one placed just behind tlie cell, the other before the distal margin. Localities: Colombia and Ecuador. The 

 ? was found by Fassl on the Quindiu Pass at Machiu at 2500 m. 



L. lebbaea FIdr. (52 d) is somewhat similar to the preceding species, but the forewing is more pointed lebhaea. 

 with the distal margin nearly straight. On the under surface the hindwing and the apex of the forewing are 

 not red-brown but brownish ochre. The silvery spots on the hindwing are much reduced in number. Of the 

 first sHvery transverse band only the large spot at the end of the cell is present. The 4 spots of the 2ncl 

 transverse band are smaller, the last spot m particular indistinct. Several of the other silver dots are also ab- 

 sent. From Bogota (Colombia). The figure is from Peldbr's type in the Tring Museum. 



L. ferruginosa Btlr. Similar to labda, but with the apex of the forewing more rounded and the inner femujinosa. 

 margm shorter. The distal margin of the hindwmg is somewhat prominent in the middle. Above brown, fore- 

 wing with a white dot before the apex and another m the disc. On the under surface of the hindwing all the 

 larger discal spots are not silvery, as in labda, but orange, only the spot before the discocellular is yellowish 

 silvery. Prom Bolivia. — translucida Stgr. i. I. is a form of ferruginosa in which the reddish yellow macular transludda. 

 bands of the mider siu-face of the hmdwtng show through weakly on the upperside also. On the upperside of 

 the forewing is placed before the apex a short, indistinct red-yellow band, and beside it proximally 1, distally 

 3 white dots. Beneath the distal half of the fore^^ing is bright ochre-yellow with 2 black, white-pupilled eye- 

 spots between the median veins. From Bolivia. — hyagnis form. nov. (52 d) is a form with 3 or 4 white dots hyagnis. 

 before the apex and in the marginal area on the dark brown upper surface of the forewing. Beneath the basal 

 half of the forewing is light brown, the distal part ochre-yellow, with 2 dark brown, white-pupilled eye-spots 

 and 2 brown spots beyond them between the median vems and with several white spots and clots before the 

 apex. The hhichving is light ochre-yellow, finely dusted with brown, with several brown spots and broken trans- 

 verse bands. At the posterior end of the cell is placed the silvery spot which is common to all forms of fer- 

 ruginosa. Bolivia. — rana form. nov. (Thieme i. I.) (52 d). Likewise a form of ferruginosa, with the underside rana. 

 of the foreM"ing reddish bro\^Ti and characterized by a broad dark brown submarginal band, in which 2 white 

 dots are placed between the median veins. A white patch stands before the apex and beside it 3 white dots 

 near the distal margin. The lundwiirg has the ground-colour likewise red-brown and 3 dark red-brown transverse 

 stripes between the middle and the distal margin. Five white dots in a curved row and the silver spot at the 

 end of the cell stand out distmctly. Prom Huancabamba in North Peru. 



L. jonius Westw. (52 e). The apex of the forewing forms a right angle. Above brown with 4 white dots jonius. 

 in cellules 3- — 6, the middle 2 placed nearest to the distal margin. Fringes grey. Beneath the base and the costal 

 and distal margins of the fore\\ing are brownish ochre, the middle red-brown, distally darker, with 5 white 

 dots. The underside of the lund-nang is brownish red-yellow with 3 oblique, dentate brown lines and a row 

 of black dots. The 5 is more reddish brown above, the hindwing finely margined with reddish yellow at the 

 inner margin. The forewing has 5 white dots on both surfaces. On the under surface the apex of the forewing 

 and the whole hindwing are light yellowish grey. Instead of the dentate lines of the (J there are in the $ ob- 

 scure bands formed of brownish dusting. From Chipaque in the Colombian East Cordillera (3000 m.), where 

 also the $ was found by Fa.ssl. Flies in Apiil. 



L. excisa spec. nov. (52 f). The distal margin of the forewing is slightly excised below the apex, hence excisa. 

 the apex is prominent, especially m the $. Above brown, forewing with 5 white dots, placed in a very sinuous 

 row. Hindwing without markings. Beneath the forewing is red-brown; before the distal margin a black-brown 

 band, on which are placed 5 or 6 white dots. Hindwing olive-brown with 3 dark brown, almost horizontal 

 stripes and a row of black dots between the 2nd and 3rd. $ considerably larger, with the distal margin of the 

 forewing rounded in the middle. The ground-colour of the forewing is reddish brown above, the dots as in the ^J. 

 The hindwing has the inner margin ferruginous brown for a breadth of 1 ^ mm. The fringes are grey-brown. 

 Beneath the forewing is light red-brown with dark brown spots and bands. The white dots as in the ^. The 

 hindwing unicolorous yellow-brown with a narrow, oblique brown stripe across the middle. Colombia ( Quindiu- 

 Pass, 3500 — 3800 m., Monte Socorro, 3600 m.). Discovered by Fassl. Flies in July and September. 



L. obsoleta Westw. (= larunda ^op//.) (52 e). The hindwing is obtusely angled in the middle of the distal ofesofeta. 

 ma^rgin. Above brown with 2 white dots, one above the other, before the apex of the forewing. Beneath likewise 

 brown with the same 2 white dots and below them 2 black eye-spots with white pupils, the first placed proxi- 

 mally. Hindwing reddish brown, with 2 lilac transverse bands, partly interrupted by rust-red colour, finely 

 dusted with brown all over, with a strongly curved row of 5 to 7 white dots, often bordered with black. The 

 2 of this .species occurs in 2 forms, which differ not only in the markings but also in shape, one agreeing 

 with the ,^, while the other approaches gortyna. The first form (52e) has the distal margin of the forewing more 

 strongly rounded, but the hindwing has the same obtuse angle as the ,^. On the upperside of the forewing are 

 placed four white dots, two in cellules 4 and 5 near the distal margin and two in cellules 2 and 3 more proxi- 

 mally. The first dot is somewhat larger and transparent. On the under surface of the forewing the 2 eye-spots 

 are as in the ^, but broadly margined with red-yellow, and the light bands of the hindwmg are broader and 

 reddish grey-brown. This form was taken by Fassl at the Quindiu Pass, 2500 m., in West Colombia in Sep-
