellowish ochreous, basally and subterminally but little strewn ephora. 
dark, the antemedian band straighter than in the preceding species, on the whole distallv concave, only on the 
median somewhat distally angular; postmedian band much less curved and the notched line behind it towards 
the costa less distinct, subapically a nebulous band behind it; submarginal notched line as in the other species. 
Hindwing with 2 coppery red-brown nebulous bands. Guiana. 
C.lybia Drc. (142 a) is very much like basif ulva, less strewn, excepting the costal marginal portion, lybia. 
the transverse lines almost exactly as in marginalis, between them a dark spot in a yellow halo at the cell-end. 
Hindwing light yellow with 2 reddish-brown nebulous bands, the exterior one near the margin, the interior 
one thinner, almost rectangularly rounded on 6. Panama to Brazil. Southernmore specimens are mostly more 
strewn and form the transition to — nubilosa Dogn. (142 b) which I do not consider to be a separate species, nubilosa . 
just like the last 3 species, anyhow. In nubilosa the ground-colour is more bony white, more densely strewn 
with red-brown, the darkest subterminally at the costal margin where it represents a square dark costal-marginal 
spot. French Guiana. — Still much darker, at the same time also larger and with broader wings is — hoppi /. n. hoppi. 
(142 b), from Chachatoy (Colombia); here almost the whole wing is strewn with purple brown, intermixed with 
lilac white scales, the ground-colour showing through deeper ochi'eous, the purest near the small discal dot and in 
the lower half of the marginal area. Hindwing more extensively suffused with red-brown, before the subterminal 
broad nebulous band separated by a narrow light interspace with a fine line. Tvjjes ^9 in the Coll. Hopp-
