preceding species; the subterminal inner-marginal spot is large, the subapical black vein-streaks and the 
undulate line as in eunoteloides, the lower half of the undulate line broken up into single spots. Hindwing 
whitish, costal margin and veins brownish. Bolivia. 
N. sabrena Schs. Forewing reddish-yellow, densely strewn dark brown forming a broad costal-marginal 
shadow before the centre and a subterminal spot; a dark dot at the cell-end, traces of interrupted double 
transverse lines before and behind the centre, large dark internerval spots at the margin. Hindwing dark grey, 
lighter towards the base. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. French Guiana. 
N. talmecana Schs. is an entirely different species similar to the species of the genus Talmeca. Head 
and thorax reddish-yellow with an olive brown longitudinal line; abdomen brownish-red, ventrum white. 
Forewing light reddish-yellow, median vein white, finely striped brown above, yellow beneath; grey stripes 
strewn with black in and below the cell; feeble darker antemedian and postmedian transverse lines and a dentate 
distal line, the latter distally bordered with white; subterminally with dark dots and brownish-black vein- 
streaks; a dark blotch along vein 5 to the margin. Hindwing brownish grey. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. 
Brazil (Rio Purus). 
73. Genus: Dogniiia Schs. 
Antennae pectinated only in the basal halves, the hairy palpi very short. Anal angle of forewing 
typically somewhat convex; vein 5 arises above the centre of the cross-vein, 6 behind the centre of the very 
long and narrow areole. Costal margin of hindwing very obtusely rounded, neuration as in the preceding 
genera. 
Type of genus: D. veltini Dogn. 
D. veltini Dogn. (149 1). Forewing lustrous light greyish-brown with two mostly light transverse lines 
which are very near together at the inner margin and proceed from large dark brown costal-marginal spots; 
a whitish lunule at the cross-vein, a more or less distinct shadowy median line behind it; the inner-marginal 
beginnings of the transverse lines are bordered with dark brown on both sides, the fringe is speckled white in the 
lower half. The species is variable, the forewing often shows a white-dusted spot above the anal angle. Hindwing 
greyish-brown with whitish fringe finely speckled brown at the ends of the veins. Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador. 
D. carastia Drc. Forewing dark brown, grey at the inner margin and anal angle, with a broad black, 
grey-strewn transverse band near the base. Hindwing dark brown with lighter fringe. Peru. 
D. botis Drc. is described to be greenish-black, with a large white basal spot, a very large red-brown 
spot bordered with white, and a red-brown apical spot bordered with white inside, the distal margin reddish- 
bro\yn. Hindwing dirty white, darker at the costal margin. Peru. The species is probably synonymous with 
achates. 
D. achates Dogn. (149 1). The description almost coincides with that of botis ; the white interior border 
of the large spot of the median area is continued as a round line at the costal margin into the interior border 
of the triangular subapical spot; a whitish subterminal shadow is in the reddish-brown distal area, and the fine 
continuation of the white line subterminally parallel to the margin. Peru, Brazil. 
D. bella Jones (149 1) is almost the same as achates, forewing white, dusted light reddish-brown, with 
an olive green, centrally strangulated band, distally defined by a white line which is curved around an olive 
green triangular spot near the apex at the costal margin; subterminal violettish-grey dusting without the white 
line of achates. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Parana. 
D. peruda Drc. (149 1) is likewise near to the preceding species. Fore wing white with an olive green 
antemedian band which is bordered with black and narrower in the middle; a black spot at the cell-end and an 
olive green spot behind it at the costal margin. Hindwing white, yellowish brown at the inner margin. 
Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia. 
74. Genus: Hemipecteros Schs. 
$ antennae bipectinate with ciliary tufts on the outside, palpi short, covered with scales; fore wing with 
a rounded distal margin, vein 5 arises from the centre of the cross-vein, 6 from the centre of the areole; hindwing 
triangular with a rounded costal margin and with the usual neuration, veins 6 and 7 only on a short stalk, the 
costal vein proceeds from the centre of the cell. 
Type of genus: H. arthemis Schs. 
H. arthemis Schs. Forewing white, strewn somewhat grey basally and in the median area, with a grey 
antemedian area as far as the double anterior transverse line; the posterior line is likewise double, reddish-
