P. divisa Bothsch. (149h) is a very different small insect which probably belongs to another genus; divisa. 
fore wing chestnut brown with numerous very indistinct blackish, partly confluent transverse lines composed 
of single lunules, a small black cell-end spot and a yellowish streak behind it. Hindwing brownish-black. 
Amazons, Peru and Bolivia. 
P. sericeus Bothsch. (149 h) reminds us of the common D. laeca, forewing light reddish-yellow strewn sericeus. 
with grey, dark reddish chocolate and strewn with reddish-yellow in the costal-marginal part, somewhat lighter 
in the centre of the costal margin, with a large light reniform macula; the dark transverse lines are indistinct, 
double, dentate. Hindwing red-brown. Peru. 
70. Genus: Urgedra Dyar. 
The S antennae are pectinated very long, palpi porrect with a short terminal joint. Shape of wings 
broad triangular with an entire margin and a similar neuration as in the preceding genus, vein 5 from the centre 
of the cross-vein, 6 from the basal third of the very long and narrow areole from the end of which the lowest 
subcostal branch proceeds, the next 3 on a joint stalk; hindwing as in Psilacron, the costal vein arises before 
the centre of the cell. A number of irregularly coloured and marked species which are often green. 
Type of genus: U. striata Drc. 
U. striata Drc. (= pavimenta Dogn.) (149 h). Fore wing brown intermixed with white and yellowish- striata. 
green scales, the basal third and a broad postmedian band darker brown, the median area between them 
somewhat more reddish, the cell-end streak brown, surrounded by yellowish-green; the brown postmedian 
band is edged by a white line on both sides, the interior line of which is strongly dentate, the veins crossing 
it are set with raised scales, so that the interspaces look like small locules; brown marginal lunules are surrounded 
with greenish-yellow, fringe speckled white. Hindwing red-brown, lighter towards the base, fringe speckled. 
Colombia (Socorro, Cali). — f. quindinata Dogn. differs from striata in the absence of the white and yellowish- quindinata. 
green scales, the interior one of the two white lines is scarcely dentate. Expanse of wings: 41—42 mm. From 
the Quindiu Pass. 
U. albodiscata Dogn. (149 i) has the same ground-colour as striata, some veins are finely strewn with albo- 
white, a small spot in the centre of the cell and the cross-vein streak are white; the white border-lines of the discata. 
brown postmedian band are absent, but there are 2 black dots edged with greenish-white before it on the sub- 
median fold. Hindwing red-brown, fringe white at the ends of the veins. Expanse of wings: 37—39 mm. 
Quindiu Pass. 
U. chaon Drc. The light brown forewing is strewn with black and green scales. Two tiny white spots cliaon. 
are at the cell-end; a submarginal row of white dots. Hindwing reddish-brown, lighter basal. Colombia, Peru. 
U. brunnea Drc. Forewing dark red-brown, strewn with light greyish-brown, with a white cell-end brunnea. 
streak and a submarginal row of large dark brown internerval spots. Hindwing blackish-brown, fringe somewhat 
lighter. Peru. 
U. oslaca Schs. (149 k) is a deviating large species. Head and thorax brown, abdomen blackish-brown, oslaca. 
Forewing dark brown, yellow scales at the costal margin, and 4 oblique streaks towards the apex; antemedian 
line blackish-brown, angled distally, where it is scaled white and yellow; a white and yellow streak at the cross¬ 
vein; the white subterminal line is strewn with yellow on the veins; the brown marginal line is scaled bluish- 
white inwards, interrupted on the yellowish veins of the marginal area. Hindwing brownish red. Bolivia 
(Incachaca.) 
U. fremida Dogn. (149 i) has somewhat longer wings which are greyish brown, densely strewn with fremida. 
yellowish, subcostally white scales, single veins are very finely striped white, with a black cell-end streak at 
both ends of which there are white dots; transverse lines double, the anterior one broken up into dots, the 
darker postmedian band is more densely strewn with light scales at its edges, with white dots outside at the 
dents; fringe grey traversed by white. Hindwing brown. Expanse of wings: 40—45 mm. Colombia (San 
Antonio, Cali). 
U. dissolvens Dogn. (149 i). Forewing dark red-brown, white and green subcostally, strewn with green dissolvens. 
postmedianly and around the subterminal spots; the inner-marginal vein, the centre of the median vein and 
the veins 6 and 7 are striped lilac white, the median area is edged by two darker brown bands, the postmedian 
one traversed by white veins, bordered at the edges with black dots, the interior dot above the inner-marginal 
vein thicker than the others; the median area is traversed by several fine darker transverse lines; brown sub¬ 
marginal internerval lunules are surrounded by green. Hindwing brown. Expanse of wings: 36—38 mm.
