From the want of any male in this genus, I am obliged to copy 

 Gnenee's description. Comparing my single female of II. sitellarta Guen., 

 fiom Porto Rico, I am unalde to find any good structural characters to 

 sei)arate it from females of Sj/nchlord. In the style of coloration, it differs 

 decidedly, having a well-marked brown discal <lot on each wing, and a dorsal 

 row of raised abdominal white round spots surrounded with red. The usual 

 white lines are I'cpresented l)y rows ol isolated white dots. The hind wings 

 are, ])erluips, a little less convex on the outer edge than in SyncJdora. The 

 female palpi are as in Sync/i/ora. Until our native species is discovered in 

 both sexes, the generic characters must remain as (pioted from M. Guenee. 

 In venation. 11. sitellaria differs from Si/nc///ora chiefly in the posterior discal 

 venule beini^ bent in the middle rather than near the origin, as usual : other- 

 wise the venation is much as in Synclilom.
