Leptoceridae 
Leptocella flavofasciata Ulmer 
Fiaures 4c,d; PLATE 25 
Leptocella flavofasciata Ulmer, 1907a, pp. 18-20; 1907b, p. 138; 1913, p. 410.— 
Tomaszewski, 1961, p. 3.—Fischer, 1966, pp. 55, 56. 
Leptocella sparsa Banks, 1920, p. 353. [New synonymy.] 
The holotype of the species is rather mutilated; both the hindwings 
and the abdomen are missing. However, the forewings still show 
enough of their color pattern to permit recognition of the species. The 
photograph of the forewing is made from the holotype which is in 
Warsaw. The figure of the male genitalia was prepared from a syn- 
cype of sparsa in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 
Leptocella mulleri Ulmer 
Figures 4a,b; PuatE 2p 
Leptocella mullert Ulmer, 1905a, pp. 29, 30; 1907b, p. 188; 1913, p. 410.—Toma- 
szewski, 1961, p. 3.—Fischer, 1966, p. 58. 
The species was described from a single male, which has now lost the 
wings on the right side. The forewing of the species is buff, with black 
spots on the veins. The figures of the wings and genitalia were made 
from the holotype which is in Warsaw. 
Leptocella punctata Ulmer 
Fiaure 4e-g; PLATE 2F 
Leptocella punctata Ulmer, 1905b, p. 75; 1907b, p. 138; 1913, pp. 402, 410.— 
Fischer, 1966, p. 60. 
Leptocella fenestra Banks, 1913 b, p. 237. [New synonymy.] 
Leptocella mixta Navas 1920b, p. 67; 1923, p. 200; 1929, p. 225.—Schmid, 1949, 
pp. 386, 387. [New synonymy.] 
Leptocella ambitiosa Navas, 1933, p. 118.—Schmid, 1949, p. 386. [New synonymy.] 
Lectotype, male: ‘‘Rio Preto, zw. Boquero u. Sta. Rita. Bras. 
Exped. Penther 703,” ‘23.4,” “punctata det. Ulmer,” “Lectotype 
Leptocella punctata Ulmer By Flint.” In Vienna. 
The two type specimens of punctata are rather rubbed, but enough 
of the pattern remains to help with the recognition of the species. 
The wings are covered with white scales and marked with irrecular 
yellowish to brownish patches frequently outlined in dark brown. 
The figures of the genitalia and photograph of the wings were made 
from the lectotype. 
The types of punctata and fenestra have been compared side by side 
and found to be similar in all essential respects. Schmid (1949) 
synonymized ambitiosa with mizta and provided figures which enable 
me to synonymize them with punctata.
