G. jacopa Schs. (43 f) is much smaller, in the basal third yellowish-green, in the central area black jacopa. 
and in the marginal area blackish-brown; the black transverse lines are finely dentate, the maculae white, the 
posterior transverse line on both sides irrorated with green, also the margin irrorated with green; fringe black 
speckled with white. Hindwing black with a large opalescent white spot. Expanse of wings: 19 mm. Guatemala. 
131. Genus: Tjeiicosigma Hmps. 
Like the preceding genus, but with a cpiite smooth frons, erect slender palpi, the thorax almost only 
clad with scales, in front and behind with loose tufts, abdomen tuftless. Forewing below the apex excised. 
Only 3 small species. 
L. uncifera Drc. (43 f). Forewing fiery red, mixed with yellow, with brown-striped veins; in the base uncifera. 
of the cell and at the lower cell-end one white spot each; the finely dentate transverse lines are on the averted 
sides bordered with white, the apex parted by white. Hindwing light red-brown, at the margin with a fiery 
red hue. Peru. 
L. reletiva Dyar (43 f) is evidently very similar to uncifera, but the ground-colour is violettish-grey, releliva. 
without any red, the white spots are yellow, and the light apical spot is quadrangular. Hindwing brownish- 
grey. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Described according to a much flown $ from Panama. 
L. separata Zerny (43 f) has light olive-brown forewings with indistinct brownish transverse lines, separata. 
the anterior line double, the posterior line quite indistinct, with purely white maculae margined with blackish, 
the reniform macula on the median inwardly removed; a white marginal line is towards the apex more proximally 
removed, but here in the centre it projects again to the margin, whereby the approximate figure of a flat 3 
is produced; here the marginal area behind it is dark olive-brown. Hindwing whitish with a broad dark marginal 
band. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Bolivia. 
132. Genus: Calj iiiniosles Hmps. 
This genus comprises a large number of mostly strong, beautifully coloured and marked species with 
a well developed proboscis, erect palpi with a short terminal joint, a smooth frons, scaled thorax with a small 
tuft behind, and a tuftless abdomen which, however, is often clad with long rough hair. Wings rather narrow. 
The range extends from Mexico to the south. 
C. basicarnea Wkr. (= cirrus Fldr.) (43 f) is in the d distinguished by dense woolly hair on the basal basicarnea. 
half of the forewing beneath; also above the basal half is densely covered with purple red hair; the two white 
transverse lines are confluent above the hind-margin; the maculae are minute orange spots, behind the distal 
line follows a violettish-grey band. Hindwing light brown, at the margin darker. Venezuela to Peru. 
C. rhodopis Drc. (43 f). Forewing on the white ground red-brown mixed with black, the two transverse rhodopis. 
lines white, the posterior line doubly edged with black, the maculae are orange-reddish; behind the white 
undulate line the marginal area is darkened. Hindwing white, at the margin brownish. Peru. 
C. ferrealis Hmps. has light red-brown forewings with brown very indistinct transverse lines, the fcrrcalis. 
posterior line distally bordered with white, the somewhat lighter maculae are only very feebly indicated; 
before the feeble whitish undulate line small brown spots. Hindwing white, at the margin red-brown. Expanse 
of wings: 44 mm. Colombia. 
C. leucographa Hmps. (43 g). Forewing deep chestnut-red, in the basal area white, towards the hind- leucogra- 
margin mixed with yellowish, with white transverse lines being confluent above the hind-margin, and with pha. 
small fiery red maculae; behind the postmedian line with a narrow white band with white veins behind it as 
far as the white undulate line. Hindwing white with a red-brown marginal band. Peru. 
C. promentoria Dgn. (43 g) is similarly marked, but the ground-colour is light yellow, irrorated with promento- 
red-brown, postmeclianly whitish; the brown transverse lines are bordered with white on the averted sides and via. 
confluent above the hind-margin; the maculae are small lighter spots. Hindwing white, at the apex feebly 
brownish with a dark central spot. Ecuador, Peru. 
C. obconica Drc. (43 g) is one of the most beautiful and largest species and very similar to leucographa-, obconica. 
forewing deep red-brown, before and behind the median area violettish-grey, edged by the white, above the 
hind-margin confluent transverse lines; the maculae are small reddish spots; behind the postmedian line at 
the costal margin a large white spot with a red-brown spot therein, before the apex with an oblique white costal- 
marginal streak; the undulate line is violettish-grey, before it there are small brown spots. Hindwing white 
with a brown marginal band and central spot. Peru. 
C. grandimacula Gn. (43 g) is smaller, with narrower wings, the hindwing greyish-brown, otherwise grandima- 
very similarly marked. Brazil. c » ? «- 
C. oliveata Hmps. (43 g) is likewise very similar; ground-colour more orange-yellow strewn with oliveata. 
black, at the hind-margin and marginal area irrorated with dark brown; the grey transverse lines are confluent 
close on the hind-margin, not above it; the orange maculae are more distinctly surrounded with blackish brown, 
the reniform macula strangulated. Hindwings greyish-brown, at the margin darker. South-Eastern Peru.
