A. divisa Wkr. (= strigata Mschlr.) (154 c) is a most variable species, if the specimens presumed to divisa. 
belong together are really identical, the inner margin being sometimes very deeply dentate, sometimes quite 
straight. Forewing copper-red dusted with purple violet, darkened before the purple black oblique line which 
is bordered somewhat lighter distally, except the broad light costal margin; fringe and inner margin likewise 
darkened purple blackish, especially at the inner-marginal dent; an oval surrounded by blackish is at the cell- 
end, a ring-macula in the cell; two distantly separated fine blackish arcuate antemedian lines, the distal one 
of which ends near the postmedian line at the inner-marginal dent. Hindwing brownish-grey, somewhat lighter 
towards the base, fringe light. The bright rusty yellow collar contrasts with the purple violet thorax. Colombia. 
A. acutidivisa Rothsch. is reddish-cinnamon on the foi’ewing with a yellowish tint, with a deep red- acutidivisa. 
brown oblique band which is faded inside, distinctly defined outside, and extends from the apex into the inner- 
marginal dent, a very fine antemedian line is very deeply notched. Hindwing brownish pink. Expanse of wings: 
38 mm. French Guiana. 
A. neobule Drc. (154 c). Forewing yellowish-brown, almost quite yellow along the costal margin, the neobule. 
dark oblique line of acutidivisa is double here, a submarginal row of very fine brown dots, and 2 small round 
spots in the cell; antemedian line very fine. Hindwing reddish-brown, lighter towards the base. Costa Rica. 
A. lilacina Dogn. (154 c) resembles neobule, but the forewing is dusted with violet, greenish-yellow at Ulacina. 
the anterior half of the costal margin and at the anal angle, with a greenish-yellow reniform macula. Hind¬ 
wing light brownish. French Guiana. 
A. picturata Dogn. The inner-marginal dent is prolonged into a small tail twice as long as in the preced- piclurata. 
ing species. Forewing red-brown with a yellowish tint, with brownish veins in the postmedian area; a white 
subbasal double line of an elliptical shape, a large brown cellular spot behind it, and a somewhat smaller rounder 
one at the cell-end; the brown oblique line is distally set with white vein-dots; 2 dark dots above the anal 
angle. Hindwing brownish, fringe whitish. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. French Guiana. 
A. archimma Sells. d> antennae with short ciliary tufts. Anterior body fawn-coloured, intermixed with archimma. 
whitish. Forewing cinnamon-red, suffused with purple, a strong dent at the inner margin; the fine oblique 
bent subbasal line is partly bordered with white, like the fine excurved antemedian line; the fine white post¬ 
median line is bordered with red-brown inside and extends from the apex behind the inner-marginal dent; 
ring-macula and reniform macula surrounded by fine dark rings; marginal area slightly strewn with black, 
a light brown spot at the anal angle. Hindwing fawn-coloured, costal margin lighter. Expanse of wings: 
37 mm. Amazons (Rio lea). 
116. Genus: Dylomia Fldr. 
Structure very similar to that of the preceding genus, but forewing with an obtuse apex and a rounded 
not indented inner margin; vein 5 arises near the upper cell-angle, 6 from the centre of the areole; the rest 
of the neuration almost the same; 3 and 4 of hindwing arise either stalked or from the same base. The costal 
vein branches off from the centre of the cell. Several mostly delicate tropical species have been described. 
Type of genus: D. tortricina Fldr. 
D. tortricina Fldr. (154 d). Forewing deep red-brown with a yellowish-white costal-marginal stripe and tortricina. 
a very large reflecting violet discal spot; the scaled dent at the inner margin is blackish-brown. Hindwing 
brown with a whitish inner-marginal area. Brazil. 
D. ciliata Fldr. (= consobrina Sch.s.) (154 d). Forewing light reddish-yellow with a fine yellowish ciliaia. 
ochreous costal margin and a violet spot in the centre of the costal margin; an undulate dark yellow ante- 
median transverse shadow' and a similar dot at the cell-end; a brownish shadow containing white vein-dots 
is before the red-brown marginal line, a dark violet shadowy stripe scaled lilac is behind it. Hindwing light 
reddish-yellow, red-brown at the margin. French Guiana, Amazons. 
D. ochreata Schs. Forewing ochreous, costal-margin red-brown except the postmedian part remaining ochreaia. 
yellow; an irregular darker antemedian shadow', the inner margin before it is shaded lilac; a red-brown dot 
at the cell-end; a dark yellow' submarginal line with white vein-dots is before the dark lilac marginal shadow. 
Hindwing ochreous, lighter towards the base. Expanse of wings: 29 mm. French Guiana. 
D. caesia Fldr. (154 d) is light violettish grey on the head, thorax, and forewing, with a blackish-brown caesia. 
arcuate streak basally below the cell, and a straight postmedian line extending from the darkened brownish- 
grey apex to the centre of the inner margin, after having formed a right angle on the inner-marginal vein; a 
very fine parallel line extends before it, 3 blackish small spots behind it before the centre of the margin. Collar, 
abdomen, and hindwing are bright orange. Brazil.
