CHORANTHUS: LERODKA; ,STYRIODES. By Dr. M. Draldt. 941 



A. judas Plolz (182 U) perhaps also belongs hereto. Above similar to the preceding, but distally the in,/,, 

 wings are niueli lighter grey, and above the 2 hyaline small diseal spots there are two more below the subapieal 

 spot and farther towards tlu' margin. Hindwing beneath very light grey with indistinct darker .spots at the 

 costal margin and lielow the cell. Novo Fribnrgo. 



95. Genus: Ciioraiitliiis Snidr. 



Very closely allied to the preceding genus and chiefly only distinguished by a somewhat different course 

 of the sccnt-scalc stri])e not beginning from the rise of the upper median vein but moie distally to it. 



Cll. radians Luc. (^ magica Plotz) (is2h). Bright reddish-yellow with a black dentate margin, 

 a black strigiform spot at the cell-end and a broad black costal margin of the hindwing. Beneath the hindwing, 

 except the reddish-yellow costal and proximal margins, is olive-green with yellow veins. f. ammonia Plotz 

 is a more intensely darkened form, and f. bellus iioni. nov. (= radians Plofz) (l.s2k) is an entirely uni- he/Ins. 

 coloured dark olive-brown .f form with yellow fringes. Cuba. 



Ch. insularis 3Iab. is closely allied, above the same, but beneath quite different, light orange, at the hixuha-} 

 base of the forewing spotted black. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. 8t. Thomas. 



96. Gomis : licrodeu Snlilr. 



Antenna! clul> strong, short; pal])al tt'rminal joint ol>tusi', bent backward. The foi'cwings are higher, 

 because the distal margin is much longer tlian the proximal margin. The ,^ is without the scent-scale stripe. 



L. eufala Edir. ( - florida Mab., dispersa Pldtz) (182 k) is above dark brown with 2 small, transparent r,ii„i,i. 

 diseal (hits and 3 subapieal (hits. Beneath the same, but somewhat paler: abchimen beneath white. \Videl\- 

 distriljuted from the Southern States through Mexico to Paraguay: Antilles. 



L. dysaules G. d- S. (182 k) differs by but one cellular spot of the forewing, and a bent, black, triangu- ih/saiilr^ 

 lar band from the costal margin of the hindwing beneath behind the cell-end. Mexico. 



L. fusca Beetl (= concepcionis »%•.?) (182 k) presumably belongs hereto and looks like the preceding. iKsta. 

 Above blackish-brown, marked as eufala, beneath greyish-brown, in the larger $ more yellowish-brown. Hind- 

 wing without markings; fringe.s yellowish. Described from C'hile. 



L, tesera Srhs. Above brown, fringes mixed with grey: forewing with the basal half of the costal margin li.-^rni. 

 grey; in the cell-end there are 2 very small whitish-hyaline spots above each other, 2 postdiscal ones and 3 

 subapieal ones. Beneath the apex of the forewing is strewn with lilac, the proximal margin broad grey. Hind- 

 wing densely strewn with lilac, with a brownish spot in the middle of the costal margin, another one below 

 the cell near the base, behind the middle a broad bro\\'nish nebulous baiul parted by the veins, and some indis- 

 tinct autemarginal spots. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Rio de .Janeiro. 



L. gracia Dyar. Blackish-bi-own with white fringes, base of forewing grey, in the cell-end a strangu- (inn-in. 

 lated spot, 3 subapieal ones and 4 postdiscal ones, the two upper ones of which are quadrangular and hyaline, 

 the lower ones smaller and not transparent. Hindwing in the disc dusted with yellow, behind the cell in the 

 shape of a spot. Beneath tlie forewing is basally black, the apex dusted with grey: hindwing strewn with grey, 

 with a long black stripe-spot through the cell, and postdiscal traces of small white sptits. Peru, in October. 



L. orope Capr. (182 i) almost resembles a Prenes without a scent-stripe. Above blackish-brown. o,<>/»r. 

 on the thorax and bases of the wings lustrous greenish, in the cell of the forewing a small, narrow, whitish stri})e, 

 behind it 2 small spots, and 2 subapieal dots. Beneath light brownish-grey, in the disc of the forewing black, 

 anally whiti.sh, hindwing with a white cellular dot and 6 postdiscal dots. Brazil. 



L. dedecora PI. (IS2k) resembles fusci. above greyish-bi'own with 2 subapieal dots and nne post- ili-iimim 

 diseal dot. Beneath duller greyish-brown, in the disc of the forewing black. From Venezuela. 



97. Genus: »St,yrio<lo»« Sch.s. 



Antennae of "^,3 the length of the costal maigin: the latter somewhat convex, Ix'forc the apex slightly 

 concave, apex sharp. On the forewing the lower median vein rises from the middle of the cell, the upper one 

 near the lower angle which sends forth the lower and middle radial veins, the latter being at the base bent 

 upward. Tlie ^ scent-organ consists of a stripe below the median from the upper to below the lower median 

 vein and a small spot above the middle of the sidimedian. On the hindwing the anal angle is slightly lobate. 

 Only 1 species. 



St. lyco Schs. Body and wings above blackish-brown, the scent-stripe (U'cjicr black; fringes at the ///,-.,. 

 ends ochreous-yellow. Beneath the wings are dark reddish-biown, tlie ])roximal margin of tlu- forewing dark 

 Virown with a dark brown shade at the cell-end and below it. Costa Rica.
