strewn more olive-brownish, with single brown transverse lines, the anterior line composed of 4 bows, the 
smallest in the cell, the posterior line irregularly dentate; the blackish-grey median line extends slightly bent 
to the lower end of the reniform macula whence it bends in an obtuse angle to the proximal margin which is 
darkened brownish-grey; no coniform macula, the upper maculae rather small, in somewhat lighter rings and 
finely encircled with brownish. Hind wing very dark blackish-grey with ochreous-yellowish fringes. Based 
upon 1 $ from Mexico (Zacualpan), having been taken in May, and named according to Mr. Roberto Muller 
of Mexico, who discovered so many new Noctuids. As only the $ is known, nothing certain can be said about 
the antennae of the 
H. cauta Schs. (18 h) has dark brown forewings dusted with fiery red, with dark, single, undulate ecu da. 
transverse lines and with a small, yellowish-white reniform macula pupilled fiery red, the other maculae being 
absent; the undulate line is red, proximally shaded with dark; hindwing blackish-brown with a yellowish tint 
and light fringes. Costa Rica. 
H. leucopis Hmps. (18 h) is extremely similar, different by the presence of the small brown ring- leucopis. 
macula which is spotted whitish, and the round, purely white reniform macula showing a small brown pupil; 
the undulate line is indistinct light. Hindwing ochreous-brownish. From Peru. 
H. lepida sp. n. (18 h) is very closely allied to the two preceding species. Forewing on its orange- lepida. 
ochreous ground densely dusted with red-brown; of the two double transverse lines the lines facing each other 
are thickened red-brown, the distal ones being feeble, light reddish, the median line indistinct; the ring-macula 
is a small horizontal oval, tapering towards the base, yellowish, the reniform macula of a pure white, very 
finely pupilled dark; the veins in the cliscal and marginal area are black, strewn with white; undulate line 
yellowish, proximally bordered with red-brown. Hindwing diaphanous white. — In flavostigma form. nov. flavostigma. 
(18 h) the reniform macula is yellow instead of white. From Colombia (Pacho). 
H. compulsa sp. nov. (18 h) is very similar and perhaps not a separate species, considerably larger, compulsa. 
not so fiery red with a smaller, purely white, not pupilled reniform macula and brownish-grey hindwings with 
a darker marginal band. According to 1 £ from the Quindiu Pass (Colombia), taken by Fassl. 
H. leucogramma Hmps. (18 i) differs from the preceding by the white, but slightly curved undulate leucogram- 
line. Forewing purple pink with blackish-brown veins, behind the cell suffused with blackish-brown, in the 
proximal part more yellow, strewn with fiery red; the maculae are yellow, strewn with fiery red, the reniform 
macula below and distally dotted white. Hindwing blackish-brown. Brazil to Paraguay. 
H. pyrastis Dogn. (18 i). Forewing golden yellow, thickly strewn with fiery red, with a narrow blackish- pyrastis. 
brown costal margin and proximal margin, and a broad similar marginal area; of the same colour are the markings, 
the transverse lines are double, between them a thick median line forming an obtuse flaw a the proximal lower 
end of the reniform macula; the maculae are rather small. Hindwing brownish-grey, towards the base lighter. 
Peru and Colombia. 
H. marcona Schs. has dark brown, lustrous silky forewings, in the discal area and at the margin marcona. 
shaded blackish, with fine black transverse stripes being bordered with a lighter colour on the averted sides, 
the posterior line being dentate; the upper maculae are white, the ring-macula pupilled with a cinnamon-brown 
colour, the reniform macula in the middle strangulated with a cinnamon-brown line in the centre; undulate 
line dentate. Hindwing blackish-grey. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. Guatemala (Volcano of Sta. Maria). 
H. pothen Dyar. Forewing reddish-brown, in the basal half more reddish; transverse lines extinct, pothen 
the proximal line and the median line appearing as dark shades, the distal line likewise, distally bordered with 
white, on the veins dentate; no maculae except an indistinct, white dusted spot instead of the reniform macula; 
behind the broken yellowish undulate line the marginal area is dark; across the wings single white scales are 
scattered, forming 4 white dots in the distal part of the costal margin and likewise white dots at the ends of 
the veins. Hind wing diaphanous grey with darker veins, discal spot and marginal line. Expanse of wings: 
27 mm. Mexico. 
H. rectilinea Dyar is a very different species with light purple forewings, with a dark bronze reflection reciilinea. 
in a large spot at the distal margin; all the markings entirely extinct except the straight, white distal transverse 
line which is proximally bordered with a fine dark line. Hindwing whitish, distally dusted with a purple grey. 
Expanse of wings: 29 mm. Mexico (City), taken by Rob. Muller. 
20. Genus; E^iigiaiilleFia Dyar. 
It is the most closely allied to the genus Hadena (vid. p. 113), but without any abdominal tufts. The 
large, round, hairy eyes are not ciliated, the frons is only rounded, without a projection; the thorax is covered 
with narrow scales. Only 1 species: 
E. cliopis Dyar. Forewing dark purple brown, uniformly marbled with blackish spots representing eliopis. 
the fragments of the normal Noctuid marking; at the base of the costal margin there is a light dot, the proximal 
transverse line is represented by an angular spot, the distal line by a dot, besides 3 subapical ones; coniform 
macula small, black, the circular black ring-macula is surrounded with olive-yellow, like the large reniform 
macula, which is distally straightly not concavely defined; the olive-yellow, distinct undulate line is subcostally
