the apex begins below the cell-end; the veins of the lower half of the margin are white strewn with black; a fine 
black oblique line above the anal angle, a black spot behind that line. Hindwing white with brown veins and 
marginal band. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Mexico (Sinaloa). 
D. abnormis Schs. Fore wing brown with a red-brown shadowy stripe extending from the base to the abnormls. 
costal margin and from there to the lower cell-end, the area below it being strewn with dark red as far as a 
curved median line; a round black spot in the lower cell-end, a dot before that spot; a lilac shadow, indistinctly 
bordered with black above, extends from the cell-end to the anal-angular region; a dentate black postmedian 
line is only traceable in the lower half of the wing, with small brown marginal spots behind it. Hindwing dark 
brown with a red-brown anal spot which is parted by white. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. British Guiana. 
D. improvisa Dogn. resembles abnormis by the brown forewing exhibiting a similar red-brown shadowy impro- 
stripe which extends curved from the costal margin and traverses the cell, bending upwards at the cross-vein, ms 
enclosing a thick white dot before the centre of the cell; the shadowy stripe is continued towards the margin, 
where it widens towards the apex. Hindwing brown with a blackened margin and white fringe. Expanse of 
wings: 30 mm. Amazons (Para). 
D. osmophora sp. n. (146 e) differs from the other species of the genus in an area of large broad flat osmo- 
reddish-brown scent-scales situate in the median band below and above the sub median fold; fore wing light olive l>,u>r 
brownish with fine darker olive brown notched transverse lines which are bordered with a lighter colour on the 
averted sides and are very near together on the inner-marginal vein, extending closely together and sharply 
bent inwards almost to the base of the inner margin; a black dot in the lower cell-angle, another brown dentate 
line behind it vanishes in an olive brown area which forms the upper border of the scent-scale spot. Subterminal 
aiea light in the upper half, narrowly olive brown below the centre, reddish-brown anally with a thick black 
spot between the median veins, a small one below it and a streak in a brown area above it. Hindwing yellowish- 
grey, costal margin and distal margin darkened brownish olive, with an indistinct median shadow and light 
fringe. Described according to a from an unknown habitat, type in the Senckenberg Museum. 
41. Genus: Farigia Schs. 
A very characteristical genus of strong, medium-sized animals with rather broad rounded forewings 
which are uncommonly coarsely scaled especially in white and light green. The $ antennae are pectinated in the 
two basal thirds, the palpi are rather short, densely haired, the vertex tuftless. The neuration is almost the same 
as in Dasylophia, but only two subcostal branches arise from the end of the very long and narrow areole, the 
second from above arises before the end of the areole. The costal vein of the hindwing branches off close at 
the cell-end. 
Type of genus: F. sagana Drc. 
F. sagana Drc. (146 e). Forewing whitish-grey from the base to the centre of the costal margin, the other sagana. 
part light yellowish red-brown, strewn with light bluish-green at the inner margin and in a large spot behind 
the cell; the markings in most of these similar and rather variable species are very inconspicuous in the irre¬ 
gularly strewn ground and consist of fine black, strongly interrupted, double transverse lines, a whitish discal 
streak and the usually most distinctly marked fine black lunulate line at the margin. Hindwing reddish-brown. 
Mexico to Brazil. 
F. foliata Schs. (146 e) has extensively green forewings with a white, brown-strewn basal third of the foliata. 
costal margin as far as below the cell, bordered by a double antemedian line and a dentate basal line which 
defines the small green basal area; markings as in sagana with small darker shadowy spots in the subterminal 
area at the costal margin, below the centre and at the inner margin. Hindwing light brown. Costa Rica 
to Bolivia. 
F. tulana Schs. is likewise similar to the preceding species, but the base is brown, followed by a large iulana. 
white costal-marginal spot as far as a little below the cell, bordered by a curved brown line which is darkest 
below the cell; only the inner margin is green, strewn with brown, the colour above it is greyish-brown with a 
dark spot at and behind the cell-end, which is strewn with green; the dark brown post median line is almost 
straight, darkest at the inner margin. Hindwing light brown, darker at the margin. The $ has a whitish-grey 
distal margin. Expanse of wings: 32—44 mm. Costa Rica. 
F.nana Drc. is allied with tulana, smaller, with more light brown fore wings, extensively strewn with nana. 
green and grey, grey at the base of the costal margin, with a more prominent greenish-brown undulated band 
in the subterminal area. Hindwing light brown, yellowish towards the base. South-Eastern Peru. 
F. medan Drc. (146 e) is still smaller, forewing brown, densely strewn with green in the median area, medan. 
broadly grey in the basal area, the markings of the preceding species very indistinctly indicated. Hindwing 
darker brown. Colombia. 
F. fragilis Schs. Body moss-green, mixed with lilao grey; forewing moss-green at the costal margin and fragilis. 
below the cell, lilac in the cell and at the inner margin, broadly white at the distal margin; the dark olive 
green posterior transverse line is curved around the cell-end, an interrupted green shadow is behind it before
