III. Both wings cut out below the apex and thereby angled at the middle of the distal margin. The hindwing 
of annuligera with another angle at the margin at vein 8. 
D. annuligera Wkr. Wings greyish red with darker transverse lines. Forewing with black, light-edged 
circles arranged band-like below the cell and at the margin. On the hindwing these circles are distributed at 
the inner margin and distal margin, the latter ones partly connected in pairs. 45 mm. Brazil. — Siculodes 
mediula Gn. is presumably the same species. 
D. oleigutta Fldr. (175 f). Distinguished in the contours of the wing from annuligera by the undulated 
distal margin on the hindwing between the angle and the anal angle. Forewing with a slight excision at the 
anal angle. Forewing hyaline white. The basal area red-brown, somewhat extra-angular at the median vein. 
Exterior band broad, extending to the base of veins 3—5, then interrupted and narrowly continued from vein 2. 
The apical area is broadly red-brown, extending down to vein 4, the costal margin behind the exterior band 
red-brown as far as vein 7, a spot at the anal angle also red-brown. Hindwing red-brown. A large round hyaline 
spot at the base, a similar one at the costal margin near the apex. Both wings with parallel linear streaks in 
the hyaline spots. 45—50 mm. Brazil, Surinam. 
D. vitrea sp. n. (175 g). A larger excision at the anal angle in both wings than in oleigutta, the hindwing 
not undulated at the margin, the angle smaller than in oleigutta. The thorax and the costal margin of the fore¬ 
wing dark red-brown, narrower towards the apex. Red-brown also at the base. Close behind it the interior 
band, broad in front, bent inwards, ending narrower. A square spot behind the centre of the wing between 
vein 2 and the inner margin. A discal streak from the anal angle to vein 4, somewhat inwards, blurred on both 
sides at vein 2. A thick line from the costal margin near the apex to the margin at vein 5. Besides numerous 
fine reticular lines. Hindwing only with red-brown reticular lines which are close together at the inner margin, 
more widely meshed elsewhere. $ 40 mm. Itatiaya. Type in the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfort on the Maine. 
D. basipleta Warr. The marking and the reticular lines are red-brown. The base of the forewing as far 
as 2 / 5 inner margin and the stripe at the costal margin red-brown. Two dark brown quadrangles below the 
stripe at 2 / 5 and J / 6 costal margin. A line extends from the interior angle of the first quadrangle to an urn-shaped 
spot at % inner margin. Another line from the interior angle of the second spot to a triangular spot at the anal 
angle, a thick line from the exterior angle to the middle of the distal margin. The base of the hindwing 
is narrowly red-brown, a quadrangular spot at the cross-vein and one at the end of the inner margin are also 
red-brown. Both wings with many reticular lines. 40 mm. Described according to 1 $ from British Guiana. 
vitrea may be similar, since it also has a red-brown vein 2 on the forewing. 
D. dismutata Warr. (175 g). Similar to basipleta. All the brown marking paler, more rusty brown. The 
basal spot on the forewing covers one third of the length of the wing, the costal-marginal stripe is broader. 
The second spot below the costal margin is nearer to the apex and not connected with the distal margin. Vein 
2 is not red-brown. Hindwing not with a line from % costal margin to the distal margin, but only with a short 
oblique streak near the apex. The pale ground-colour is slightly reddened. Hindwing with red reticular lines. 
40—50 mm. Upper Amazon R. 
D. lineigera sp. n. (175 h). Wings shaped as in vitrea, but the margin of the hindwing is straight below 
vein 4. Body and wings brownish ochreous. The costal margin of the forewing narrowly lighter, with small 
dark brown spots from which irregular lines proceed. The interior and median lines straight, somewhat nearer 
together at the inner margin. The exterior line somewhat undulate, ending at the anal angle, the submarginal 
line almost vertical from the distal margin at vein 3. Besides a few less distinct lines. Hindwing with a straight 
median line, an undulated exterior line from the anal angle to % costal margin, a submarginal line parallel to 
it, from vein 3 at the margin. The lines on the forewing beneath are more distinct, on the hindwing only the 
median line is distinct, the others reticular. $ 33 mm. Molinar, Paraguay, Fr. Schade leg. Type in the Sencken¬ 
berg Museum. 
D. albiapicata Warr. (175 b). Both wings undulated at the distal margin below the excision. Forewing 
rusty brown, the lines and spots darker. The costal margin of the forewing dark brown, somewhat lighter at 
the apex. Brown streaks in the base of the cell with a rusty brown spot at % costal margin. An oblique rusty 
brown line close behind the middle, forked at the costal and inner margins, the lower fork filled with rusty brown. 
A line extends from the upper fork to a large oval spot between veins 2 and 3, below it a projectile-shaped spot 
at the anal angle, and a round one above it. Distal margin darker rusty brown, white at the apex. Hindwing 
with a bent rusty brown line at %. A small white spot at the lower cell-angle. Spots below the costal margin 
are confluent outside, a round spot between veins 2 and 3. Apex white. Similar to jrondicula Gn. (174 g), but 
with differently shaped wings. 60 mm. Peru. — We figure a specimen from Ecuador (in the Senckenberg 
Museum), winch slightly differs from the type. The forewing lacks the triangular spot at + costal margin. The 
lower fork of the median line is shaped like a vase below vein 2. The two spots at the anal angle are more 
fused, another smaller spot is above vein 3, and a few dots are above it. Forewing with veins 8 + 9 stalked, 
but this may be only abnormal. 56 mm. 
D. timida Warr. (175 g) is the smallest species. Whitish. The veins and fine reticular lines are brown. 
The costal margin and the basal third tinged with brown. An exterior and submarginal narrow brown band
