monotonously light cinnanion-colonred with i louiul yellowish spots arranged in a somicirole. and a small spot 

 )iear the l)asc' of the cell. From Florida. 



L. dion Edic. looks above very nnicli like the following ((rpii. hut it is diseernible li\ the hindwin"' ili'^n. 

 showing on its dark reddish-yellow ground a light reddish-yellow wedge-shaped streak in the inner-marginal 

 third, whilst in in-pa it is equably (hirk. From Canada to Nebraska. 



L. arpa Bsd. d- Lee. (ISl k) resembles a very large, dark IiuiikchIu: the bright parts on both sides „,;<,/. 

 of the stigma are more olive, not so reddish vellow. Beneath the hindwing is of a purer ferruginous-yelhnv. 

 Golf States. 



L. palatka Edw. (= floridensis Plotz) (LSI k) is very large, yellowish-brown, broadly margnied with i„il<ill.a. 

 black, with a comparatively small, narrow stigma and small l)laek strigiform spots behind the upper cell-angle. 

 The blackish-brown 2 has smaller, separate postdiseal spots than the following byssus, whereas the whole disc 

 of the hindwing is reddish-yellow. Beneath as above, but duller, the hindwing uni-coloured greeni.sh-brown 

 or reddisli-bi'own. Only in Floiida. from the ln<lian River. 



L. byssus Edir. (ISlk) is very similar, the seent-scale stripe is much longer; the distal margin of h./^sus. 

 the hindwing is not so shar]ily defined as in pulitikn. but gradually passes over into the yellowish-red, greenish 

 reflecting discal colour. The ':, has more coherent, larger macular bands, whereas (in the contrary the hindwing 

 onlj' shows some minute, diffuse postdiseal spots. Beneath orange-red. base and ])i(>.\imal margin of foi-ewing 

 black. Florida.

 manataaqmt and stouter, but it is otherwise very much like it. Above reddish-yellow, in the cj mostly only 

 at the costal-marginal part, but tlu' reddish-yellow colour may also extend farther towaixls the proximal margin. 

 The $ is dark brown with a light yellow postdiseal band and 3 small snbapical spots. Beneath the hindwing 

 is light brownish-grey with a hardly visible, lighter macular band behind the cell. 



L. aurinia Pldtz (181 k) is much darker coloured, the basal part dark yellowish-brown, tinted olive- luir'ni'm. 

 greenish, the whole distal half of the wing blackish-brown. Disc' of the hindwing leddish-yellow . Beneath 

 duller ferruginous-brownish, forewing in the basal part of the proximal margin black. Jamaica.

Antennal club thick and long with a short turned down apex. The obtuse palpal terminal joint projects 

 a bit from the hair of the second joint. The shape of the wings is somewhat longer owing to the longer proximal 

 margin of forewing. Stigma similarly placed as in Limochore-s. but thicker, glandular. 



E. metacomet Harr. (=^ rurea Edw.) (lS2k) looks above like Th. athenion, uni-coloured blackish- „iriarn,m'i. 

 brown wath the black stigma, beneath the same, though somewhat lighter. The $ has 2 semi-transparent, 

 small subapical spots and 2 similar ones behind the lower cell-angle. Beneath the hindwing is light brown or 

 purple-brown with traces of small, light postdiseal spots. United States to Canada. 



E. vestris Bsd. (= kiovah Beak., osceola Liidn.) is regarded by Dyar as the ty])ieal form of meta- rrsirU. 

 comet; it is scarcely different, with a slight reddish reflection towards the base and proximal margin. California. 



E. verna Edw. (= pottawattomie Wortlt.. velutina Plotz) (lS2a) differs from metacomet by whitish. rvni<i. 

 semi-transparent spots behind the stigma, suljapically, and a similar longitudinal streak in the cell. Beneath 

 lighter, more reddish, on the hindwing with a bent row of small light postdiseal spots. Atlantic States. 



E. osyka Edir. (182 a) looks above like Dietacoinet. behind the stigma we see traces of a reddish-yellowish n^nka.

E. menopis Schs. Blackish-brown with a black stigma in the basal half olive-ochreons. at the costal iiinii,i>'is. 

 margin yellow , with a yellow spot in the upper cell-end, 3 longish. yellow, small subapical spots and a yellow 

 shade behind the stigma. Hindwing haired olive with some postdiseal, faint, ochreous-yellow patches. Beneath 

 the forewing is black in and below the cell, distally reddish-brown, the spots lighter, at the anal angle a black 

 nebulous spot. Hindwing yellow, at the proximal margin dark grey, basal and marginal areas reddish-brown: 

 an antemarginal, irregular row of dark spots, also basally and in the disc, those below the cell and at the distal 

 margin being violet, the others red-brown. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Peru.

Antennae and palpi as in the preceding. Chiefly separated by the absence of the scent-scale stripe 

 in the q.
