fringe; moreover, coloured and marked as aegina, but the apex is rusty yellow as far as the tip. Hind wing more 
rounded without the indenture below the apex, blackish-brown with a whitish apical spot. Described according 
to a $ from Costa Rica (Tuis). 
Z. fieldi Schs. is smaller. Body above dark reddish brown, beneath reddish yellow, abdomen with fieldi. 
oblique brown lateral streaks. Forewing dark brownish-grey, costal margin and basal third below the cell 
dull reddish-brown; dark antemedian, median and postmedian lines marked from below the subcosta; at the 
cross-vein a reddish-yellow streak of scales; a fine dark subterminal line is distally arcuately dentate, an 
antemarginal line reversely so, between 4 and 5 before it a reddish-yellow spot; at the anal angle a light brown 
shadow. Hindwing dark brown, above the cell and 6 reddish-brown, at the costal margin in the middle whitish. 
Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Costa Rica. 
Z. lychnica Dogn. (141 k) is a very small species looking like a small verago. Fore wing lighter and darker lychnica. 
red-brown with a fine' white antemedian line which is inwardly shaded darker brown and outside rusty yellow; 
at the cell-end a dark streak in a whitish oval, above it white dusting at the costal margin, below it a dark 
median shadow; a fine white, postmedian line forms a large bow round the cell; behind the antemarginal 
cucullate line small reddish-yellow marginal spots', the largest of which recedes between 6 and 4 as far as the 
postmedian line. Hindqjirig monotonously light brown. Peru (Upper Madre de Dios). 
Z. poecila sp. n. (141 k) is somewhat similar to lychnica. Forewing brownish-grey, in the basal third poecila. 
and apically rusty yellow, — the thorax is more or less rusty brown, too — with 3 fine black transverse lines, 
the antemedian one inside bordered with lilac white, the white colour separated at the costal margin in the 
shape of a V; veins fine black; at the cell-end a black discal streak in a reddish white oval, behind it follows 
a fine black postmedian line and somewhat farther outside a slightly curved subterminal line on both sides 
bordered with white which colour is expanded at the costal margin into a triangle and bends inwards from 6, 
the ground before it being darkened like a spot; the antemarginal cucullate line is only traceable at the apex. 
Fringe distinctly speckled black and white. Hindwing brownish-grey, at the costal-margin almost purely white, 
enclosing the beginnings of a brownish grey postmedian double line; at the cell-end a rusty yellow spot appearing 
also on the light brown under surface which exhibits 2 dark notched lines and a large costal-marginal spot. 
Type 1 $ from Passa Quatro (Minas), Brazil, in the Coll. W. Hopp-Charlottenburg. 
9. Genus: Compsa Wkr. 
Scarcely separable from Apatelodes and distinguished from Zanola by the straight, hardly convex 
costal margin of the hindwing. Forewing with a sharp apex of the wing and a rounded distal margin showing 
very faint traces of dents which are a little more developed in the hindwing. Neuration same as in Apatelodes. 
Type: C. saturata Wkr. 
C. saturata Wkr. (= trilunula H.-S.) (142 c). Scheme of marking and colouring exactly that of the saturata. 
preceding species: forewing dark red-brown, in the basal third and subterminally more or less lighter, at the 
apex almost rusty yellow; the blackish-brown, undulate-dentate antemedian and postmedian transverse lines 
on the averted sides bordered with a lighter rusty yellow colour; before the margin the usual cucullate line 
which is only clearly prominent in the yellow apex; the exterior half of the median area is crossed by a lead- 
coloured transverse band traces of which appear also behind the antemedian line. Hindwing blackish-brown, 
before the anal angle with an oblique rusty yellow patch. The much larger 9 is more clearly outlined reddish- 
yellow and yellow, and it shows a yellow spot also at the anal angle of the forewing. Brazil. 
C. felderi Drc. (142 d) is of a more slender build, with broader wings, lighter red-brown than saturata feldcri. 
and more uniform, without the contrasting yellow; the transverse lines in the <$ set with silvery white spots, 
the largest at the posterior line below the submedian fold; in the disc a circular black-centred ochreous spot. 
In the $ the postmedian line is more a narrow silvery white line on both sides edged with blackish-brown. 
Hindwing lighter than in saturata. Mexico to Costa Rica. 
10. Genus: Cariioteiia Wkr. 
This genus is founded upon but one small species and is hardly tenable; in my opinion it is rather 
coincident with Colabata\ as to its structure I am unable to give any particulars, since I am only in possession 
of a sketch kindly made by Mr. Tams, according to which the scheme of markings agrees exactly with that of 
Colabata; the margins of the wings, accordingly, are not dentate. The species was hitherto taken to be a 
Geometrid, but according to Tams it belongs here; it was once more described by Walker as Aspilates. 
C. xanthiata Wkr. (= perlineata Wkr.) (141 k) is above golden yellow, on the forewing with 5 red xanthiata. 
transverse lines, both the antemedian ones angular below the costal margin, the exterior one and the postmedian 
line being crenulate, between them a small discal dot; the subterminal and antemarginal lines are dentate and 
united above the anal angle. Hindwing somewhat paler with 2 feeble transverse lines. Amazons, Ega.
