apex or termen, and large cell-spots; that of the forewing oblique, dark-green, that of the hindwing yellowish, 
elongate, broadest and most distinct in its anterior half. Carabaya, 3100 feet: Tinguri, 2 La Oroya, 1 2. 
It would be an astonishing, but not absolutely incredible thing if this were shown to be the $ of subaurea. 
The other species do not show any pronounced sex-dimorphism. 
marginata. L. marginata Schaus is intermediate between permagna and the two species which follow, the forewing 
having a rather large black cell-spot, the hindwing an elongate yellow-whitish one. Both wings with some very 
fine blackish irroration, distal border and fringe as in flavilimes (6f), the former separated from the ground¬ 
colour by a very fine, but tolerably complete, orange-red line, which encroaches on the yellow at the apex of 
the forewing. Expanse 24 mm. Costa Pica: Tuis, 2400 feet, June 1907, 1 §. 
decor ata. L. decorata Warr. (6 f), described as an aberration of flavilimes, is evidently a separate species. Crests 
perhaps stronger, somewhat metallic; wings greyer green, with the proximal edge of the yellow border markedly 
crenulate. Amazons (type) and French Guiana. 
flavilimes. L. flavilimes Warr. (6 f). Clearer green than the two preceding, the reddish apical spot present, the red 
line which separates the yellow border from the ground-colour usually fragmentary on the fore wing, better 
developed on the hind. Peru (type) and the Amazons. 
nigripunc- L. nigripunctata Warr. (0 g) differs from flavilimes (6 f) in the broader and paler yellow costal streak, 
substitution of a transversely oblique dash for the apical spot, still straighter boundary of yellow distal borders 
and presence of a black cell-dot on the hindwing. Antenna of $ pectinate. S. E. Peru (type) and French Guiana. 
pallidaria. L. pallidaria Schaus (6 g) differs from all the more tropical Leptolopha in its more uniform pale-green 
colouring (with some white admixture) and structurally in having the cells less short and the $ antenna more 
strongly pectinate. Cell-dots black, but very minute. Described from S. E. Brazil, but subsequently found 
also in N. Argentina and once in Bolivia. 
20. Genus: Auophylla Warr. 
This genus and the 6 which follow agree pretty closely in the strong, compact, more or less metallic 
abdominal crests and coidd without much difficulty be united into a single extensive genus, though the length 
of the palpus shows great variation. Antenna of the $ nearly always pectinate. The margin of the forewing is 
nearly always smooth, and even that of the hind wing seldom shows any noteworthy irregularity, except in a 
few tailed species in Oospila. Auophylla consits of a few species which are separable from Oospila by their shorter, 
slenderer palpus, less short cell of the hindwing (at least anteriorly), with less raised cell-spot and the 1st median 
(except in one new species) separate, not stalked. Crests on the whole less large. Almost confined to localities 
between 20° and 30° S. lat. 
magnified. A. magnifica Schaus (6 g). “Forewing white; costa yellowish; the extreme margin light brown; a small 
green space at base followed by a larger triangular green space, the base of which rests on the subcostal; an 
outer green space from above end of cell on subcostal to near the apex, contracting very much at vein 5, then 
expanding into a broad semilunar spot, not quite reaching vein 2; a subterminal brown line descends from vein <5, 
curves below the green spot, and suffuses with a broader shading which fills the median space to inner margin; 
a cluster of darker brown scales in cell; terminal line dark brown. Hindwing white, irrorated at base and in 
cell with brown ; a large irregular green semilunar spot on inner margin, its point towards base acute, the other 
point obtuse before vein 5; a dark streak in cell, bifurcating towards costa; a subterminal brown line. Expands 
37 mm. Sao Paulo. Allied to includaria.” The $ figured has the green areas a little more extended, but the 
determination seems safe. AS are smaller, the white parts more heavily marked with brown. Is it more than 
a form of the following ? 
includaria. A. includaria H.-Sch. (= inclusaria Guen.) (6 g). Distinct from basiplaga in its larger size, large dark 
cell-marks and much broader pale borders, that of the hindwing connected with the patch which surrounds 
the cell-mark. Brazil (type) and Paraguay; I know only the $. 
basiplaga. A. basiplaga Warr. (6g). Pale markings more extended than in multiplagiata, particularly at hind 
angle of forewing. Paraguay (type), N. Argentina and Matto Grosso. 
muliipla- A. multiplagiata Warr. (6 g). In addition to the reduced basal and terminal markings, this species is 
giata. characterized by the large reniform cell-marks, which recall those of includaria but are well isolated from the 
borders. Paraguay (type) and N. Argentina. 
leuco- A. leucothalera sp. n. (6 g) differs from all the other Auophylla in its shorter cells, forewing with 
thaler a. discocellulars deeply incurved, 1st median connate or just stalked, hindwing with 1st median definitely stalked: 
superficially distinguishable from the first two species by some differences in the position of the green markings,
