sagittal spots are connected by blackish dusting and form a continuous line with the distal black shading of the 
postmedian line not reaching, however, the inner margin. Hindwing whitish with fine brown veins and marginal 
line. Mexico. 
D. mocosa Dogn. (146 c). Forewing dark yellowish-brown with darker brown veins, traversed by a mocosa. 
brown longitudinal shadow from the base of the inner margin to the apex; no other marking than a submarginal 
row of small brown internerval wedges. Hindwing light brownish-yellow. Expanse of wings: 52 mm. Ecuador. 
D. riparia Drc. has light grey forewings, longitudinally striped brown as far as the cell-end, behind which riparia. 
it is blackish-brown as far as the apex and distal margin, with a fine notched light grey submarginal line. 
Hindwing white, veins and inner margin light brown. Peru. 
D. grenadensis Schs. Forewing reddish yellowish-brown, the veins strewn with black in the distal half, 
with long dark internerval streaks in the upper half of the marginal area; a dark longitudinal stripe in the cell 
and a spot behind it, followed by a red-brown transverse shadow not reaching the inner margin; dark marginal 
dots are most distinct at the apex. Hindwing smoky grey, whitish towards the base, with black veins. Expanse 
of wings: 44 mm. Grenada (West Indies). 
D. inca Schs. has dark brown forewings brightened in the centre of the costal margin and at the anal inca. 
angle, crossed by indistinct transverse lines in the median area; small velvety brown, inwardly reddish-yellow 
wedges are before the distal margin. Hindwing whitish, broadly smoked on the veins and margin, with traces 
of a transverse row of vein-dots. Peru. 
D. obscura Dogn. is allied to inca, forewing monotonously brown, strewn with yellowish, two black dots obscura. 
above each other in the cell-end, and the usual light postmedian line behind them, followed by two black subanal 
spots in lighter yellowish surroundings, a series of black internerval wedges above them, bordered with yellowish 
in the upper half. Hindwing white, smoky at the margin. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. Argentina. 
D. jaliscana Schs. (146 c) has somewhat shorter and broader wings, greyish-white strewn with blackish, jaliscana. 
with fine black veins and double transverse lines of the same characteristical course as in the preceding species, 
the anterior line especially distinct and extending almost vertically from the costal margin to the submedian fold, 
where it makes a very sharp curve towards the base, the costal margin before it and behind the postmedian 
line more intensely darkened in a triangular shape; only a very thick black spot is between the median veins. 
A black streak on the cross-vein. Hindwing yellowish-white, broadly darkened at the margin. The $ is beauti¬ 
fully tinged with chestnut-brown before and behind the median area. Mexico. 
viaia. 
D. abbreviata Schs. has somewhat shorter and broader forewings than jaliscana. Forewing reddish abbrc- 
yellowish-brown, densely shaded with brown and olive green, especially at the inner margin, with two distinct 
transverse lines filled with white, and a black cellular spot between them; the usual two black subanal spots. 
Hindwing yellowish-white, the <$ brown with a lighter median band. Expanse of wings: 32—40 mm. Brazil. 
D. seriata Drc. (= melanopa Barnes, indecoris Schs.) (146 c) has greyish-brown forewings with black seriata. 
veins and double brown internerval stripes, rather indistinct lighter transverse lines which are nearer together, 
a black basal ray and a very thick black spot between the lower median veins, the one above it being very small: 
high red-brown submarginal angular streaks are filled with grey. The larger $ shows a somewhat steel-grey 
reflection at the inner margin and it lacks the black basal ray, but it has a large oval reddish-yellow basal area 
instead of it. Hindwing blackish-brown. Mexico to Panama. 
D. russula Dogn. Forewing reddish yellowish-white which colour is brighter in the anterior half with russula. 
numerous blackish-brown longitudinal streaks and similar lighter transverse lines as in seriata ; a white subanal 
spot is parted by black and above it there is a series of dark internerval streaks which are thickened towards 
the apex and distally followed by white streaks. Hindwing diaphanous whitish. Expanse of wings: 45 mm. 
Guiana. 
D. blaizea Schs. is separated from the two following species by the white hindwings. Head and collar blaizca. 
wood-brown, thorax almost white, abdomen light brown, the two terminal segments more whitish. Forewing 
light reddish brown, strewn with brown in the costal-marginal third, a row of black dots below the costal margin 
in the centre; median line brown, double as far as the lower cell-angle, a reddish-brown shadow before it at the 
costal margin, the said line bends below the cell inwards to a black spot above the submedian fold, which spot 
is at the end of a fine black line; inner margin, except at the base, strewn with black; the postmedian line extends 
to the black spot, then to the centre of the inner margin, a fine double line is behind it : a dark spot below 2; 
a light brown shadow behind it between the costal margin and 5, with black veins and white, black-edged 
internerval streaks; a blackish-brown marginal spot between 2 and 4. Hindwing white with light brown marginal 
veins. Expanse of wings: 58 mm. Guatemala. 
D. xylinata Wkr. (= pythia Drc.) (146 c, d) is one of the most common species; forewing reddish xylinata. 
yellowish-brown, dark brown in the basal third of the costal margin and a large subapical triangular spot, 
broadly blackish-brown at the inner margin; the anterior transverse line is double and very oblique, only marked
