968 LEREMA. By Dr. M. Dkai'dt. 



the base below the costal margin of the forewing blackish, anal angle greyish-brown. Hinclwing with 2 small 

 whitish spots behind the lower cell-angle and a snbapical one. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Petropolis. 



L. stacara Schs. Above brown with a dark marginal line and lighter fringes, forewing basally at the 

 iHOxinial margin haired olive. The under surface is brown, at the costal margin, apex and distal margin of 

 the forewing olive brown, the proximal margin and anal angle yellowish-white. Hindwing olive-brown with 

 darker markings: a short, proximal transverse line and spot, an irregular median row of small spots, a broad 

 shade from the apex to the cell-end and towards the proximal margin, and some diffuse patches before the 

 distal mavoin. The $ forewing shows 2 postdiscal and 3 subapical white spots, the under surface is strewn with 

 a more greenish yellow. Expanse of wings: 33 to 34 mm. Petropolis. 



L. postpuncta S'p. nov. (187 c). Above dark brown, strewn with yellowish, 2 postdiscal small spots 

 and one in the lower cell-angle, as well as a subapical dot are yellowish-white, 4 small spots behind the cell 

 of the hindwing are more ferruginous-yellow. Fringes lighter, distally almost whitish. Beneath the costal 

 margin of the forewing and the apex as well as the hindwings are light reddish-brown; the lower half of the 

 forewing blackish; the spots of the hindA\ing are more indistinct than above, the fringes not lighter than the 

 ground of the wings. From the Rio Songo (Bolivia). 



L. exclamationis Mab. is above jet-black with a brownish-red reflection in the disc, on the forewing 

 \\ ith 3 miiuite apical dots and 2 yellowish-white spots between the median veins, which are linear like fragments 

 of an oblique stripe distally appressed to the jet-black scent-spot. Hindwing without spots, with blackish 

 fringes. Beneath as above, at the proximal margin of the forewing paler; hindwing black with 4 light dots 

 in a semi-circle. Bolivia. 



L. subgrisea Mab. It is doubtful whether this species and the preceding belong at any rate to this 

 cenus. Olive-lnown with a yellowish reflection. Forewing with 3 very small apical dots and 2 small, yellowish, 

 blurred spots between the median veins; the scent-stripe is faint; the costal margin is darker than the rest 

 of the wing, the fringes light ash-grey. Forewing beneath grey, in the proximal half as far as the spots blackish, 

 at the costal margin grey, the inner-marginal area yellowish-grey. Hindwing grey with a reddish shine and 

 strewn with black, especially at the costal margin; proximal margin grey, haired reddish-yellow; occasionally 

 there anpear 3 or 4 small grey spots behind the cell. Bolivia. 



L. mulla Plotz (187 d). Above blackish-brown, the scent-stripe distally with a slight silveiy grey 

 reflection, behind its upper end there is a minute, white postdiscal dot, subapically 2 or 3. Hindwing without 

 markings, with lighter, somewhat yellowish fringes. Beneath the forewing is lighter brown at the costal margin, 

 apex and distal margin, in the disc there are 2 white dots. Hindwing brownish-grey, behind the lower cell- 

 angle in an oblique row with 3 or 4 snuill light dots. Described from Sminam. 

 eirjinn. L. elgina Schs. Above dark brown, \\ii\\ a small postdiscal spot behind the lower cell-end and a sub- 



apical one. Beneath the forewing is dusted reddish-brown at the costal margin and apex. Hindwing dark reddish- 

 brown with a small yellow spot at the lower cell-angle and a subapical one. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. Novo 

 Friburgo. 

 /((//'"-"""■ L. hypozona Dyar (187 d) is bronze-black, forewing with a series of small yellowish spots, one being 



submedian, a larger cpiadrangular one betA\een the median veins, 2 small ones behind the cell, removed farther 

 distally, and 3 subapical ones. Disc of hindwing haired yello-\\ish. Beneath dusted whitish, especially the hind- 

 wing, except the apex, with a broad, whitish, bent median band. Mexico (Guerrero). 

 mhiiKi. L. miqua Dyar is allied to lochins (187 c), but whereas in the latter the bands of the hindwing beneath 



are parallel and oblique to the costal margin, here the proximal one is rectangularly flawed to the costa, the 

 distal one being so much bent that it also touches the costal margin in a right angle. Peru (San Miguel). 

 aiiihli/si,;h,. L. amblyspila Mab. Upper surface dark brown with a yellowish reflection in the marginal area; forewing 



with 3 indistinct yellow subapical dots ; behind the cell there are 2 more dots being more distinct and not trans- 

 parent; stigma jet-black, fringes yellowish-grey. Hindwing blackish with a small yellow dot behind the lower 

 cell-angle. Beneath blackish, in the middle of the proximal margin grey, in the middle of the distal margin 

 black; the spots are purer white, the middle one longer. Hindwing greyish-brown with a lighter curved band 

 dying away behind the cell ; proximal margin lighter. Bolivia. 

 craxshioifi . L. crassinota Mab. is similar, but much larger; wings above olive brown with a yellowish lustre in 



the disc, with 3 small yellowish subapical dots and a larger spot behind the lower cell-angle; the scent-scale 

 stripe, distallj' reflecting yellowish, is very distinctly bipartite by the lower median vein; fringes ashy-white. 

 Hindwing yellowish with a lighter part behind the cell. Forewing beneath light reddi.sh or reddish-grey, in the 

 basal part blackish as far as the discal spot which is here more distmct ; below it another spot . Hindwing reddish- 

 grey with a postdiscal lighter band; at the margin there is a black line with small spots at the ends of the veins. 

 Bolivia. 

 hmiiiiiii. L. loammi WJntn. (= regulus Ediv.). Above lustrous dark brown, fringes lighter; forewing with 3 qua- 



drangular, small, subcostal spots, a larger jjostdiscal one below the cell, and a strigiform one below it. Beneath 

 dark chestnut-coloured, apex of forewing and border of hindwing dusted pearl-coloured grey, spots as above, 

 with 2 more between them ; hindwing with subbasal and antemarghial, irregularly bent rows of white spots, 

 bordered with black. The $ is somewhat lighter, the spots increased. Florida (Jacksonville), taken in March. 

 Ihini^. L. horus Edw. is above uniformly brown, in the disc of the forewing somewhat lighter. Beneath 



brown, on the forewing with 2 oi' 3 small whitish subapical dots and postdiscal patches indicated by white 

 scales. Texas.
