L. bivittata Dogn. is somewhat like rodea (11 b), ash-grey, in the costal part light yellowish, scantily 
strewn with black, with the same 2 black longitudinal rays and discal spot which may be connected with the 
second black ray; all the other markings are absent. Hindwing likewise white. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Ar¬ 
gentina (Mendoza). 
L. radiola Hmps. (= radiatus 8m.) (lib) has greyish-brown forewings strewn with black, the 
veins striped grey and black, and with a black basal ray; the maculae are very small, pupilled whitish, surrounded 
with black; undulate line marked by small black spots. Hindwing white, at the margin brownish. California, 
New Mexico. 
L. niendosica Hmps. (11 b). Brownish-grey, with a short black basal ray, which is finely continued 
on the submedian fold; the grey maculae are situate in the blackened cell; behind and below it some brownish 
dusting, the veins striped brownish, with minute brown subapical spots. Hindwing greyish-brown with white 
fringes. Argentina (Aconcagua). 
L. strigigrapha Hmps. is on the forewing brownish-grey, strewn with brown, with darker, light- 
edged veins and a black basal ray extending to the margin; another black stripe is in the lower half of the cell; 
the ring-macula is very small, in a grey ring and pupilled black, the reniform macida is a small black spot hardly 
marked grey; there are postmedian, blackish-brown internerval stripes, on the margin black dots; no transverse 
lines whatever. Hindwing white, the costal margin and distal margin dusted with brown, in the $ darker. 
Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Patagonian Andes. 
L. ornea Drc. (= altes Drc.) (11 b). Ochreous yellow, scantily strewn with black, with 3 or 4 small 
black costal-marginal spots and a larger indistinctly defined one on the inner-marginal vein; the ring-macula 
is only traceable, the reniform macula black, comma-shaped; the posterior transverse line is rudimentary; 
undulate line lighter, proximally bordered with dark brown or black, the space behind it likewise darkened. 
Hindwing diaphanous white with brownish margin and veins. The $ is more brownish-grey with dark, blackish- 
brown hindwings with white fringes. —- federalis Dyar (11 c) are the light ash-grey or brownish-grey male forms. 
— Mexico and Costa Rica, widely distributed and common. 
L. figulina sp. n. (13 h) resembles dark ochreous-brown of ornea , but its antennae are long-combed 
as far as the apex. Bright ochreous-brown, the marginal area darkened blackish behind the undulate line, crossed 
by somewhat grey-dusted veins; in the cell there is a short black longitudinal streak at the base, another above 
the median before the round ring-macula which is in a hardly visibly darker ring, a third above the lower cell-end; 
behind the transverse vein which is thickly strewn with whitish-grey at its lower end, there is a small black 
crescent, downwards crossed by the two whitish-grey strewn branches; instead of the post median line a slightly 
bent row of small black dots on the veins, on the margin a black lunular line interrupted by the veins. Hind¬ 
wing in the disc diaphanous, dusted with brownish, the darkest at the costal margin and apex. One $ from 
Pacho (Colombia). 
L. ecliptica Hmps. is ochreous red-brown with a slightly bent red-brown subbasal line and single 
red-brown transverse lines, the posterior line undulate; the upper maculae consist of an effaced small ring and 
the narrow, dark reniform macula which is surrounded with whitish, the coniform macula being only marked 
at its apex; traces of a median shade; undulate line effaced, before it at the costal margin a small dark triangular 
spot. Hindwing white, costal margin, veins, and distal margin dusted with brown. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. 
Fuegia. 
L. atrimedia Hmps. Forewing bright ferruginous brown, in the costal part strewn with white, with 
the two single transverse lines, the posterior line very finely undulate; the narrow coniform macula is finely 
encircled with black, the two upper maculae strewn with white and surrounded with black, the ring-macula 
above open, the cell before and between them and the space between the reniform macula and the postmedian 
line dusted with black; undulate line very indistinct with a small darker spot before it at the costal margin. 
Hindwing white, at the costal margin strewn with brown. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. Fuegia. 
L. scandens Riley (= data 8m.) (Ilb) is light grey, often suffused with reddish or yellow, and 
somewhat strewn with black; the double transverse lines are only fragmentary, the posterior line is a double 
row of dots; maculae indistinct, yellowish-reddish and encircled with black, the reniform macula below pupilled 
darker; the undulate line consists of small whitish lunae bordered by black and orange. Hindwing white, on 
the veins and margin brownish. In the north and east of the United States, and Colorado. The larva is greenish- 
brown with darker clouded longitudinal lines; it lives polyphagous on low plants. 
L. atrifascia Hmps. has grey forewings dusted and strewn with brown, the latter particularly on the 
veins; both the transverse lines indistinctly double, the posterior line finely dentate, behind it on the veins 
black and white dots; the upper maculae are small, incompletely surrounded with black, between them and 
behind the reniform macula one black longitudinal streak each; the undulate line is only definable by the darker 
marginal area. Hindwing of a pure white. Expanse of wings: 32 to 38 mm. Argentina.
