Bolivia). 156, A. modesta (F.), lectotype. 157. A. schaumi (Signoret), lectotype 
(only left side shown). 158, A. stzllifera (Stal), lectotype. 
present illustration of A. pulchra (Fabricius) (fig. 1427) but with the postero- 
lateral lobes more rounded and not produced as much. The conical lobes of 
the genital chamber are visible even in dried specimens. 
Color of crown, pronotum, and scutellum, sordid orange, with markings as 
in venata, except that spots of head are absent (holotype) or with the basal one 
paler when present. Forewings pale purplish translucent with dark purple 
veins and markings much as in venata except those at apices of anteapical cells 
which are less extensive. Face, thoracic pleura, and legs concolorous with 
crown, legs darkened as in venata. 
Holotype and one additional male and three females, Teffé, Upper Amazon, 
Brazil (RMS) and one female topotype (AMNH). 
A. incommoda, n. sp., is closely related to venata from which it may be dis- 
tinguished most readily by the aedeagal characters mentioned in the above 
description.
