and sometimes there, and then it entirely disappears again for a long time. As to the characterisation of the 
genus cf. Vol. Ill, p. 178. 
S. effusoides Dgn. (34 e) is a large greyish-brown species with a black basal ray, double finely effusoides. 
dentate transverse lines, the maculae surrounded by black; the undulate line is composed of light dots with 
black wedge-shaped spots before it, some of which extend to the posterior transverse line. Hindwing greyish- 
brown, towards the base lighter. From Ecuador and Peru. 
S. callidipes Gn. (34 d) is similar to the preceding, larger, of a more reddish tint, the posterior transverse callidipes. 
line distally bordered with whitish, from the reniform macula to the latter extends a black streak, behind it 
there are black and white vein-dots. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin greyish-brown. Distributed 
from Brazil to Paraguay. 
S. hipparion Drc. (34 e) likewise resembles the two preceding species, it is smaller, of a lustrous reddish- hipparion. 
ochreous colour, and darker irrorated in and below the cell, the anterior transverse line quite indistinct, the 
posterior line dentate, and with black and white vein-dots behind it, without a coniform macula, from the 
reniform macula which is below filled up with black a black streak extends to the postmedian line. Hindwing 
light greyish-brown, at the margin darker. Costa Rica. 
S. lougula Grt. (34 e). Forewing greyish-white, densely irrorated with brown, with a black basal lonrjula. 
ray and a submedian connecting streak between the transverse lines which are bordered with whitish on the 
averted sides. The white undulate line proximally shows black sagittae. The whitish hindwing is darkened 
on the veins and margin. Kansas to New Mexico. 
S. devastator Brace (34 e) is a large, greyish-brown species strewn with black with double transverse devastator. 
lines filled up somewhat grey, the maculae in whitish rings and finely surrounded with black, the reniform 
macula on the median inwardly produced; before the distinct white undulate line with black sagittae. Hindwing 
light brownish, on the veins and margin darker. From Canada to California and Arizona. — Larva of a bright 
green colour with a brown head and darker dorsal and lateral lines, living polyphagous and frequently doing 
harm to all kinds of low kitchen-plants, straw-berries etc. 
22. Genus: Pseudoltiuleiia Alph. 
To this genus being otherwise purely palearctic quite recently a North American species is also reckoned. 
It is chiefly characterized by short bent spines on the outside of the first tarsal joints. The abdomen is tuftless. 
As to further particulars, vid. Vol. Ill, p. 182. In the species placed hereto all the tarsal joints exhibit spines, 
so that, strictly speaking, a new genus would have to be founded. We leave the species here for the present. 
P. vulnerea Grt. (34 e). Originally described as Homohadena, then placed to the genus Namangana by vulnerea. 
Hampson, and of late reckoned hereto. Forewing on the white ground densely irrorated with brown, on the 
folds tinted with yellowish; a black basal ray, single transverse lines, small white maculae surrounded by black, 
with a black streak between them in the cell; undulate line composed of minute yellowish-white spots with small 
black sagittae before them. Utah, Nevada, California, and Arizona. 
23. Genus: Luperiua Bsd. 
Chiefly separated from the preceding genera, by the entirely tuftless abdomen exhibiting some hairs 
only laterally. The thorax is clad with hairs and hair-like scales. Besides a number of palearctic species the 
genus contains some North American and but few tropical species. Cf. Vol. Ill, p. 185. 
L. jelskii Oberth. (34 e) is a fine, variegated species with brown forewings, in some places mixed with jelskii. 
a greyish green, in the basal area white, with an anterior double black transverse line being filled up with white 
and distally scaled carmine, the posterior line composed of black moon-spots with red scales behind them; 
the maculae are small white, red-scaled spots surrounded by black; in the subterminal area there are large 
white spots with two smaller ones between them, behind them a series of small red spots. Hindwing white 
with a brown marginal band. Ecuador, Peru. 
L. cuppes Dyar (34 f) has bronze-brown forewings, with a somewhat darkened median area and double euppes. 
transverse lines filled up with light violet, the large maculae filled up with the same colour; the bronze-coloured 
undulate line is crenulate, the marginal area behind it darkened. Hindwing brown. Mexico. 
L. stipata Morr. (34 f). Forewing light brown with darker striped veins, the median and the branches stipata. 
rising from the lower cell-angle, however, white, with a black basal ray, indistinctly double transverse lines 
submedianly connected by a thick black colour, the small maculae surrounded with black, the reniform macula
