00 RHOMBOCHLORA; LOPHOCHORISTA. By L. B. Prout. 
P. stagonata Feld. (5 k) differs from the neighbouring species in the reduction of the white markings, 
which consist almost exclusively of dots and extremely small spots, and in the brown terminal line and brown 
fringe-spots opposite the veins. Bogota. — holochroa Prout is probably an aberration or local form, lacking 
the white maculation (excepting at termen) and having the brown spots in the fringe much weakened. Chiiiqui, 
1 — arycanda Druce (5 k) seems to be another form of stagonata, but with the white spots enlarged, the 
terminal line obsolete. Costa Rica: Rio Sucio (type 9) and Orosi. 
P. athena Druce (7 i). A fine species, characterized by the large white apical or subapical patches. 
Costa Rica to S. E. Peru, the type from Chiriqui, Panama. 
P. diversata Dyar is unknown to me. “Porewing with the costa white, powdered with green; a broad 
white subbasal band; a slender mark on the bent discal vein; an outer white band, excurved over the cliscal 
venules, its inner edge dentate, its outer edge diffused above and duplicated by small dentations, narrow at 
veins 3 and 4, broadly diffused to tornus and containing an upright blackish macular shade; a wavy white 
terminal line. Hindwing similarly marked, the outer line less dentate inwardly and running up along inner 
margin to base, the black marking at tornus small. Expanse 30 mm.” A $ from Tehuacan, Mexico (Rob. 
Muller). 
P. nivetacta Warr. (8 a). A rather small species; again with a quite different distribution of the white 
areas. Further distinct in the reddish costal margin and dark cell-spots. Guianas and Amazons, the type 
from Maroni River. 
26. Genus; Ithombochlora Warr. 
Probably only a section of Oospila or (if — as I suspect — the $ palpus prove short) of Progonodes, 
distinguished by the shape, especially of the hindwing, which has the distal margin produced to an acute angle 
at the 3rd radial. Crests partly green, thus less conspicuous than in most of the group. Palpus of about as 
long as diameter of eye. One species, of which only a single specimen is known. 
R. granulata Warr. (6 k). In colouring nearest 0. semispurcata Warr. (7 h), but totally different in shape 
and with the brown markings heavier, centrally and at distal margin more band-like. Fonte Boa. 
27. Genus: Xjophocliorista Warr. 
This genus, which completes the derivatives of Oospila, differs chiefly in having the thorax more 
strongly tufted and has also a distinctive colour-scheme. Scaling rather thin. Hindwing with a stronger tooth 
at the 1st than at the 3rd radial. Hindtibia in $ strongly tufted distally; hindfemur also, in the $ of ockendeni, 
strongly fringed. Only 3 species are known. 
L. calliope Druce (5 k). Recognizable by its small size, relatively short $ palpus, presence of a dark 
stripe on the $ abdomen beneath, absence of the dark mark near anal angle of the hindwing beneath, reduction 
of the same above, etc. Mexico (loc. typ.) and Guatemala. 
L. ockendeni Druce (8 a). Palpus of $ with long terminal joint, as in Oospila. Geographically variable. 
The nametypical race, from Carabaya, is a large form and has the subterminal brown (on the underside blackish) 
band broad and heavy. The form from Chanchamayo, with the band somewhat less extreme, need not be 
separated. - klagesi subsp. nov. As large, or almost as large, as ockendeni ($ 40 45 mm, $ 46—48 mm), the 
subterminal band narrower, less dark, distally indented, often more or less interrupted by the veins, sometimes 
in part obsolescent. Venezuela, the finest series collected by S. M. Klages at San Esteban; type in Mus. 
Tring. — orthorisma subsp. (? sp.) nov. (8 a). Smaller (J 33 41 mm, $ 40 -42 mm), head and patagia brighter 
ochreous, the green of the wings slightly more bluish, the median band less mixed with white, on forewing 
distally much straighter, the subterminal band nearly as in klagesi, but with stronger brown teeth distally 
before and behind the 1st radial. Matto Grosso: Burity, 30 miles N. E. of Cuyaba, 2250 feet, 6 30 September 
1927, 9 including the type; Urucum. 15 miles S. of Corumba, 650 feet, 16 -23 November 1927; all collected 
for Mr. Joicey by C. L. Collenette. East Bolivia (J. Steinbaoh),*4 2 99 hi Mus. Tring. 
L. curtifascia sp. n. (8 a). Palpus in both sexes appreciably shorter than in ockendeni , pectinations 
of V antenna also a little shorter. White subbasal area extended, median area somewhat narrowed, its distal 
edge strongly sinuous; subterminal band above more grey, less irrorated and suffused with brown, beneath 
almost as heavy as in ockendeni, but not bulged proximally between the radials, anteriorly cut off abruptly 
at the 1st radial, or with only a little dark scaling in front thereof S. E. Brazil: Castro. Parana (the type 9) 
and Corcovado, Rio (1 9) both in the Dukinfield Jones collection, now in Mus. Brit.; Alto da Serra (R. 
Spitz), a 9 in Mus. Tring, The only <$ known to me is smaller (39 mm) and merely labelled “Brazil”, hence 
not made the type.
