Antennae shorter than lialf the costal margin; club with a long reverted apex. Last joint of the jjaip 

 short, conical. On the forewing the middle radial is basally onl\ slightly bent. Middle tibiae spined. The scent- 

 scale spot of the (J consists of a thick, indented, interrupted stripe extending from the rise of the upper median 

 vein to the submedian.

 Schdff., pattenii Scddr., phocylides Plotz) (187 b). The upper surface is blackish-brown \\ ith 3 white, subapical 

 small spots and 3 somewhat larger, but more or less dark cUisted or bhu'red postdiscal ones. Beneath the costal 

 margin of the forewing is ochreons, the apex and hindwing greyish brown with a slight lilac reflection, and a 

 postdiscal and an antemarginal band of dark spots; the uppermost proximal spot is removed far inwards. Some- 

 times the colour of the hindwing is also mixed a little with red-brown. North America to Brazil. — f. dido Plolz ,ii,ln. 

 is a form from \'eneznela, beneath more variegated, tinted ferruginous-red. 



L. mooreana Di/ar is similar to accius (187 b), but the ^ li*^ * white, not transparent spot above Hioondna.

 hindwing there are 5 small, light postdiscal spots in an oblique line, the uppermost being removed inwards.

L. parumpunctata i/.-»S'cM//. (187 c) is much larger, the (^ only with minute subapical dots above and luindii- 

 one postdiscal clot at most. Beneath the hindwing is moie variegated, in the costal-marginal half cerise, mixed 

 with feiruginous-brown and lilac, witha postdiscal band, the antemai-ginal band being absent. Venezuela, Brazil. 



L. leptosema Mab. Blackish-brown, fringes dark grey; the stigma is distally brightened up by yellow, irpinscma.
