of wliieh pr(ijectt!i above the upper radial vein to the margin; on the liindwiiig there are before the fine bhxek 

 marginal line small dark spots on the ends of the veins. Beneath the hindwing shows a rather broad black 

 marginal band whic'h is interrupted by white Vielow the upper radial vein; near the base there are yet some 

 dark diffuse spots. Mexico to Colombia and Brazil. — maimon Plofz f 178 e) is jirobably a small, above entirely 

 white form of it from Guiana. 



H. niacaira Reak. (= oeeanus Edir., locutia Hen-.) (17Se) is smaller, above the same, beneath the 

 hindwing is smoked Ijrownish except the anal part, the marginal band is not i'lterriipti'd and distally extending 

 in a coppery brown the basal spots are larger. .Arizona to Panama. — f. jason Ehrm. is a pale, thinly idfun. 

 scaled form from Venezuela with beneath extinct basal markings, of a slender structure. 



H. cnemus G. d- S. (ITSc) is above miich more inli'usely marked with broad blackish-brown '■hcihk 

 marginal bands; in 1 he broad apex of the forewing there are 4 or 3 small, narrow, white subapieal spots. Beneath 

 almost like nirella. but the apical part of the forewing is more broadly marked black, whereas the marginal 

 band of the hindwing is fci'bler. Only fi'om Mexico. 



H. laviana Heu\ {= leca i?//r.) (178 e) is inostly rather large with a faintly stunted, broadly blackened /" 

 apex of the wing, with subapieal. a])ical and marginal white spots. Beneath in the apex of the forewing 2 larger, 

 olive-brown spots. Hindwing moie or less extensively dusted olive yellowish-grey, with a broad, dark, basal 

 transverse band which in the cell returns to the base in an acute angle, and a broadly darkened marginal part 

 pi'oximally bordered b}^ an almost straight, darker, inside wliite line extending from the costal angle to the 

 anal angle. The development of the marking, however, is very variable. Mexico to .\rgentina, everywhere 

 very common. —^ f. ericetorum Bsd. (178 f) is a very light form from California. rri'-rionnu.

 by a black cell-end streak and while fringes speckled with black, as well as more distinctly black veins in the 

 apical half also beneath. Hindwing of a purer white with a broad olive-grey marginal part, a dark apical 

 spot and a darker marginal band l)elow the lower radial vein; the broad, proximal olive-grey band extends 

 from the costal margin to the lower median vein. Expanse of wings: 33 mnt. Described from Mexico (Orizaba). 



H, purgia Schs. must be likewise similar to laviana (178 e): above marked just like it, but below the imniid. 

 lower radial vein there appears a larger, white marginal spot. Fringes dark grey. On the hindwing the veins 

 are partly black, beside a black marginal line and black marginal lunae there is a subterminal line interrupted 

 between the radial veins; base, and proximal margin of the hindwing cUisted black. Fringes of hindwings white 

 speckled with black. Beneath marked light reddish-gre\ , forewing with a black cell-end streak; hindwing 

 yellowish-white with black veins, a broader and darker subterminal band; the proximal band as in laviana, 

 the inner-marginal area remains broadly white, luimarked. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Castro (Parana). 



H. pastor FUlr. (= omrina Btlr.) (178 f). I consider to be a distinct species; smaller than lavian.a., /y».s/«/-. 

 without traces of a stunted apex of the wing; owing to the more distinctly marked veins the dark marginal 

 area looks strijied. Marginal part of the hindwing more intensely marked. Beneath of a purer white, markings 

 in the marginal part likew ise more radiately arranged and with a decidedly yellowish-green tint : basal band 

 feebler, in the middle interrupted. Cxuiana to Brazil. — In Bolivia there occurs a still much more intensely 

 marked form which I denominate iritensa form. nov. (178f). Above particularly on the hindwing in the costal iiitnisa. 

 half there appears a postdiscal band angularly projecting distally and being also present beneath; the subbasal 

 band is deep olive-brown and complete. — f. panipina Plotz (178 f) from Buenos Ayres, in contrast with it. is jKnuiihia 

 much lighter, above much more extensively white, and beneath on the hindwing only the basal band is rudi- 

 mentarily noticed.

 form of intni.s (178 d) from which it is not discernible above, whilst beneath the hindwing is of a more intense 

 yellow colour with ])r(Hninently black veins and internerva! stripes, without any dark antemarginal spots. From

H. concinnata Mab. seems to be allied to laviaii'i (17Sc); distal margin of wings more intensely marked cuiiciiitinld. 

 black with small, white submarginal and very small marginal spots which are absent between the median veins. 

 On the hindw ing beneath the upper part of the basal band is absent. Described from Rio Girande do Sul. 



H. figara Btlr. AYings above white, forewing at the base, costal margin, apex and distal margin brown; iinai-.i. 

 an apical, white oblique line is parted into 5 dots by the veins crossing it. Hindwing at the proximal and distal 

 margins brown, veins (except the base of the costa) black, fringes white speckled with brown. Body brown, head 

 and prothorax spotted white. Wings beneath white, veins in the distal half black; apex betwei-n I lie veins 

 wliite. Otherwise as above, but lighter. Body white. 1.0 inch. Exact patria not stated.

Rather closely allied to the preceding genus; the basal palpal joints are clad with long hair, the conical 

 terminal joint is bent forward. Costal fold very strongly developed. Hindwing in the basal cpiarter of its costal
