ring it exhibits a dorsal tuft, the other rings being without tufts; the thorax is somewhat more clad with hair, 
of a more quadrangular shape, the prothorax exhibits a mostly very distinctly bipartite tuft. 
H. graminea Schs. (17 g) with the two following species forms a group of very closely allied and similar 
species. It is the smallest and neatest species with the lightest colouring and entirely white lrindwings; the 
forewing is of a yellowish white, suffused with pinkish-reddish; the two white transverse lines are confluent on 
the proximal-marginal vein, the narrow maculae are obliquely downward convergent; a reddish-white stripe 
extending from the apex is connected with the postmedian line. From Brazil: Castro (Parana). 
H. procincta Grt. (17 g) is similarly marked as graminea, with the same transverse lines being con¬ 
fluent above the proximal margin, but it is much larger, stronger, of a much darker colouring, more olive-brown, 
with particularly quite dark lrindwings. Its range extends to the north as far as Canada, to the south through 
Mexico as far as Costa Rica. 
H. graminivora Wkr. (17 g) very much resembles procincta, but it is easily discernible by the trans¬ 
verse lines not being united at the proximal margin, and a small ochreous-white oblique streak above the distal 
end of the coniform macula. Arizona, Mexico to Venezuela. 
H. elaeistis Drc. (17 h) differs by the veins being in the proximal area more intensely striped reddish- 
white, the absence of the anterior transverse line which only forms a very long, pointed, distal tooth at the 
proximal margin, by a much longer Avhite streak above the extremely long coniform macula, and by the 
upper maculae being confluent below; on the yellowish-white subterminal band parting the apex there are 
traces of the posterior transverse line. Hindwing whitish, on the veins and margin suffused with brown. North 
Peru. 
H. nectaristis sp. nov. (17 h) is allied to elaeistis and also strongly recalls Tmetol. polygona\ olive- 
brown, the whole costal-marginal area, the veins, the maculae being confluent in the shape of a V, and a sub- 
terminal band are very light yellowish-grey; the bordering of the maculae, strigiform rudiments of the transverse 
lines and the small spots of the undulate line are black, the latter distally accompanied by a light line; above 
and behind the coniform macula a narrow, long, white hook-like streak. Hindwing diaphanous white, on 
the veins faintly brownish. According to 1 <$ from Mt. Tolima (Colombia), in the Coll. Fassl. 
H„ albisignata Mssn. (17 i) probably belongs hereto; it is similar to nectaristis, but much smaller. 
Forewing yellowish-grey, the upper maculae light yellow, margined with dark, the reniform macula with a 
darker, concentric ring, between it and the long oblique oval ring-macula a dark brown spot; above and below 
the submedian fold fine black stripes, a similar bent one above the basal half of the proximal-marginal area; 
before the distal margin there is a row of blackish-brown wedge-shaped spots. Hindwing whitish with yellowish 
veins and a somewhat darker discal spot. From Bolivia (Tiahuanaco), from an altitude of 4500 m. 
H. oenistis Drc. (17 h) is somewhat like graminivora, but with broader wings, much darker, more 
red-brown, dusted with black, without the white-striped veins, only the median and the base of the lower 
radial branch being reddish-white, the others purple-grey; above the coniform macula there is a faintly lighter 
streak, the upper maculae are not confluent; the light subterminal band is like in albisignata. Hindwing blackish- 
brown with reddish fringes. From Northern Peru. 
H. resputa sp. nov. (17 h) is allied to the preceding. Forewing with a copper-reddish reflection, brownish, 
strewn with blackish-brown, submedianly with a blackish-brown trapezoid spot between the double transverse 
lines being very convergent towards the proximal margin, the anterior line returning to the base below the 
the proximal-marginal vein as a flat bow above filled up with blackish-brown; the submedian trapezoid spot 
is above bordered by a white line. No ring-macula, the reniform macula is an oblique oval distally bordered 
with a somewhat purer white, and pupilled with a dark shade, behind it blackish-brown dusting; like in the 
allies a broad light stripe in the subterminal area extends from the apex to the proximal margin, terminating 
on the proximal-marginal vein and distally accompanying the posterior transverse line beginning from the 
lower radial branch; subapically it is inside bordered by 3 long deep blackish-brown wedge-shaped spots, below 
them some more smaller ones proximally to the postmedian line; the undulate line consists of black spots 
pupilled with small white sagittae; it projects towards the margin below the centre; hindwing brownish-grey, 
in the disc lighter, the light fringes with a dark, broad line of partition. 1 $ from Mt. Tolima (Colombia). 
H. eugrapha Hmps. Forewing red-brown, mixed with grey and somewhat strewn with black, with a 
yellowish-white striped median as far as the undulate line, double transverse lines filled up with whitish, the 
anterior line exhibiting in front of it at the proximal margin a bent yellowish line; the posterior line unites 
on the upper radial branch with a light grey subapical band which is then continued along its distal edge to 
the proximal margin; above the coniform macula an oblique white streak, the upper oblique maculae are sur¬ 
rounded with yellowish-white, the reniform macula is produced on the median as far as the ring-macula; the 
undulate line consists of black sagittae striped yellowish-white. Hindwing white, at, the margin brownish. 
Expanse of wings: 36 mm. South-East Peru. 
H. rnesotoma Hmps. is much smaller; forewing dark red-brown, except the discal area below the 
subcostal dusted with grey, with a reddish stripe on the proximal margin and a white-striped median and its 
branches proceeding from the lower cell-angle, otherwise marked very much like the preceding with the white-
