monotonously light cinnamon-coloured with 4 round yellowish spots arranged in a semicircle, and a small spot 

 near the base of the cell. From Florida. 



L. dion Edw. looks above very much like the following arpa, but it is discernible by the hindwing dion. 

 showmg on its dark reddish-yellow ground a light reddish-yellow wedge-shaped streak in the inner-marginal 

 third, whilst in arpa it is equably dark. From Canada to Nebraska. 



L. arpa Bsd. <& Lee. (181k) resembles a very large, dark bimacula; the bright parts on both sides ariM. 

 of the stigma are more olive, not so reddish yellow. Beneath the hindwing is of a purer ferruginous-yellow. 

 Golf States. 



L. palatka Edu\ (= floridensis Plotz) (181 k) is very large, yellowish-brown, broadly margined with pulalka. 

 black, with a comparatively small, narrow stigma and small black strigiform spots behind the upper cell-angle. 

 The blackish-brown $ has smaller, separate postdiscal spots than the following bys-sus, whereas the whole disc 

 of the hindwing is reddish-yellow. Beneath as above, but duller, the hindwing uni-coloured greenish-brown 

 or reddish-brown. Only in Florida, from the Indian River. 



L. byssus Edw. (181k) is very similar, the scent-scale stripe is much longer; the distal margin of by-'mus. 

 the hindwing is not so sharply defined as in palatka, but gradually passes over into the yellowish-red, greenish 

 reflecting discal colour. The $ has more coherent, larger macidar bands, whereas on the contrary the hindwing 

 only shows some minute, diffuse postdiscal spots. Beneath orange-red, base and proximal margin of forewing 

 black, Florida. 



L. cernes Bsd. d: Lee. (= ahaton Harr., taumas Scddr., themistocles Plotz) (181k) is snialler than cerne.9. 

 manataaqua and stouter, but it is otherwise very much like it. Above reddish-yellow, in the ^ mostly only 

 at the costal-marginal part, but the reddish-yellow colour may also extend farther towards the proximal margin. 

 The 2 is dark brown «'ith a light yellow postdiscal band and 3 small subapical spots. Beneath the hindwing 

 is light brownish-grey with a hardly visible, lighter macular band behind the cell. 



L. aurinia Plotz (181 k) is much darker coloured, the basal part dark yellowish-brown, tinted olive- aurirna. 

 greenish, the whole distal half of the wing blackish-brown. Disc of the hindwing reddish-yellow. Beneath 

 duller ferruginous-brownish, forewing in the basal part of the proximal margin black. Jamaica. 



85. Genus : StipliyefS Scddr. 



Antennal club thick and long with a short turned down apex. The obtuse palpal terminal joint projects 

 a bit from the hair of the second joint. The shape of the wings is somewhat longer owing to the longer proximal 

 margm of forewing. Stigma similarly placed as in Limochores, but thicker, glandular. 



E. metacomet Harr. (= rurea Edw.) (182 k) looks above like Th. athenion, uni-colovu'ed blackish- metacomet. 

 brown with the black stigma, beneath the same, though somewhat lighter. The $ has 2 semi-transparent, 

 small subapical spots and 2 similar ones behind the lower cell-angle. Beneath the hindwing is light brown or 

 purple-brown with traces of small, light postdiscal spots. United States to Canada. 



E. vestris B.sd. (= kiovah Peak., osceola Lintn.) is regarded hj Dyar as the tj^pical form of tneta- ve-i-ins. 

 comet; it is scarcely different, with a slight reddish reflection towards the base and proximal margin. California. 



E. verna Ediv. (= pottawattomie Wo7-th., velutina Plotz) (182 a) differs from ??ietocome< by whitish, vema. 

 semi-transparent spots behind the stigma, subapically, and a similar longitudinal streak in the cell. Beneath 

 lighter, more reddish, on the hindwing with a bent row of small light postdiscal spots. Atlantic States. 



E. osyka Edw. (182 a) looks above like metacomet, behind the stigma we see traces of a reddish-j^ellowish osyka. 

 lighter part. Beneath quite monotonously greyish-brown. Golf States, Indiana. 



E. menopis Schs. Blackish-brown with a black stigma^ in the basal half olive-ochreous, at the costal menopis. 

 margin yellow, with a yellow spot in the upper cell-end, 3 longish, yellow, small subapical spots and a yellow 

 .shade behind the stigma. Hindwing haired olive with some postdiscal, faint, ochreous-yellow patches. Beneath 

 the forewing is black in and below the cell, distally reddish-brown, the spots lighter, at the anal angle a black 

 nebulous spot. Hindwing yellow, at the proximal margin dark grey, basal and marginal areas reddish-brown: 

 an antemarginal, irregular row of dark spots, also basally and in the disc, those below the cell and at the distal 

 margin being violet, the others red-brown. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Peru.

Antennae and palpi as in the preceding. Chiefly separated by the absence of the scent-scale stripe
