A. multilinea Schs. (144 i) has dark lilac brown fore wings dusted with grey, with dark red-brown veins muliilinea. 
and internerval stripes; a submarginal row of small somewhat lighter, yellowish spots edged with dark brown 
inside. Hindwing brown with white fringe. Common and widely distributed from Brazil and Colombia. 
A. albolinea Schs. is larger than multilinea, forewing dark brown mixed with olive and lilac, broadly albolinea. 
lighter and dusted with lilac at the costal and inner margins; veins and internerval stripes darker, as in multilinea , 
distinguished by a white line extending from the centre of the cell along vein 6 to half its length, and thickened 
behind; traces of a lighter anterior transverse line, antemarginal and marginal rows of small black spots. 
Hindwing scantily scaled, brownish. Expanse of wings: 47 mm. French Guiana. 
A. excelsa Schs. (144k) is much larger still than multilinea and of a more gaudy ground-colour: two excel-sa. 
thirds of the costal margin, the basal area and the basal half of the inner margin are brownish-grey, striped 
darker, the cell and behind it lilac, striped red-brown, the apical third of the costal margin red-brown, the distal 
half of the inner margin greyish-brown with oblique red-brown streaks; a blackish-brown shadowy stripe along 
the median vein and its upper branch to the distal margin, before which there are forked red-brown streaks 
outside, each of which encloses a white dot. Hindwing brownish-grey, lighter towards the base. Costa Rica. 
A. collaris Schs. has reddish-brown forewings, being whitish and strewn with red-brown at the inner collaris. 
margin and from there up to vein 4, with an indistinct double darker brown antemedian and postmedian 
transverse line filled with a lighter colour, the light marginal part with small brown lunules. Hindwing whitish, 
red-brown at the margin. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Brazil. 
A. modica Schs. Forewing whitish, strewn with brownish ochre, with white veins and very indistinct modica. 
undulate darker transverse lines and two small dark brown spots above the anal angle. Hindwing dull brown. 
Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Guatemala. 
28. Genus: Martliantia Schs. 
Very closely allied with the preceding genus from which it chiefly differs in the somewhat shorter and 
not serrated antennae which are ciliated only to the middle, and in dorsal tufts on the 3 first abdominal segments. 
The areole of the forewing is considerably shorter and narrower than in Antiopha, the other neuration the same; 
the cell of the forewing beneath is clothed with long hair, the costal-margin of the hindwing is covered with 
long erect hair. Only 1 species: 
Type of genus: M stelligera Schs. 
M. stelligera Schs. (144 k). Forewing dark brown in the basal half, reddish-yellow distally, with dark stelligera. 
veins and a brownish apex, with reddish-yellow transverse lines edged with a darker colour, the posterior line 
much less distinct and followed by a row of wdiite vein-dots, the upper half of which is situate in a darker 
brown shadow; a double blackish-brown median shadow' is fused in the cell, then it separates again, the interior 
branch being bent back towards the inner margin as far as the base; rows of white dots at the costal margin 
and before the distal margin. Hindwing brownish-grey. French Guiana. 
29. Genus: ICragisa Wkr. 
This genus comprises mostly large species with thick woolly hair, tuftedly ciliated antennae, thickly 
scaled rising palpi with a very short terminal joint and especially thickly haired front legs. The neuration of the 
broadly rounded wings is the same as that of the two preceding species; base of hindwing beneath very 
densely scaled. 
Type of genus: E. lanifera Wkr. 
E. lanifera Wkr. (145 a) represents the genus very well also in the colour and marking; the white ground lanifera. 
of the forewing is densely dusted with a mealy grey; the double notched black transverse lines exhibit a course 
by which the genus is characterized: the anterior line extending obliquely to the centre of the inner margin, 
the posterior line returning a little distance between the veins 4 and 5; thick black double dots obliquely • 
arranged in the lower half are before the margin between the veins. Hindwing dark brownish-grey with light 
fringe. Brazil, Colombia. 
E. juvenis Schs. has greyish-white forewings, scantily strewn with dark, with fine dark transverse lines, juvenis. 
the anterior line being dentate with an ochreous dot subcostally, the posterior line introangular on vein 2, with 
bright yellow spots distally; a small white strigiform spot at the cell-end, a dark spot behind it before the 
postmedian line. Hindwing brown with white fringe. Expanse of wings: 48 mm. Costa Rica. 
E. sabulosa Schs. (= garleppi Drc.). Forewing greyish-green with double undulate-dentate transverse sabulosa. 
lines, with black and white vein-dots behind the distal line; a large olive green spot is before the white-edged
