CHLAENO GRAMMA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
more deeply incurved; the two discal streaks are distinct, submarginal line qiiite indistinct, the space between 
the 2nd and 3rd lines almost pure white; basal and discal areas tinted yellow in the type. From the base of 
the hindwing to the anal angle a broad whitish-grey area extends, crossed by 3 black transverse lines and 2 
black streaks. Genitals similar to those of florestan, but the 10th sternit shorter and broader, the harpe less 
dentate and clouble-knobbed dorsally. Length of forewing: 58—60 mm. Para in May and June, according to 
2 <?<?. 
P. fosferi R. & J. is very similar to lichenea, but the forewings are narrower than in lichenea and fosteri. 
florestan; the spaces between the black lines are purer white, the black longitudinal streaks longer in the disc; 
the subterminal line is expanded into a large triangular spot at the costal margin, and the space between this 
spot and the oblique apical line is whitish tan-coloured. Hindwing more oblong, white from the base to the 
1st band except a large brownish-black spot between the cell and inner margin, the space between the 3 black 
bands at the costal margin distinctly white, then gradually more dusted brown. Genital organs different. From 
Sapucay (Paraguay), 1 E taken in January. 
P. lanuginosa Ediv. (= collaris Echo., corallina Drc.) (92 e) is likewise very similar, but much more lanuginosa. 
monotonous and greyer, scarcely mixed with white, it especially also lacks the white apical spot above the 
black oblique streak. Neither separable from the tw r o preceding species in structure. Mexico to Honduras. A 
slightly darker form is — hoffmanni Clark (93 a) from Misantla. hoffmanni. 
P» crocala Drc. (93 a) is marked like the preceding species, but of a warmer brown tint and easily crocala. 
discernible by the hindwing being grey in the basal third, strictly contrasting with the brown distal portion. 
Apparently very rare, from Guatemala and Honduras. — tepid Clark , from Tepic (Mexico), is of a greenish tint, tepid. 
not brown, the broad postmedian transverse band darkened; the grey basal portion of the hindwing is narrower. 
P. frandscae Clark (93 b) resembles florestan , but it is much lighter whitish-grey, without the greenish- frandscae. 
yellow tint, marked lighter and darker blackish-brown, hindwing lighter brown, more extensively white at 
the anal angle. Smaller on an average than florestan and with narrower wings. Venezuela. 
P. barnesi Clark (93 b, c) is likewise most closely allied to florestan, with still narrower wings than in barnesi. 
frandscae; ground-colour likewise whitish-grey, more bluish ash-grey, especially in the E often with a somewhat 
greenish tint before the postdiscal bands; the black streaks on veins 2 and 3 are entirely absent. Hindwing 
still lighter brown than in florestan. Described from Guatemala, also from West Mexico (Colima). 
P. co ruin ben sis Clark also belongs yet to this group. The whitish ground of the forewing is densely corum- 
strewn with brown, marked like the allies, the two bands enclosing the median area with the white stigma bensis. 
as well as a subterminal line are very prominently dark; veins 2 and 3 with thick black stripes. Hindwing 
dirty white at the base, with a blackish-brown basal spot and median band, the two distal thirds grey with 
a broad brown subterminal band. Matto Grosso. 
5. Genus: Clilaeiiogramma Sm. 
Very near to Protoparce, separated by smaller eyes and the absence of the thorny bristles on the 
middle tarsi. Especially Chi. jasminearum is closely allied to P. florestan from which it can be hardly distinguished, 
and a remarkable fact is that the genital organs of these two species are identical. 
Type: jasminearum Guer. 
Chi. jasminearum Guer. (= rotundata Rothsch.) (93 c) is externally very similar to P. florestan, the jasminea- 
anal angle of the fore wing projects somewhat less; the upper one of the two black submedian streaks extends rum. 
to the postmedian line or almost to the margin, the lower one being indistinct. Georgia to New England, to 
the west as far as Pennsylvania and Canada. Larva light yellowish-green with 7 narrow white lateral oblique 
stripes, the last bordered with red and green anteriorly; on ash-trees. 
Chi. undata R. & J. has longer spined anterior tarsi than the preceding species; fore wing yellowish undata. 
grey or grey dusted with brown with more distinct dentated transverse lines, the nomenclatural type with a 
loamy tint, very distinct transverse lines, with large brown spots on the abdomen beneath. The patria of the 
type: “Costa Rica” may be doubtful. — cinerea R. & J. is of a purer whitish-grey, the black markings less cinerea. 
distinct, the marginal band of the hindwing broader, the spots of the ventral side smaller. Argentina. 
Chi. obscura Clark (93 c, d) is smaller, darker and with narrower wings, more brown with white irro- obscura. 
ration, the markings very similar to those of undata, the antemedian line stronger, the marginal area more 
darkened analwards. Argentina. 
Chi. muscosa Jones. Body olive grey, tegulae bordered with white, on each side of the abdomen muscosa. 
a series of triangular black lateral spots, ventral side yellowish-white. Fore wing yellowish-white, strewn with
