P. discistriga Sm. (38 c) is larger than the preceding, of a more ochreous reddish colour, in and below 
the cell more intensely strewn with black; the transverse lines are indicated by rows of vein-dots or streaks, 
at the costal margin by small whitish strigiform spots, the reniform macula is very narrow, surrounded with 
black, with a small whitish spot below behind it; instead of the undxdate line there are small black sagittiform 
spots. Hindwing of a pure white. Colorado, Durango. 
P. videns Gn. (= indigens Wkr., atriciliata Grt., meskei Spr.) (38 c). Forewing red-brown with black- 
strewn veins and rows of black and white vein-dots instead of the transverse lines; at the lower cell-end there 
is a faded black stripe with 3 white dots; the undulate line is absent. Hindwing white, at the margin brownish. 
Massachusetts to Colorado. — The dull green larva with white longitudinal lines lives on Solidago. — The form 
albipuncta Sm. is lighter, yellowisli-grey, only in the disc irrorated with red-brown, in the marginal area except 
the apex suffused with blackish. Texas. 
92. Genus: Gonodes Hmps. 
A small number of representatives from mostly tropical districts without any differences from the 
preceding except the not so slender structure and a slight excision below the somewhat pointedly produced 
apex of the forewing. 
G. dianiphca Jones (38 b). Forewing ochre-brownish, in the disc irrorated with red-brown and a 
large brown triangular spot at the margin below the apex, with very indistinct transverse lines, the anterior 
line being partly double; the reniform macula is a brown triangular spot, bordered with white and black, with a 
white wedge-shaped spot before it above the median; behind the double dots of the distal transverse line the 
upper median branch is on both sides striped white. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin brownish. Brazil. 
G. albifascia Hmps. The white forewing is irrorated with reddish brown and as far as the posterior 
transverse line strewn with blackish-brown; behind the traces of the brown anterior transverse line the median 
is white-striped with a black dot at the lower cell-end; the double posterior transverse line is filled up with 
white and meets on the discal fold an oblique white apical band which is below shaded with brown and below 
which, towards the hind-margin, there is a white spot; behind the white undulate line the upper median branch 
and the lowest radial branch are striped white. Hindwing white, at the margin brownish. Expanse of wings: 
28 mm. Peru. 
G. netopha Schs. (42 b). The lower part of the wings from the base of the hind-margin to the distal 
margin below the apex is light yellowish-red, in and below the cell with a pink tint, above it brown; below the 
centre of the cell there is a blackish longitudinal stripe bordered with red-brown, at the cross-vein a dark dot; 
a fragment of the posterior transverse line is distally bordered with white, behind it above the upper median 
branch there is a blackish-brown spot, from which white stripes extend to the margin. Hindwing brownish- 
grey. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Costa Rica. 
G. albifissa Drc. (38 c). Forewing greyish-white, strewn with brown, in the proximal part beginning 
from the base of the hind-margin, reddish-brown, with a triangular darker shadow between the apex and lower 
cell-end with brown, finely white-striped veins therein, the ring-macula is a small red-brown triangular spot, the 
cell-end is tinted yellow and red, the reniform macula therein a brown white-edged streak with a wedge-shaped 
red-brown spot behind it; instead of the posterior transverse line there are single black vein-dots; the apex is par¬ 
ted by a white stripe, also above the upper median branch there is another one. Hindwing light brownish. Peru. 
G. echion Schs. (42 c). Forewing brownish ochreous with a brownish-grey triangular shadow in the 
centre of the costal margin, at first bordered with dark brown, then finely with white; transverse lines only 
fragmentary, very fine; between the lower radial branches there is a subterminal blackish-brown spot. Hindwing 
brownish-grey. British Guiana. 
G. obliqua Drc. (38 d) is a well-known species. Forewing light red-brown, in the apical third 
irrorated with whitish, with fine black transverse lines bordered with whitish; the narrow strangulated reniform 
macula is red, bordered with yellow, and from its lower end an oblique red-brown streak extends to the anal 
angle; before the faint lighter undulate line there are small brown spots, above the lower median branch there 
is a larger blackish spot. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin red-brown. Colombia. 
G. liquida Mschlr. (= violascens Schs., leada Drc.) (38 d). Forewing in the proximal part as far as 
the centre of the costal margin and anal angle light reddish-brown, from there darker brown with light veins, 
the anterior transverse line indistinctly double, the posterior line distally bordered with whitish, the reniform 
macula is large, the ring-macula absent; instead of the undulate line there are small red-brown spots, at the 
anal angle there is a black spot. Hindwing reddish-brown. Distributed from the southern parts of North 
America to Paraguay. -— In ab. tornalis Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) the black spot above the anal angle is absent. 
G. cuneata Dyar is smaller than the preceding, the brown costal area is confined to a small costal- 
marginal triangle which only extends to the centre of the reniform macula, the posterior transverse line is 
more bent in an obtuse angle, to which a broad stripe extends from below the apex, whence it is continued 
to the centre of the reniform macula. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. Panama. — According to recent statements, 
this form is identical with echion (42 c), the name being thus synonymous.
