towards the distal margin, from the whitish-grey inner-marginal part which is strewn with brown, the transverse 
lines are indistinct and interrupted, a somewhat lighter brown reniform macula at the cell-end. Hind wing 
whitish, broadly brownish at the inner margin. Brazil. 
Rh. trepida sp. n. (151 i) is similar to dimidiata, but somewhat larger and much lighter and more trepida. 
unicoloured, strewn with blackish and brown on the whitish ground, without the red-brown colour of the costal- 
marginal part; of the black longitudinal line only two dents before the margin are present, the whole interior 
portion, which separates the brown and greyish-white colours in dimidiata, is absent here; the other marking 
as in the latter, the reddish-brown, light-ringed reniform macula very distinct, also a very strongly notched 
postmedian line. Hindwing white, veins and marginal line finely yellowish, inner margin with yellow hair, 
body unicoloured brownish-grey except the first yellowish cinnamon-red abdominal segment. One female 
from Novo Friburgo, type in the Senckenberg Museum. 
84. Genus: Crisara Schs. 
Distinguished from Rhuda by much longer erect palpi, the terminal joint being almost just as long 
as the second which is long-haired. Forewing broader than in Rhuda , neuration the same, the distal margin 
likewise dentate. 
Type of genus: G. proene Schs. 
G. proene Schs. (= sambana Drc.) (152 a). Forewing grey strewn with darker grey and brownish proene. 
scales, with a large white anal spot, reddish-brown and yellowish at the apex; transverse lines very indistinct, 
only a double black basal line is distinct with a small whitish submedian spot behind it, and a somewhat dentate 
red-brown submarginal line. Hindwing greyish-brown with light fringe. Guiana to Brazil. 
G. meyeri Schs. (152 a) is very similar to proene, the wings somewhat narrower on an average, meyeri. 
Forewing much darker blackish-grey, strewn with dark red-brown only at the costal margin and in the disc, 
transverse lines very indistinct; the white anal spot sharply defined inside in a scalariform way. Guiana, also 
from Colombia (Medina) and Peru (Rio Pachitea). 
G. brewsteri Schs. is exactly like proene on the forewings, but it has white hindwings with strewn brewsteri. 
brown veins. Expanse of wings: 57 mm. Costa Rica (San Jose). panamensis /. n. (152 a) may be a form panamen- 
ofit; smaller and with narrower wings than proene, much lighter, head, thorax and abdomen light reddish- 
yellow without any grey tints; forewing with the same marking as proene , but the hindwing is light reddish- 
yellow in the basal half with a broad brownish-grey marginal band. 1 from Panama (Chiriqui); type in the 
Coll. Staudinger, Berlin Museum. 
G. ionia Drc. is very similar to the preceding species, forewing reddish-brown, strewn with black ionia. 
and grey at the costal and inner margins, with a double black subbasal line and a large bluish-grey spot above 
the anal angle, extending upwards to the centre of the distal margin; a postmedian and submarginal row of 
small black spots, fringe red-brown. Hindwing dark brown, with ligther reddish-yellow hair at the base. Amazons 
(Manaos). 
G. ambigua Dyar is likewise similar, but it is without the light anal spot, marked like proene, but ambigua. 
with more distinct transverse lines, the anterior one notched, black, the posterior one brown, with a row of 
round black spots behind it. Hindwing greyish-brown. Peru. 
G. albolimbata Dogn. Forewing light red-brown, strewn with black, especially at the costal margin, albolim- 
inner margin and subterminally, with a broad silvery white band at the distal margin, which is slightly dai’kened 
apically, a subterminal row of black internerval dots in it; behind 2 black cell-end dots there is a postmedian 
row of small black internerval spots. Hindwing blackish. Venezuela. 
G. brauni Schs. (152 a) is much more chestnut-brown, strewn with silvery white and light grey only brauni. 
in the innermarginal area, the rest of the marking exactly the same as in the preceding species, the white anal 
spot dusted somewhat olive towards the margin, the upper half of the subterminal area intensely strewn with 
blackish-grey. Hindwing lighter and more brownish than in proene , basally still lighter. Colombia (San Antonio). 
G. metcalfi Schs. (152 a) is one of the largest species, similar to the following subrutila. Wings of an metcalfi. 
oblong shape, the margin more oblique and more dentate than in the others. Head and palpi very light reddish- 
yellow. Forewing light brown of various tinges, strewn darker, the double transverse lines rather indistinct, 
the posterior one sti'ongly dentate, behind it another double line with black spots; the white anal area extends 
up to vein 6, but it gets narrower upwards owing to the dark dusting from the direction of the margin. Hindwing 
greyish-brown, lighter basally, with white fringe. Bolivia; Peru; Costa Rica. 
G. subrutila Dogn. has rusty brown forewings strewn with black and ochre, with a black, light-edged subrutila. 
streak at the cell-end, with black, light-edged postmedian internerval dots and a red-brown zigzag line before 
them; a white sagittate spot above the anal angle. Hindwing blackish-brown. French Guiana.
