behind which a linear white spot follows. Hindwing reddish-brown with an irregularly dentate olive brown 
margin. A rare species from Brazil (Petropolis). 
A. cymographum R. J. (98 A e) has the same black abdominal bands as carinata from which it differs cymo- 
in much less angular palpi and an undulated distinct white line bordering proximad on the lighter apical portion graphum. 
which extends angled, not rectilinearly proximad. Bolivia (Rio Songo). 
A. chloroptera Perty (= disis Bsd., smerinthoides Bsd.) (98 A e). Hindwing with a lobately projecting chlorop- 
costal-marginal portion, especially in the Abdomen without black bands. Forewing monotonously dirty iera - 
green which very quickly turns loamy ochreous brown or reddish-brown, with indistinct darker transverse lines, 
without the light apical portion. Hindwing somewhat diaphanous greenish ochreous with a broad black 
marginal band. Nicaragua to South Brazil and Argentina. 
A. prominens Wkr. (= carinatum Bsd., chloroptera Burnt., promiscus Burnt., pudens Bsd. , smerinthoides prom-incus. 
Fldr.) (98 A f) is very near to chloroptera, but easily discernible by the shape of the wings, the forewing exhi¬ 
biting a larger rounded lobe on vein 3, which is merely an insignificant dent in chloroptera-, a whitish scaled 
spot subapically at the costal margin, and a similar submarginal one in the centre of the distal margin. The 
marginal band of the hindwing is somewhat dentate, and a deep indenture is before the anal angle. Brazil 
(Amazons; Petropolis). 
A. iphis Wkr. (= scriptor Fldr., volatica Clem.) (98 A f) is a lighter, more variegated species, light reddish iphis. 
ochreous with a narrow dark median band of the forewing, composed of 4 black lines and bordered basad by 
2 white lines. Forewing beneath with a large bright red-brown discal spot extending below the cell towards the 
base. Base of abdomen with a distinct white belt, the following segment browner than the others. Mexico to 
South Brazil. The larva — which, however, may also belong to the next species — is green or brown with red 
subdorsal lines and oblique sti’ipes coherent with them, with red dorsal markings and red pectoral feet. It lives 
on Da villa (Dilleniaceae). 
A. negleetum R. J. (= iphis auct. part.) (98 A f) is extraordinarily similar to iphis and often con- neglectum. 
founded with it. It constantly differs in but 1 white line bordering proximad on the median band which contains 
very much less distinct black lines. The white abdominal segment is very narrow, the next segment not browner 
than the rest. The discal spot on the forewing beneath is almost black and much smaller than in iphis. Mexico 
to Bolivia and South Brazil. 
40. Genus: Enyo Hhn. 
■Very near to the genus Aleuron anatomically, from which it only differs in the spined tibiae. 
Type: E. japix Cr. 
E. japix Cr. (= japyx Wkr.) (98 e) is a smaller species, light olive brownish with a dark brown median japix. 
band which is straightly bordered proximad and deeply indented distally below the costal margin and sub- 
medianly. A large trapezoid dark subanal spot at the distal margin. Hindwing blackish-brown, marked light 
near the anal angle. A narrow white belt at the base of the abdomen. The nomenclatural type is the northern 
form with a broader median band, especially towards the inner margin, projecting distally more rounded in 
the disc. Mexico to the Amazons and Bolivia. discrepans Wkr. (= japix Btlr., succinctus Fldr., japyx discrepans. 
Bdnnmgh.), from South Brazil, shows a narrower median band at the inner margin, projecting with a sharper 
angle in the centre distally, the dark anal spot is larger. Espiritu Santo to Sa. Catharina. Larva green with 
a brown ventral side, or quite brown with brown subdorsal lines and oblique stripes and a very short horn; 
it lives on Da villa rugosa. 
E. pronoe Drc. {= variegata Rothsch.) (98 f) is larger than japix, more variegated, the deep dark pronoe. 
triangular costal-marginal spot is isolated, the median area not much darker olive than the rest of the wing 
and not straightly defined inside, but by somewhat undulate lines; a round black discal dot at the cell-end, 
the anal portion of the distal margin contrasts very dark with the apical portion. Hindwing semi-diaphanous 
with a broad blackish-brown marginal band. Abdomen without the white basal belt. Honduras to Bolivia and 
Para. — fuscatus R. & J. is the southern form from Sa. Catharina; the hindwing only shows a diaphanous stripe pascal us. 
in the cell and one below it, the triangular costal-marginal spot of the forewing is smaller. 
41. Genus: Epistor Bscl. 
Separated from the preceding groups especially by the second palpal joint not projecting angularly 
distad, and the comb-like thoracal tuft. The B exhibits a tripartite anal tuft and is extraordinarily dissimilar 
to the $ both in colouring and marking. The species are divided into two sections according to the presence or 
absence of a subcostal fold filled with small white scent-scales and woolly hair on the forewing.
