A. judas Plotz (182 k) perhaps also belongs hereto. Above similar to the preceding, but dLstally the judas. 

 wings are much lighter grey, and above the 2 hyaline small discal spots there are two more below the subapical 

 spot and farther towards the margin. Hindwing beneath very light grey with indistinct darker spots at the 

 costal margin and below the cell. Novo Friburgo. 



95. Genus: Chorauthus Scddr. 



Very closely allied to the preceding genus and chiefly only distinguished by a somewhat different course 

 of the scent-scale stripe not beginning from the rise of the upper median vein but more distally to it. 



Ch. radians Luc. (= magica Plotz) (182 h). Bright reddish-yellow with a black dentate margin, radians. 

 a black strigiform spot at the cell-end and a broad black costal margin of the hindwing. Beneath the hindwing, 

 except the reddish-yellow costal and proximal margins, is olive-green with yellow veins. — f. ammonia Plotz ammonia. 

 is a more intensely darkened form, and f. bellus nam. nov. (= radians Plotz) (182 k) is an entkelj' uni- hellus. 

 coloured dark olive-brown $ form with j-ellow fringes. Cuba. 



Ch. insularis Mdb. is closely allied, above the same, but beneath quite different, light orange, at the insular'us. 

 base of the forewing spotted black. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. St. Thomas. 



96. Genus: I^eroclea Scddr. 



Antennal club strong, short ; palpal terminal joint obtuse, bent backward. The forewings are higher, 

 because the distal margin is much longer than the proximal margin. The ^ is without the scent-scale stripe. 



L. eufala Ediv. (= florida Mob., dispersa Plotz) (182 k) is above dark brown with 2 small, transparent eufala. 

 discal dots and 3 subapical dots. Beneath the same, but somewhat paler; abdomen beneath white. Widely 

 distributed from the Southern States through Mexico to Paraguay; Antilles. 



L. dysaules G. <£• S. (182 k) differs by but one cellular spot of the forewing, and a bent, black, triangvi- dysaules. 

 lar band from the costal margin of the hindwing beneath behind the cell-end. Mexico. 



L. fusca Eeed (= concepcionis *%•.?) (182 k) presumably belongs hereto and looks like the preceding, fusca. 

 Above blackish-brown, marked as eufala, beneath greyish-brown, in the larger $ more yellowish-brown. Hind- 

 wing without markings; fringes yellowish. Described from Chile. 



L. tesera Schs. Above brown, fringes mixed with grey ; forewing with the basal half of the costal margin iesera. 

 grey; in the cell-end there are 2 very small whitish-hyaline spots above each other, 2 postdiscal ones and 3 

 subapical ones. Beneath the apex of the forewing is strewn with lilac, the proximal margin broad grey. Hind- 

 wing densely strewn with lilac, with a brownish spot in the middle of the costal margin, another one below 

 the cell near the base, behind the middle a broad brownish nebulous band parted by the veins, and some indis- 

 tinct antemarginal spots. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Rio de Janeiro. 



L. gracia Dyar. Blackish-brown with white fringes, base of forewing grey, in the cell-end a strangu- gracia. 

 lated spot, 3 subapical ones and 4 postdiscal ones, the two upper ones of which are quadrangular and hyaline, 

 the lower ones smaller and not transparent. Hindwing in the disc dusted with yellow, behind the cell in the 

 shape of a spot. Beneath the forewing is basally black, the apex dusted with grey; hindwing strewn with grey, 

 with a long black stripe-spot through the cell, and postdiscal traces of small white spots. Peru, in October. 



L. orope Capr. (182 i) almost resembles a Prenes without a scent-stripe. Above blacldsh-brown, orope. 

 on the thorax and bases of the wings lustrous greenish, in the cell of the forewing a small, narrow, whitish stripe, 

 behind it 2 small spots, and 2 subapical dots. Beneath light brownish-grey, in the disc of the forewing black, 

 anally whitish, hindwing with a white cellular dot and 6 postdiscal dots. Brazil. 



L. dedecora PI. (182 k) resembles fusca, above greyish-brown with 2 subapical dots and one post- dcdecora. 

 discal dot. Beneath duller greyish-brown, in the disc of the forewing black. From Venezuela. 



97. Genus: Styriodes tS'c/is. 



Antennae of ^/g the length of the costal margin; the latter somewhat convex, before the apex slightly 

 concave, apex sharp. On the forewing the lower median vein rises from the middle of the cell, the upper one 

 near the lower angle which sends forth the lower and middle radial veins, the latter being at the base bent 

 upward. The (J scent-organ consists of a stripe below the median from the upper to below the lower median 

 vein and a small spot above the middle of the submedian. On the hindwing the anal angle is slightly lobate. 

 Only 1 species. 



St. lyco Schs. Body and wings above blackish-brown, the scent-stripe deeper black; fringes at the 

 ends ochreous-yellow. Beneath the wings are dark reddish-brown, the proximal margin of the forewing dark 

 brown with a dark brown shade at the cell-end and below it. Costa Rica.
