of the cross-vein, 6 arises very near to the base of the long and narrow areole; neuration of hindwing like that 
of Kalkorna. 
Type of genus: E. arne Gr. 
E. arne Gr. (146 a). Forewing blackish-brown, lighter at the margin, more yellowish, with fine yellowish arne. 
subcostal, median and submedian veins, as well as the branches proceeding from the lower cell-angle and two 
fine acutely angled transverse lines, the anterior one angled near the lower cell-angle, the posterior one on 5. 
Hindwing black with a white apical spot. Abdomen and hind tibiae scarlet, the former above on the first 4 
segments and at the anal end black with a blue reflection. Guiana. 
E. aparta sp. n. (146 a) is somewhat like arne-, forewing greyish-black, somewhat lighter towards the aparta. 
margin, the median vein as well as 3 and 4 greyish-white like the transverse lines, the anterior line only distinct 
below the cell, the two parts distantly separated, the space between them filled with velvety black, a fine 
median line is acutely angled at the cell-end, the posterior line parallel to it, double, filled with black and 
almost reaching the margin on 4, interrupted by the interspace of the veins 3 and 4, which is filled with velvety 
black; the upper half of the marginal area and the fringe are white; three oblong black subapical spots are in 
the white submarginal area, the lowest spot being the smallest, a short black marginal line behind them. Hind¬ 
wing black with a narrow white margin and fringe. Body black, ventrum except the two last rings, hips and 
tibiae light scarlet. 1 3 from West Colombia (Bella Vista), type in the Coll. Niepelt. 
E. carrieta Schs. Head and thorax dark brown, abdomen as well as middle tibiae and hindlegs light red, carrieta. 
only the base and the anal segment blackish-brown. Forewing dark brown, margin broad cinnamon brown; 
the feeble subbasal line is darker, strewn with grey, a small cinnamon spot behind it below the cell; anterior 
transverse line doidjle, grey, filled with white towards the inner margin; a cinnamon-brown spot surrounded 
by white and strewn with white is at the cross-vein; the fine double postmedian line cuts a broad grey oblique 
shadow from the apex; subterminal white strewing between the dark marginal veins. Hindwing brownish-black. 
Expanse of wings: 45 mm. Brazil. 
39. Genus: Didugiia Drc. 
The 3 antennae are not pectinated to the tips, the palpi very long, the second joint just as long as the 
terminal joint, a high hair-tuft on the head. The neuration on the broad forewings and hindwings is not 
different from that of the preceding genus. 
Type of genus: D. argentilinea Drc. 
D. argentilinea Drc. (146 a). Forewing browrn, lighter and more yellowish below the median vein, with argenti- 
clarker longitudinal stripes, broadly dusted with lilac grey at the costal and inner margins, with two very ^ xn 
characteristical yellowish-white, harpoon-shaped spots in the cell and behind it; a brown, pointedly notched 
subterminal undulate line is bordered with a lighter colour on both sides, the margin is yellowish grey, traversed 
by two broad lilac grey undulate lines between which there are two very fine blackish-brown ones. Hindwing 
brownish-grey with light fringe. Mexico. 
D. leona Drc. (146 b) is very similar to argentilinea, but larger and much darker brown, particularly the leona. 
hindwings blackish brown; the distal appendage of the exterior harpoon-spot is shorter than in argentilinea, 
the almost straight, variably light and dark marginal lines are absent, replaced by a fine black lunulate line. 
Mexico, Panama. 
D. modica Dogn. is a very small species with dark brown forewings, an oblique antemedian line below modica. 
the cell and a white guttiform spot with its apex towards the upper cell-angle. Amazons (Obiclos). 
40. Genus: Dasylopliia Pack. 
This genus comprises a large number of partly very similar species of a uniform exterior. 3 antenna 
pectinated as far as two thirds of its length, last joint of palpus short, a tuft of scale-hairs on the vertex. The 
forewing has a mostly distinctly dentate distal margin, vein 5 arises from the centre of the cross-vein, 6 either 
from the upper cell-angle or from the areole close next to it; veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing arise close beside each 
other from the lower cell-angle, 6 is stalked with the subcostal vein. 
Type of genus: D. anguina Abb. & 8m. 
D. anguina Abb. & Sm. (= cucullifera Herr-.Schdff., punctata Wkr., cana Wkr., signata Wkr.) (146 b). anguina. 
Forewing ash-grey, strewn with white basally, scantily strewn with black on the veins, with fine black basal 
rays and 3 fine subapical longitudinal stripes; a feebly curved double postmedian transverse line contains fine 
black dots, two thick black dots are in the subterminal area just below the centre, followed by a blackish-brown
