 scales; the palpi and teguUe darker than other parts. Abdomen dark

 near outer margin, interrupted by a brown line at vein 5; above this 

 line the subcostal space is thickly irrorated with lilacine and pale 

 brown scales with a round black point before apex; the basal third

 the outer half from inner margin to vein 3 paler; very indistinct traces

Hahitat. — Omai, British Guiana. 



This species resembles somewhat H. matheis Schaus, the male of 

 which differs from t3'pical Illppla in having a raised tuft of scales on 

 basal half of antennae Illppla was created by Moschler for mumetes 

 Cramer, but evidently Moschler identified some other species as 

 munietes., which undoubtedly belongs to Lep>asta Schaus. Moschler's 

 description of munietes answers better to 11. pulchra Butler or an 

 allied unnamed species.
