ANCISTROTA; CINNOMATA. By Dr. M. Drattdt. 
white, the two lines behind it removed far apart, the area between them of a purer pinkish brown. Brazil 
(Espiritu Santo); a couple from Passa Quatro, Sul de Minas, is much smaller, the $ was figured. 
sciizi. A. seltzl sp. n. (Ill B f) is allied to remissa, but larger; costal and distal margins almost straight, apex 
very pointed, produced; forewing light brownish-grey; antemedian line darker, inside bordered with light, 
straight to the inner margin; discal spot oval encircled with a somewhat darker colour; postmedian line from 
5 mm before the apex to the distal third of the inner margin, very feebly incurved, olive-brown, behind it 
a slight doubling separated by a somewhat lighter interspace and terminating outside directly into the sub- 
terminal band. Hindwing basally with pink hairs, ocellus red, with a tiny white centre and a black ring; 
postmedian line almost straight, slightly bent only at the costal and inner margins, blackish, outside broadly 
scaled yellowish-red, behind it, separated by a narrow space, strewn with grey scales. Beneath the disc of the 
forewing shows a red shade, the postmedian lines are in both wings straight, brown, scaled red. Type: 1 $ from 
Peru in the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfort-on-the-Main. 
musia. A. niusta Schs. 1 know only from the description according to which it must be very closely allied to 
catharina, though much larger. The $ is dark red-brown in the basal third, bordered by the double blackish 
brown antemedian shadow which is filled with yellowish, behind it lilac brown, the postmedian line double, 
filled with reddish-yellow; discal spot ochreous, parted by a blackish central streak; before the posterior line 
with a reddish-brown costal-marginal spot. Hindwing reddish yellowish-grey, darkened at the inner margin, 
ocellus large, red, white-centred, with a broad black ring, and distally produced to the distal margin through 
the blackish-grey postmedian line; subterminal shadow widened analwards, but it remains here far above the 
anal angle; marginal area lilac brown. Expanse of wings: 68 mm. According to a $ from Costa Rica (Juan Vinas), 
2 nygmaea. Ac pygmaea Schs. (Ill Be) is a very small species; forewing red-brown, without the antemedian line, 
the postmedian line fine, yellowish-white, on both sides very feebly and finely bordered by a darker colour, 
the tiny whitish discal spot inside bordered with black. Hindwing pinkish-brown, with hardly any markings 
except the red, black-ringed ocellus with a black centre in a lighter halo. S. Paulo (Brazil). 
unities. A. auletes H.-Schdff. (Ill B f, 130 e) is unmistakable. Forewing rusty yellowish-brown, especially in 
the median area with black white-ringed vein-dots; transverse lines very fine, double, filled with a lighter colour, 
the very large yellowish greyish-white discal spot before the distal border with a fine black interior ring and 
a black central streak with a distally extending transverse streak; between 6 and 7 below the apex a blackish 
spot, behind it dusted whitish. Hindwing in the disc very light lilac grey, base, costal margin and inner margin 
with light cinnamon-reddish hair; ocellus carmine with a white centre and a black ring, behind it 2 grey transverse 
lines, the exterior one duller and broader, particularly analwards. Guiana and Venezuela. 
8. Genus: Ancistrota Hbn. 
Structurally closely allied to the Mmma-group of the subgenus Gaynelia, separated by the slightly 
drooping last palpal joint; on the fore wing the uppermost subcostal branch arises much more remote from the 
upper cell-end; on the hindwing 6 and 7 arise on a stalk, in Gaynelia 7 comes distantly separated from the upper 
cell-edge. Only 2 species: type: A. plagia Hbn. 
■plagia. A. plagia Hbn. (112 a). Above bright yellow, antemedian line of the same shape as in irmina, brownish, 
towards the base bordered with white, the posterior transverse line from the apex to the third quarter of the 
inner margin, likewise inwardly bordered with white; at the cell-end a variably large black ring filled with 
white, often centred black; instead of the subterminal line more or less distinct small purple brownish spots, 
the lowest removed towards the base. Hindwing in the basal third with brownish hair, in the disc a small, 
dull, brownish spot, behind it a rather straight postmedian line, before the margin a few small brownish subterminal 
spots. The larger 9 is red-brown or pinkish-brown, in the median area with a slight lilac shade. Brazil. 
fermginea. ferruginea /. n. (112 a), from Petropolis (type in the Berlin Museum) is also in the male entirely reel-brown above. 
stramen- A, stramentalis sp. n. (112 a) is somewhat larger on an average, the forewing more straw-coloured, the 
tahs ' postmedian line extends from the apex obliquely to the centre of the inner margin, it is not bordered with white, 
but distally feebly shaded with red-brown; at the cell-end only a feebly darker streak. Hindwing as far as the 
subterminal line dusted with red-brown, the subterminal line darker red-brown, notched. Abdomen yellow, 
brownish above excepting the last 2 rings. Peru (Callanga); Bolivia (Songo; Corvico). Type: $ from Peru in 
the Berlin Museum. 
9. Genus: Osmomata Btlr. 
More robustly built than the preceding genus with a long and densely haired thorax. Last palpal joint 
straightly porrect or slightly drooping. Wings, especially of the 9.- more elongate, the costal margin of the
