fi-2 LEPTOPHOBIA. By J. RoBEii. 



lias a row of small white subiiiari^inal spots, uiuk'i- surface dark, yellow iiiarkiiiij^s darkened, the red basal 

 markings and yellow spots reduced. ? with yellow longitudinal central haiul on fore- and hindwing. a white 

 cocana. transverse median band and white submarginal spots on both wings. — cocana l-niJi-l.. from Ecuador, is 

 oidy distinguished from nibecii/a on the npperside liytlie narrower black distal margin of the hindwing. The 

 under surface of the hindwing has white instead of reddish ground-colour, sharji dark marking and the yellow 

 pennagna. and red markings very much reduced. ? unknown. — permagna Fi-idist., from l^eru (Ghanchamayo), is simi- 

 lar to cociniK, the red basal s})ots on the underside of the hindwing are enlarged and the submarginal 

 molione. spots larger and whitish yellow. — molione I'r/ili^f., from Paraguay, is the most southern subsjiecies and 

 has the least markings of any; it is smaller than nibrcida and has a much narrower, lighter grey-black distal 

 margin to the hindwing, which is proximally broken u]) into fine Idue-grey scaling; the light s'rey under 

 surface of the hindwing recalls riardi iu the fine yellow stripes between the nervures. 



viiirdi. p. viardi Bt/r. {= habra Doiihl.) (tiOb), from Honduras, is white above in the c^, with black, white- 



spotted apical and distal-marginal markings and a large black uiedian spot on the forewing, which however 

 is sometimes wanting, and entirely white hindwing. Underside of the hindwing similar to iinnn/rlif, bul much 

 lighter and the light yellow submarginal spots diverging from the margin from the middle of the distal 

 mai-gin towards the inner mai'gin, mai'kings of the forewing beneath as above, only much paler. ? above 

 and on the under surface of the forewing l)lack-!)idwn with vivid yellow bands and spots, under surface of 

 /nogorr. the hindwing as in the o''. only darker. — laogore andni., from Mexico and Guatemala, has lighter markings 

 on the underside of the hindwing and has no sul[iliur-yellow markings there.

This genus cannot be maintained in the wide limits laid down by the autlior, but may be detined 

 according to the characters observed in the genotype deone D.-H., with which only a few of the 15 species 

 included liy Butler are congeneric. The principal characters of this genus consist in the formation of the 

 precostal. which is curved proximally, and in the shortness of the nuddle discocellular, which is scarcely "i 

 as long as the weakly curved and less obliquely placed lower discocellular. The subcostal is four-branched 

 with two branches before the apex of the cell, the upper radial is stalked with the subcostal almost to the 

 half. The long antenna (reaching to -Is of the margin of the forewing) is not characteristic for the Lepto- 

 phob/a-species, but occurs also in some species of I'IitIx. 



eleone. L. eleone I>.-II. ( ~- suadella lliJr.) ('20c), from Golond)ia and \'enezuela, has the forewing ])ointed 



and the hindwing produced at the anal angle. The cf is lemon-coloured above with broad black distal mari;in 



and narrowly Idack hindmargin on the forewing. somewhat more than the anterior half of tlie cell being 



also black. The ? is light yellow on the hindwing. almost white on tlie forewing. but marked like the (f, 



ochracea. though ?? also occur with light ochre-yellow forewing and lemon-yellow hindwing: ab. ochracea [<.rm. nor. 



The under surface of the hindwing and the apex of the forewing are yellowish white, with a pearly gloss, 



the rest of the forewing light yellow, the hindwing has two small black spots on the discocellular and small 



doiibledoyi. black marginal spots. — In doubledayi Sh/r. i. /., from l)olivia, the tooth in the black distal margin is shorter 



hica. and the under surface of the forewing deeper yellow. — luca Inili-t.. from Bolivia and Ecuador, has a 



coiiicn. narrower black distal margin and no black border at the inner margin. — conica Fnth>l., from Golombia, 



euiTinoidcy. is an aberration of ch'oiif, in which the tooth in the black distal margin is jirolonued. — euremoides is the 



name given by FiiiHSTOKFEK to that form which is only margined ^\•itll black towards the aj)e\ and in wliich 



the cell is lightly scaled with black only at the costal marii:in. — The Ijuttertlies tly over tields and in 



thickets and are fond of being driven by the wind. 



smit/ii. L. smith! Kirb// (2Uc), from Bolivia and Peru (o(H)(» m.), has the wing-shape as in rlnuir. is lemon- 



yellow above in the cT, light orange-yellow in the ¥. the distal-marginal markings are nuich narrower and 

 the cell is not coloured with lilack. The under surface is more greenish than in ch'Diic and the black mars^inal 

 spots are wanting. 



eiicosma. L. eucosma I\r»cli. (2()c), from Peru, is larger than siuHlii, has the same yellow upper surface with 



black apical marking on the forewing. the underside is much lighter and has small black dots on the veins 

 at the distal margin of the hindwing. — This species is only known to me from the figure, consequently 1 

 cannot state positively whether it belongs in this genus. 



pinara. L. pinara l-'I'/r. (20 e), from Golombia (and Peruy) (3000 m.). has the |)eculiar form appareni in Ihe 



figure. Upper surface white with black apical and distal-marginal markings, black median spot on Ihe I me- 

 wing and slight traces of black colouring at the anal angle of the hindwing. Under surface while, im Ihe 

 discocellular of each wing a black spot, as well as small black marginal sjxds on the hindwing, Ihe laller 

 oiaiithcia. and the apex of the forewing glossy. — oiantheia l-'nilisf.. from Peru, is smaller and has a narrower black 

 distal margin on both wings, smaller median s[)ot on llie Inrewini;- and pure white apex to the forewing benealh.
