whitish-grey; a white streak at the cell-end, a black dot outside above it, then follows a dentate black post¬ 
median line with vein-streaks and small brown spots behind them; the black undulate line is situate towards 
the costal margin in a brown oblique shadow. Hindwing greyish-brown, whitish basally. British Guiana. 
M. broma Sells. (= dentifera Dogn.). The forewing of this small species is greyish-brown at the 
base and costal margin, whitish in the median area, strewn with brown in the cell, grey and lilac at the inner 
margin, dark brown behind it in the upper half, lilac grey below it; a yellow antemedian and postmedian spot 
below the cell, a white streak at the cell-end; posterior transverse line double, the dentate submarginal line 
black, only visible in the upper half. Hindwing lilac brown, darker towards the margin. Expanse of wings: 
32 mm. French Guiana. 
M. spurca Schs. has dingy white forewings scantily strewn with brown, with a large blackish-brown 
triangular spot from the first third of the costal margin to the apex, extending downward almost to the centre 
of the inner margin; black vein-dots instead of the posterior transverse line; internerval dots before the margin 
alternate with black fringe-dots. Hindwing whitish, strewn with brown, with a dark, distallv whitish median 
line. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Dutch Guiana (Paramaribo). 
M. paramaribena Schs. Forewing black in the basal half, reddish yellowish-brown behind it, with 
two light brownish bands in the basal part before the middle, with a large and a small black postmedian spot 
at the costal margin, another spot above the upper median nervule, fringe speckled black. Hindwing dingy 
white, light brown at the costal and inner margins. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Dutch Guiana (Paramaribo). 
M. ecpantherioides Schs. (= splendens Drc. 1911 nec 1887, muscipilosa Dogn.) (151 e) and the following 
species are distinguished bv yellow hindwings bordered with blackish-brown; forewing brownish-grey suffused 
with pink, darkened in the basal third, with 4 strong black transverse lines, an irregular dentate double post- 
median line and a series of irregular blackish-brown subterminal spots. Hindwing reddish ochre in the basal 
part and at the inner margin. Brazil. 
M. amanthis Schs. is allied to evpantherioides ; forewing grey in the basal half with 3 double transverse 
lines, yellowish in the distal half, grey only at the distal margin, a black streak at the cell-end and 4 fine black 
postmedian transverse lines, with oblique internerval streaks at the margin, double fringe-dots at the ends 
of the veins. Hindwing yellow with a greyish-brown distal margin. Expanse of wings: 50, $ 63 mm. French 
Guiana. 
M. querula Dogn. (151 e). Fore wing grey, strewn darker and mixed with yellowish basally, in the 
centre and subterminally, with numerous parallel transverse lines hardly contrasting with the ground-colour, 
5 of them in the first quarter of the costal margin more distinctly marked, 3 behind the middle, the innermost 
more dentate, the second most distinct, and 2 subterminal ones. Hindwing blackish with lighter fringe. Expanse 
of wings: 47 mm. French Guiana. 
M. queruloides Dogn. (151 f). Forewing grey with a brownish tint and fine black lines: an oblique 
subbasal one, one before and behind the middle, as well as a subterminal one, with a row of blackish internerval 
spots before them, two of which below and above the radial branches are removed more towards the margin, 
a reniform macula at the cell-end is finely surrounded by black. Hindwing greyish-brown. Expanse of wings: 
46 mm. Brazil. 
M. niedommoca Schs. (151 f). Head white, collar reddish ochre, thorax blackish-brown with white 
tegulae. Forewing olive grey with a fine black line from the base of the costal margin to the inner margin 
at the anterior transverse line which is fine black like the undulate-dentate posterior line; a reniform macula 
at the cell-end is finely surrounded by black, with a black spot below; subterminal black spots. Hindwing 
dark brown with white fringe. French Guiana. 
M. danala Drc. (151 e). Forewing dark brown with fine undulate black transverse lines and a reddish- 
brown spot at the cell-end; a light brown undulate submarginal line, a series of small black spots behind it, 
the anal ones of which are much larger. Hindwing blackish-brown, yellowish at the base, inner margin and 
fringe. A large species from Costa Rica and Panama. 
M. obscura Schs. (151 f) has violettish-brown forewings with a reddish-brown basal area and an olive 
oblique shadow from the first basal third to the centre of the inner margin, traversed by an interrupted black 
line: a large round olive spot at the cell-end, the dentate black postmedian line is double, its distal half in the 
lighter brown marginal area which is shaded with olive before the apex and anal angle. Hindwing brown with 
a light anal spot bordered with black above and below. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. Colombia. 
M. bronacha Schs. is allied to obsc ra. Head and thorax blackish-brown, abdomen lighter and more 
reddish. Forewing blackish-brown, dusted lighter brown, with a reddish ochreous basal area; the fine black 
transverse lines are bordered with a lighter olive brown; a round reddish olive spot at the cell-end with
