Z. elevata sp. n. (25 a) is rather similar to the diagnose of the genus, but the hairing of the hindwing elevata. 
is not confined to single veins, but the whole disc is above and beneath covered with scanty long whitish hair 
also the forewing exhibits in the cell and at the base of the costal margin beneath longitudinally placed hair; 
like many species of Eriopyga. Forewing pinkish-brown, on the veins and costal margin strewn with a bluish 
white, in the discal area bordered by the darker distinct transverse lines chestnut-brown, the postmedian line 
running almost like in hirtipes, the anterior transverse line forms a uniform, towards the margin convex bow; 
both the upper maculae are somewhat darker, strewn with bluish and encircled with dark brown, the ring- 
macula pear-shaped, the reniform macula on the median somewhat produced towards the base; in the subapical 
costal-marginal part single, purple brown, coarse scales; the undulate line is somewhat marked by darker diffuse 
spots. Hindwing yellowish, at the margin broadly smoky, 1 E from Mt. Tolima (Colombia). 
51. Genus: ILciicaigin 0 . 
Very closely approximating the genus Borolia from which it only differs by the thorax exhibiting pure 
hair without any scales; all the rest is the same. 
L. rubripallems Sm. (25 a) has light reddish wings with reddish-brown, darker brown edged veins rubripal- 
and internerval stripes, and 2 black postmedian dots. Hindwing brownish-grey with white fringes. Canada; ,em * 
Colorado. 
L. yuconensis Bmps, is a very dark species, on the forewing wood-coloured brown, strewn darker, yuconensis. 
with whitish-striped veins, and in the marginal area with dark internerval stripes; at the cell-end a black dot 
and two post median ones. Hindwing brownish black with light fringes. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Canada 
(Yukon). 
L. oxygala Grt. (25 a). Forewing light brownish ochreous with whitish, brown-striped veins and oxygala. 
brown internerval stripes, in the lower cell-angle with a black dot. Hindwing brownish-grey with white fringes, 
Colorado.' 
L. suavis B. & McD. (25 a, b) is on the forewing straw-coloured, scantily strewn with black parti- suavis. 
cularly along the proximal margin; above the median and the middle radial branch with a dark nebulous stripe 
as far as the margin; the veins of the marginal area are on both sides very finely bordered with a dark 
colour, but there are no internerval streaks, whereby the species is easily separated from all the others. Hindwing 
in the $ smoke-grey, in the E darker with light fringes. Arizona. 
L. minorata Sm. (25 b). Forewing ochreous-yellowish with an olive tint, the veins edged with red- minorata. 
brown, and with internerval streaks; below the median very feebly shaded, sometimes also at the proximal 
margin and along the median branches; in the lower cell-angle there is a black dot, and there are 2 postmedian 
ones, occasionally with traces of a line between them. Hindwing light brown. Canada to California. 
L. luteopallens Sm. (25 b) is the American form of our palearctic pallens and hardly different in the hdeopal- 
exterior. Canada to California. Iem • 
L. pertracta Morr. is extremely similar to the preceding, of a somewhat more intense ochreous yellow pertrada. 
with more distinctly white, dark-edged veins; the postmedian row of dots on the veins is better developed. 
Hindwing entirely white. New York. 
L. impuncta Gn. (= decolorata Blch.) (25 b) has ochreous yellowish forewings with whitish, light impunda. 
brown striped veins and light brown internerval lines. Hindwing diaphanous white, on the veins and margin 
yellowish brownish-grey. From Chile. 
L. phaeoneura Bmps. Forewing light reddish-brown, the veins and the basal half of the submedian phaeoneura. 
fold are striped darker, the upper and lower radial branches and the upper median branch are edged with white; 
a postmedian row of dots on the veins is oblique. Hindwing lustrous red-brown with yellowish fringes. Expanse 
of wings: 34 mm. Peru (Acopampa). 
L. niveilinea Schs. (25 b). Forewing golden reddish-yellow with a silvery white subcostal stripe, a niveilinea. 
stripe in the centre of the median and at the base of the lower median branch which meets a similar oblique 
subapical stripe from which short stripes extend on the median branches and the two lower radial branches. 
Hindwing light brown. Mexico. 
52. Genus: Farontn Sm. 
Separated from Leucania by the squat convex thorax, longer abdomen and narrow long wings. The 
frons exhibits a rough rounded projection, but no horny plate below it. Only one species was described: 
F. aleada Sm. has yellowish-white forewings, the disc dusted with a somewhat lead-coloured grey, aleada. 
with a white median, upper median branch and lower radial branch; towards the apex the veins are striped 
slightly darker; no dark dots. Hindwing in both sexes white. Expanse of wings: 32 to 35 mm. From Texas.
