suhgrlsea. 



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

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

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



proximal margin haired olive. The mider 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 margin. The $ forewing shows 2 postdiscal and 3 subapical white spots, the under surface is strewn with 

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

 posipiincto. L. postpuncta sj}. 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-j'ellow. 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 hindwing 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 browni.sh-red reflection in the disc, on the foreM'ing 

 with 3 minute apical dots and 2 yellowish-white spots between the median veins, Avhich are linear lil^e fragments 

 of an oblique stripe distally appressed to the jet-black scent-spot. Hindwing \Aithout spots, with blackish 

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

 in a semi-circle. Bolivia. 



L. subgrisea J/a&. It is doubtful whether this species and the preceding belong at any rate to this 

 genus. Olive-brown Avith a yellowish reflection. ForeAving 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. ForeAA'ing beneath grey, in the proximal half as far as the spots blackish, 

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

 streAvn AA'ith black, especially at the costal margin; proximal margin grej^ haired reddish -yellow ; occasionally 

 there appear 3 or 4 small grey spots behind the cell. BoliA'ia. 



mulla. L. muUa Plotz (187 d). Above blackish-broAAii, the scent-stripe distally AA-ith a slight silveiy grey 



reflection, behind its upper end there is a minute, Avhite postdiscal dot, subapicallj' 2 or 3. Hindwing without 

 markings, AA-ith lighter, someAvhat yelloAvish fiinges. Beneath the forewmg is lighter broAA'n at the costal margin, 

 apex and distal margin, in the disc there are 2 Avhite dots. Hindwing broAA'nish-grey, behind the lower cell- 

 angle in an oblique roAV with 3 or 4 small light dots. Described from Surinam. 



elcjxna. L. elgina Schs. Above dark broAvn, Avith 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 A\'ith a small j^ellow sjDot at the lower cell-angle and a subapical one. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. Novo 

 Friburgo. 

 hypozomi. L. hypozona Dyar (187 d) is bronze-black, forewing Avith a series of small yellowish spots, one being 



submedian, a larger C[uadrangular one betAA-een the median A^eins, 2 small ones behmd the cell, removed farther 

 distally, and 3 subapical ones. Disc of hmdAving haired yelloAA'ish. Beneath dusted whitish, especially the hind- 

 wing, except the apex, Avith a broad, AA'hitish, bent median band. Mexico (Guerrero). 



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



are parallel and oblic^ue to the costal margin, here the proximal one is rectangidarly flawed to the costa, the 

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

 ainblyspila. L. atTiblyspila 3Iab. Upper surface dark broAvn 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-greA". Hindwing blackish with a small yelloAA' 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 AA^hite, the middle one longer. Hindwing greyish-broAvir with a lighter curved band 

 dj'ing awaA' behind the cell; proximal margin lighter. Bolivia. 

 crassinofa. L. crassinota Mab. is similar, but much larger; AAings above olive brown AAith a yellowish lustre in 



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

 stripe, distallj' reflectmg yelloAALsh, is very distmctly bipartite by the lower median vem; fringes ashy- white. 

 Hind\Aing yellowish with a lighter part behii:d the cell. ForeAving beneath light reddish or reddish-gi-ey, in the 

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

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

 Bolivia. 

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



drangular, small, subcostal spots, a larger postdiscal one below the cell, and a strigif orm one below it. Beneath 

 dark chestnut-coloured, apex of forewing and border of hindwmg dusted pearl-coloured gr-ey, spots as above, 

 with 2 more between them ; hindwing AA'ith subbasal and antemarginal, irregularly bent rows of white spots, 

 bordered AA'ith black. The 2 is someAA'hat lighter, the spots increased. Florida (Jacksonville), taken in March. 



Jwnis. L. horus Edw. is above uniformlj' brown, in the disc of the foreAvmg somewhat lighter. Beneath 



broAvn, on the forewing AA'ith 2 or 3 small whitish subapical dots and postdiscal patches indicated by white 

 scales. Texas.
