Bbazil, Parintins, October (Parish) ; 6 ex. I also refer to this 
genus cancellata Meyr. (placed in Chelaria), which although con¬ 
stantly distinct by neuration (forewings 7 absent, hindwings 3 and 
4 diverging from base) is hardly distinguishable otherwise.

black trapezoidal blotch extending over median third of costa, 
rapidly narrowed downwards and reaching half across wing, 
laterally edged white suffusion, preceded on costa by a small black 
mark ; from immediately beyond this an acutely angulated white 
line crosses wing to tornus, from beneath its angle a short longitu¬ 
dinal black mark reaches termen beneath apex, above this costal 
area brown, costal edge white with two approximated black marks : 
cilia greyish, base white, round apex series of white points and a
