white posterior half and black marginal dots. Beneath marked just the same with a brownish-grey ground- 

 colour in some parts mixed with white. Amazon. 



L. argenissa Stall (= petronius F., sudias Stgr., staudingeri Godm.) (137 i). In the ^ the whole upper anjcidsm. 

 surface is suffused with violettish-blue, narrowly marked with black; $ greyish-brown with a white oblique 

 band of the forewing ending bioadly before the anal angle. Colombia, Panama. 



L. fannia Godm. (137 i) is known to me only from Godmans figure of the ^. Above dark brown, the fannia. 

 distal part of the hindwings violettish-blue; under surface with small blackish streaks in the disc, a dull band 

 before the border and dark-pupilled eye-spots before the border of the hindwing. Guiana. 



L. laobatas Hew. (= labotas G.<&: S. p. p.) (137 h). $ blackish-brown, in the apical part of the fore- laohatas. 

 wing and before the border of the hindwing sparsely spotted in white, in the disc of both wings small black 

 dashes. ^ very similar to the figured andraemon Stich. (137 i), but the upper .surface of the ^ more reddish- andraemon. 

 than blackish-brown (= trotschi G. di. S.), the under surface more shaded and streaked in dark. Colombia trdUchi. 

 and Panama. — simplads Stich. from the Amazon is smaller than laobatas and has no white intermixture in aimjAar'is. 

 the forewing; in the hindwing the white is increased, but the blue is absent. 



L. caligata Stich. Shape of the wings like in idmon, the anal angle of the hindwings somewhat more calUjata. 

 rounded. , .Upper surface greyish-green, under surface light-blue, on both surfaces black spots, the position 

 of which corresponds with the general scheme of markings of the genus." In the hindwing besides 2 more spots 

 near the costal margin on a grey ground. Near the margin of both wings a scarcely appreciable silvery line. 

 Beneath all the spots are smaller. Rio San Juan (Colombia). 



L. antanitis Hew. probably does not belong into this genus (rather to Pandemos), in case Hewitsoxs anUmiiis. 

 figure really represents a ^. Snow-white, forewing with a broad black marginal band ending broadly in front 

 of the anal angle. A black wedge runs from the base of the forewing to the cell-end along the costa. Hindwing 

 quite snow-white. Under surface with a brownish median shade being broad at the costa of the forewing. and 

 an undulate brown line in front of the marginal part. It resembles on the whole a white Dynamine (101 A a). 

 Bolivia. 



L. byzeres Heiv. (142 d). Above brown with fewer darker dots and streaks corresponding about with hyzeres. 

 those beneath. Brazil. 



L. luceres Heiv. (142 d). I doubt whether it belongs hereto. The under surface like the upper one, luceres. 

 but orange-red and the white subapical spot of the forewing larger. Ecuador. Somewhat homochromous with 

 certain Geometrids from that region (Devarodes). 



L. pione Bat. (137 h). Deep blackish-blue, above with numerous, small dark spots and dashes. It pione. 

 faintly reminds us of an Emesis ocypore (136 g), but it is smaller and more lustrous. Para. 



L. pulchra Lathy (137 h). Similar to the preceding in the shape, but much lighter blue, the wings at puldim. 

 the base above dirty brownish grey, the disc almost without small black spots. ^ unknown. Ecuador and 

 Peru. Rare. 



L. fhara Hew. ($ = melia Bat.) (137 g, h). ^ blue, with rows of black spots, the base of the wings and thara. 

 the inner marginal part of the hindwing dirty yellowish-brown. $ quite different, whitish-yellow with black 

 macular bands, the disc of the foi'ewing like a band bone-white. Godivian separates the Guiana-form as nomia 

 from the (typical )Amazon-form. But 2 ^(^ of my collection from Surinam deviate from each other more than 

 from a Humayta-specimen. The $$ from the Amazon are somewhat yellower than the figured 2 from Cayemie, 

 which belongs perhaps to Godman's nomia; martialis Fldr. is presumably only a $-form from Siurinam. marlkiHs. 



L. emylius Cr. (3* = crispus Cr.) (137 f). (J vermilion with a black apical part and costal-marginal emi/lius. 

 part cf the wings, under sm-face silvery bluish-white; disc of the wings with blackish dots. The 9 quite different, 

 above dark-brown with an ochreous yellow oblique band of the forewing; before the apex and border small 

 white spots. Guiana, Amazon. — emyliana Stich. (= emylius Stgr.) from Peru, Ecuador and the Amazon which emyliaua. 

 I do not know is said to be larger and to have in the male increased and deeper red. Of my Peruvian specimens 

 all the (^^ exhibit a lighter red which is more interspersed with black, the $$ have a more irregular oblique 

 band on a lighter ground-colour: = crispinella Stich. (137 f as crispinellus). crispinella. 



L. cilissa Heiv. (137 f ). (J quite similar to the preceding, but the light vermilion is replaced by orange red. eilissa. 

 The $$ are quite wax-coloured with a broad dark bi'own margin of the forewing and a narrower dark margin 

 of the hindwing. From Nicaragua to Colombia. Typical $$ only have a border as fine as a line, the fringes 

 of the hindwing being brown. In specimens from Costa Rica, as we figure them, the border of the hindwing 

 is broadly brown. 



L. asteria Stich., unknown to me, is placed between cilissa and emylius; cj above red-brown, the costa, anferia. 

 the apical part as far as the cell-end, and the border broadly blackish-brown. In front of the apex 4 or 5 A^hite
